Hey Emma, Egle, Louise, Halla and Will
What a team. Fully sick sub woofer.
At this point in time it I always find it difficult to not kill the vibe with an over the top analysis or overly ‘corporate’ proposals. So you will find attached a pdf with some bullet points. But I am not so subtle with word processing and formatting so it will just have to do. (I find DIY Corporate aesthetic very humorous by the way.) Just so you know, I have an overwhelming feeling that my ideas are a bit lame and are limited to my way of thinking which is a direct result of the experiences I have had and my personality. I am sending this pdf to everyone, for two purposes. 1, so you know how/what I have been thinking (and also this document is summarising many discussions I have had with other INPEX ppl) 2, but more as an offer for you to bring what ever you want in to the project. I think it is beneficial to have something from which to orientate, and I am looking forward to these things here being overwhelmingly panned and elaborated.
So this is the point that I come from. The feeling that what I write is one thing, but that the potential is so much more, and collectively we will be able to find a tone/content/reference points that somehow open up new territories and possibilities for shaping this ‘field’ into something substantially more kick ass. (When I say 'field' I think it is ok that this can mean something different to everyone involved.) I have read a lot more Cosmopolitan and than Deleuze, but I don't think that should exclude me from articulating some sort of written information about the 'field'. Which is the fun and open aspect of this format, that we have room to move when it comes to defining format/mode/design etc. I think my interests and my knowledge are totally wicked, but finding connections between mine and yours is something beneficial to you, to me and the rest of the world. At the root of my desire to do this is to find a new way to have a kick ass time and work, and that it is not studio based performance investigations, but it is a situation where we can all get a lot out of in relation to our individual practices. I do have expectations that this will be very clever, but I also have hopes that it will be so bad that people will not be able to help themselves to talk about it, and it’s so bad because we pushed it really freakin' far.
Also it has excellent opportunity for INPEX to gain some serious international exposure, so we can be marketingwise as shameless as possible.
So on a serious/fun and ridiculous/bad and activist/contemporary note I request the following information from all:
1. Do we want to work in Stockholm before hand or another city? Berlin for example. I think two days will be sufficient - on the 4 and 5 August.
2. Flights. If we work with the dates to arrive Stockholm/Berlin to start work on the 4th where will you be arriving from? And then on the 15th but preferably the 16th where will you be flying to? INPEX will cover these flights. But to keep costs down we should book them soon. I think it will be easiest if you do the research and find the cheapest most convenient flights. I will find the flight for us all to Vienna from wherever we decide to work.
3. Do you have connections in Vienna? I have asked Kroot if we can have her flat, but another space may be good to have as well. So we have separate living/working quarters.
Of course it is an option too that we work the preparation time in Vienna. But I am partial to arriving and then just getting into the publication immediately.
We have to have a Swedish Dance History book release party too. Fun.
This project is happening. I am going on 'vacation' for a week and will have limited web access from Sunday onwards so if you can send me some info before then in response to this mail then that would be nice.
I know circular emails are quite intensive, but it would be great if we all could have an idea of each others positioning and desires for this project. So cc everyone in.
YEAH

ps. This project is a rip off of this project... http://www.theincidental.org
So check it out if you haven't already.
