Devin's Portrait Project

Please pick one and comment with your choice, so that each person has a photo to work with, and so no one is accidentally working on the same one! (Note by Milan - include your email or contact Devin and he will email you the portrait file.)

And for everyone who doesn't have a photo here, please take one in the same style, and post it up for download so we can get your portrait circulatin'.

Once you're done you may resubmit your recreated work to be hyper re-created by another co/lab member, or you can submit a final.

Sock Monkey Updates

Our sock monkeys are growing in numbers (slowly). More help would be greatly appreciated =) If you guys remember how to make them, grab some socks and add to the pile! Here is a link with instructions if you don't remember. Also, we will be getting Co/Lab buttons soon! We will be using them for the eyes and also for passing out and such. And, we are planning to sell the Sock Monkeys for Second Saturday, so see you guys there!

New URL & Venue Viewing

EDIT: My mistake! May 10th is 2nd Saturday! Obviously, second, saturday. der.
______________

Good morning all,
Milan here. Just a quick announcement that the url has finally changed from 07 to 08 (an easier adjustment than I thought), and that Second Saturday is this week, Saturday May 3rd from about 6-10 pm. It's going to be great weather this weekend, so carpool, grab a drink, walk around the spring night, have a late dinner in Downtown Sac.

Most importantly, I highly encourage you to check out our venue OLIPOM and get a feel of the space and optimize your projects around that. =) The better we plan the more fun we'll have. (I sound like my mom, ugh)

Alrighty y'all, forgive me for the mass emails and such, but I feel inspired to get more involved. I got a good feeling about this =)

peace,
Milan

PS) Thank gosh for the new second saturday website, if any of your remember what it used to look like. Whew!

oki's project ideas

so I had a lot of ideas but I've narrowed it down

1) ART VIDEO- the subject matter is hair. it should be fun and weird and i need people to be in it and to help me with the technical stuff. ask me more in person or see cory he has a piece of paper with details. a lot of the acting is just moving around and dealing with costume. some of it doesn't even involve your face so don't be afraid to participate if you are camera shy.

2) IMAGINARY MAP- yes! lets make an imaginary map! using many mediums! full of dangerous creatures too.

3) ZINE- this is an ongoing project that I want to get started but it could be done for next year. I want ideas and input and help though.

Milan, Semar, and potential others - Installation in the works...

So Milan and I figured that since we are unable to frequent the meetings as much as we want to, we wanted to be able to make work still regardless of that fact. We are actually in a very convenient living situation, so why not work on a major project together.

What we are thinking of doing is working on a window installation with an emphasis on an oriental aesthetic and subtle details. We are primarily using wood contructions and paper. Generally, it will be a very very fancy frame that surrounds an image yet to be discussed, but definitely the actual window will be the main focus. We have talked about how we like white on white paintings and want to simulate that on the window panels via seperate, intricate folds and patterns.

Milan and I are still fleshing out the project, so hopefully construction will start very soon once the concept is solid. We'll keep you guys posted.

Project Updates: Post a Comment!

Hey All,

Let this be our project check-in post. Leave a comment giving your status; it can be a description of your idea/concept, a status report of where you are on your project, or even "I'm stumped"/"Help me". This helps us all to organize and see each others' work as well as let me know where people are, and who needs some guidance. If you are planning to do a project but haven't a clue where to start, please let us know in a comment.

I saw this and it reminded me of Sam's poster thing last year where everyone took a particular square and filled it according to the given colors and within the lines.
