CLASSIC LETTERS. I’ve sent each of the artists I’m working with a letter asking them if they’d be up for working on a project with me and explaining what it’s all about and what my expectations are for it. I also sent them some reference images to get them thinking and a DVD full of stuff that I’ve looking at recently to help them understand the kinds of things we’re aiming towards. As well as a general letter, I sent each of them a specific one with some initial thoughts/ideas.  So What is it all about? The project, as well as being an experiment in collaboration, is about making something that means something, something that is important to both the artist and me. We will begin with having some conversations about the artists previous work, talking about any common themes that feature and talking about what is important to them. Then we’ll come up with some ideas of how we can translate those ideas into motion. Then I’ll make something that resembles a plan / story board and then i’ll put it all together.  It’s pretty simple really.
