[dcw] Call for Volunteers -- Halloween Mask Project

August 28, 2013

Hi gang --

OK, this Friday (08/30/13) isn't so good for the Halloween mask project.

---> So, a quick question: How about a day sooner: Thursday, 08/29/13, at 7 pm at the space?

 I can't make it this Friday (in Southern
 California for a memorial service) but you folks should go
 ahead and meet if it works for everyone else.

 Hi gang --

 Hurrah -- it's great to see email flying about
 this!

 Let's try to find a common time to meet at the space to
 talk about it and see what I have done so far (even if
 that's just eviscerating a helpless toaster...).

 How about this Friday evening at the space, around 7 pm?

  So my
  understanding is that we wanted to make swappable
 molds of a
  couple of masks (actually, that the system would stay
 in the
  space to be used by anyone who feels like making molds
 for
  anything, not just masks).

  It was suggested that we do this at the Dia De Los
  Muertos celebration in the E St. Plaza that the DDBA
 is
  holding on Halloween.  We also have the
 opportunity to run
  something for "Artober" although I don't
 know
  which dates are still available.

  Ultimately it would be nice to have the machine
  available at the space - and this is a fire under our
 feet
  to get it done!  I hadn't committed to the
 Dia De Los
  Muertos event yet, but if there is sufficient interest
 here,
  and it sounds like there is, maybe I will do that if
  nobody
  objects.

  I just finished another mask and
  would be up for doing yet another for this
 project.  Would
  we have the ability to have multiple molds to swap in
 an
  out? If so it would be cool to have a few people
  contributing mask designs.

  Also what is the timeline for this?   I
 have
  lots going on next month.  If we are shooting
 for
  Halloween, that would be doable for me, but I vaugely
  remember something about earlier October on this
 (which
  would be harder for me to do).  Plus I'm
 guessing there
  would need to be some
  time to get the mold prepared from
  the original piece.

  Nice.

  I'm going to try reaching out to the newly forming
 Third
  Space Art Collective to see if there is any interest
 in this
  project from their members.
