Dubin) Subject: Re: electronic exhibition After this idea first came up, I contacted a friend in Seattle who is currently putting together an exhibition of my work for his on line gallery. He also would be interested in working on something like this. Did I mistake the fact that Pierre said he had 15MB of disc space? My friend thought he could work with Pierre on this, if I read the above correctly. Yes, getting FIRM COMMITTEMENTS is a major hurddle, however, its not like we are renting a building to hold this exhibition in.Therefore, the time-elemement isn't as critical. Also, I will be in Paris & London in October, and can "pick-up" slides, or CD-ROM scanned disks if this would help. The biggest problems I forsee have more to do with judgement calls, for example: We COULD just as easily, shoot for the "big one", as have a minor exhibition... why not declare this somewhat on the order of the first International Surrealist (and associated) visual exhibition on the WWW. Equally, as this would leave out the participation of many people who are deeply involved in Surrealism, but NOT in the visual end, why not utilize ARTlab, which is already set-up as an electronic clearing house and publisher, to link written material to the visual exhibition? I would think, that the larger, more stupendous we make the effort, the less problem we might have with getting work for it. As Barrett has already mentioned, he, I and Celine, through ARTlab, went round and round on all of this for about 1 1/2 years... we did successfuly "publish" 4 issues of a portfolio, so we have some preliminary steps already worked out.
