Dear all
This email is a quick proposal for an INPEX project this summer. We spoke about it at the last INPEX meeting attended by Emma, Tor and myself, and I have mentioned it to a few people before.
During the last week of Impulstanz INPEX will set up a daily publication. The exact format to still to be debated thoroughly, but we have been thinking along the lines of 2 pages of A3, with the ‘feel’ of a newspaper. It will distributed over five consecutive days and will accumulate over the week, to create a magazine. We will print roughly 200 copies every day with the total circulation being 1000.
The purpose of the publication, which is importantly not invited or endorsed by Impulstanz, is not to critique Impulstanz and its performances, but celebrate ‘the festival’ and the activity going on inside it. The publication is to investigate and claim once again, a new mode and format of writing in a dance context, influenced by contemporary technologies and concerns by its makers. As an activity for INPEX, the international concentration that a festival such as Impulstanz provides is a great situation to firmly engage the priorities and objectives of INPEX, the main ones in this instance being: international attention to dance activity in a Swedish context and creating a dance culture of a different kind.
The schedule which we discussed at the meeting the other night is as follows:
Monday 03.08 - meet in Stockholm (for 3 days) to discuss format/content
Thursday 06.08 - travel to Vienna to prepare
Monday 10.08 - first publication released
Friday 14.08 - last publication distributed
The initial discussion time in Stockholm is vital, as we do not want to be discussing potential alternative formats when we could be producing content.
We will be in Vienna to focus on this project and the set-up is appropriately hard-core, which will not offer participation in the festival as one does traditionally.
INPEX will pay for flights, accommodation and living costs whilst in Vienna, plus the capital for the printing and distribution of the publication. I have investigated renting a large apartment for us all to live in, and at the moment, we will be working from this location as well.
So what do you say? Are you interested in being involved. Let me know asap, as it is imperative that the team is sorted, before we can continue making further arrangements.
Kind regards and summer love from Croatia

PS If anyone is heading to Gothenburg can they take books from konstnärsnämden with them? Talk to me more if you are. Actually that goes for anywhere. Take books, they are a smash hit and people want want want and it's a lovely experience, as you may know already to see the glint in people's eye when they see the silver cover and then... even more importantly when they see what's inside.
