Mysterious Exhibit and So We Say (social art graffiti project)

This pinhole is on the balcony of Sol Y Sombra. We went here for a yelp.com party in July. Super excellent restaurant. There was a chicken dish that may have been the best chicken I’ve ever tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back!

I’m curating and exhibit in October at the Bragg’s Pie Factory. Last night I went to measure the space and found out I have more space than I thought. I also found out the show will be up for 2 months! That was really exciting! One month is not enough time. If you miss the opening you’ve missed the exhibit.

I’m a couchsurfer and belong to a few of their photography related groups. I recently found out about this social art project: So We Say It’s pretty rad and I’m definitely going to participate. Here’s what Larry had to say about the project.

I’ve had an idea in my head for a long time about temporary graffiti using post-it notes and after talking to a few people I’ve finally set it all in motion. I then thought this would be a great place to bring it as I know how creative everyone is on here.

It’s called “So We Say”. Anyone can take part. All you need is a pad of standard yellow (or any other colour) post-it notes. You write down your favourite quote, lyric, personal thought (absolutely anything!)and you can include a little doodle. It can be in any language. You rip it off the pad and stick it in a public place (bus window, shop door, cash point, on a library book…anywhere that someone will find it!). If you can, get a photo of it quickly. I realise this is hard, but a camera phone/small camera is useful.

I’d love to get loads of people involved around the world, and get post-its on landmarks etc.

The idea is that its all temporary. It can blow away in the wind, or have the message ruined by rain, or someone can simply take it or chuck it in the bin. All to establish that moment of connection between a complete stranger and the message that you have written.

Can everyone tell the NEW TIMES that I should win an award? I’d be most grateful!

If you fill out their online survey, the very last line, line 107, allows you to write in your favorite whatever they forgot. That would be awesome, thanks! Here’s a direct link: http://phoenixnewtimes.com/polls/bestof08/
