LETS DO SUMTHING DUDES

DEAR PSYCHIC FRIENDS,

(CAREY, MARGO, BETTINA, BETTY, MAX, EMILY, NEIL, JENNA, CLAIRE, MAUDE, PEGGY, MITCHELL, RAY-RAY,NICK, BEN, MEL, JOANNA...ETC. WHOEVER ELSE WANT TO BE IN IT )(SORRY IF I FORGOT YOUR NAME. IM DUMB.)

I LOVE YOU. I WAS LOOKING AT FB PICS OF US AT CROWDED PARTIES.
AND I WAS REMINDED THAT WE USED TO HANG IN CLOSE ASS QUARTERS. AND THAT WE USED TO MAKE STUFF TOGETHER. OUR PAINTINGS WHERE AHEAD OF THEIR TIME, I REALIZED THAT LOOKING AT OUR LAST INSTALLATION. I THINK WE COULD AND SHOULD START THINKING OF WORK WE COULD MAKE TOGETHER AGAIN. WE REALLY CHALLENGED PEOPLE WITH OUR SHIT. WORKING WITH SO MANY PEOPLE ON ONE THING IS STUPID AND HARD AND IMPRACTICAL, WHICH IS WHY IT WAS AWESOME THAT WE DID IT. I ALWAYS HAVE IDEAS FOR PSYCHICFRIENDS PROJECTS. LETS DAM UP A WATERFALL WITH OUR BODIES. OR START AN ALL TOY KEYBOARD BAND. OR MAKE A FASHION LINE. LETS MAKE A ZINE OF CELLPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY. LETS WRITE AN ESSAY TOGETHER, OR WRITE A SERIES OF ESSAYS ABOUT ONE TOPIC AND PUBLISH IT. LETS START ROLLING DEEP AGAIN. I THINK 2011-2012 COULD BE THE REALEST TIME FOR PSYCHIC FRIENDS. IF WE PUT OUR MINDS TO IT. WHEN IS THE NEXT TIME ALL OF US/WHOEVER HASENT MOVED TO ANOTHER CITY, WILL WHEN YOU BE BACK IN BALTIMORE AND READY TO START? LETS HAVE A MEETING WHERE WE DRINK BEER AND EAT CHIPS AND SALSA. <3 (N)

Update

Hey guys!

I just wanted to update everyone on a few projects going on right now. With the weather being what it is it would have been difficult for us all to meet last weekend but if anyone is down for meeting up I would be more than happy to walk through the snow. There are a few collaborations going on which I think are going to be pretty cool.

Currently Ben and I are working on a project exploring our own egocentricity/narcissism/exhibitionism. We have a game that we are playing that has manifested itself in the form of a blog, deixis.tumblr.com. There is also photo series where we have document each time we see each other, be it by chance or a planned meeting. This series will culminate in a news spread of some sort, we aim to show the series in Open Space's print show. Hopefully this collaborative will culminate in a show of sorts once we have a larger body of work.

Today, Zack and I are going to be working on two videos involving a metronome. We hope to put together some sort of dvd or digital compilation involving these pieces and invite others to work on something involving a metronome as well, or just addressing the passing of time in general.

Finally, if you haven't heard, Margo is working on a proposal for a show which would be installed in the Middendorf gallery. The show would potentially include works by Peggy, Nick, Lauren and I, and we have all been discussing with her similar threads between all of our work. The show seems to revolve around ideas of the domestic and the mundane at first, but the works she proposes to exhibit work together to reveal another level of understanding, that we haven't exactly been able to articulate yet. People should talk to Margo about it because the more we talk about it the easier it will be to articulate the idea to the jury (Kristine Woods and Valeska) and the more likely we'll get a show.

All this being said, I encourage everyone to get together even if its working on smaller things, or just talking about work like we always do! I know that we've been talking about doing some sort of split/collaborative zine stuff again and I think that now is the perfect time to get started on that while we're snowed in. Lets keep each other posted on things!

Happy blizzard everyone!

pinkard deinstall

So we were supposed to be out of the Pinkard space by December 18th, but we all forgot. She's giving us until January 8th before she takes all the work and throws it out. Who'll be around between now and then to help with deinstalling stuff? I'll be around starting Thursday. WHOWANTSTOHNGOUT?!

also, is anyone with a car going to be around before the 8th? it's going to be really hard to get the air chamber without a car...

I miss you all very much. Who's going to be around for new years?

calendar zines

hey, did we ever print more calendar zines? I would really like a copy (even if it doesn't have the screenprinted cover. I just need a calendar for 2010).

also, I hope we're gonna start shit up again next semester. I know this semester/the show was draining, but we should perhaps think about doing some sort of simple zine during or soon after break, just so we don't forget about psychic friends!!!!

I can't wait to be back in baltimore you guysss! let's get some fucking beer and pizza when I'm back!

Hey you guuuuys
So are we doing a performance this Saturday?
If we can we should because isn't this show going down soon?
Or perhaps we could just have a little closing thing and have like all the performances then? (Hot boxing, cellphone performance, and whatever else...) to go out with a big bang?

Come on guys lets not fizzle out at the end of the semester let's follow through with our plans!
