Dear Friends,
I have emailed your 4 working groups (banking-actions, ideas, arts, street)
for ideas on disseminating (wheat pasting) the life-sized art that a group
I am part of has been researching, laying out, and printing for the last
few weeks. I am assured by some local press that the content of our art
will garner print and online interest. Of course the coverage will be
especially good if dissemination is wide, visible, and well-coordinated. We
are making wheat-pasting kits for anyone who wants to help scout locations
and place pieces.
The two pieces ready for dissemination at this stage are:
1. life-sized Obama, receiving money from a life-sized finance-industry
representative; the body of Obama is covered with news articles describing
his cozy relationship with the finance industry
2. life-sized Romney, receiving money from a life-sized finance-industry
representative; the body of Romney is covered with news articles describing
his cozy relationship with the finance industry
*The ask: will a few representatives (or a number of interested members) be
interested in seeing these works at MIT in 2 weeks (date and time TBA based
on your availability) and advise/agree on a plan for dissemination via our
friends and contacts throughout the city? *If so, we will begin to arrange
time and location.
If you are interested: our next wide-scale art release will be an anti
military-industrial complex insert/infographic meant to be a massively
reprinted guerilla placement, placed widely in a given day's (metro? boston
globe? boston occupier?) newspapers.
Love,
Nadeem
