title for one piece

I just need to record this idea i had before i forget:

something real
something imagined
something apropriated

(for the deer antler piece)

Katie is back from her trip, and the school year is about to begin again. We are coming to our final stages of the project, and it has been amazing. We met yesterday for breakfast and then went to the reading room to look at footage of our trips and discuss how we want to present the work we have done. I am quite excited to see it all come together and very greatful for the opportunity we have been given by the reading room. I move into a studio space in September, I hope to be able to begin documenting some of the installations I want to use in the final show, will try to post images when they become available. I think the show will be exciting, we have video, ongoing performance, installations, and are considering ways to make the gallery space into a magical, experiential environment.. !

some themes we are focusing on:
land
energy
landscape (human, environment, historical)

I have some great quotes and thoughts I hope to scan or type out on the subject..
okay, that's all.. just thought to get a few notes down about where things are at.

link i might need: how to construct electric fence

http://www.ehow.com/how_2122429_make-electric-fence.html

i have been considering an installation using electric fence to discuss the ways that certain things are well guarded and protected (such as in business) but other things, such as culture, emotions, ideas are often left quite exposed to be manipulated or destroyed..

by placing electric wire, or maybe i will just use barbed wire. wonder where to get that in montreal...

thoughts to be continued..
