For the last
two years Dynamite has been interested in making connections with
collaborative groups in order to learn from their experiences, observe
other working models, exchange ideas and share resources. Potential
Energy continues this interest. Over the course of our time working
together, we have seen numerous ideas (our own and other's) that
have never been realized. For one reason or another – time
constraints, the laws of physics, lack of resources, or utter infeasibility
– many projects and ideas are discarded, unrealized or implausible.
Potential Energy will consist of a collection of these unrealized
projects from a number of collaborative groups. Each participant
will design an image and/or text illustrating a project they have
been unable to complete. These designs will be in greyscale on 8.5x11"
or A4 paper. The images will be collected, reproduced and packaged
and a unit containing all the designs will be sent to each participant.
Each group is encouraged to display this set of images in a space
of their choosing.
In addition to these impromptu exhibitions, a series of core events
are being planned to display the project in Grand Rapids, MI, Chicago,
IL, Philadelphia, PA, and Portland, OR. In order to facilitate exhibition,
each design may be enlarged to poster size using a black and white
plotter printer (found at most copy shops) or using another enlarging
method.
Participants are encouraged to engage one another in discussion
on Dynamite's Potential Energy webboard, share ideas, coordinate
exhibitions, see images of past events, and build connections with
other groups. We hope this project will result in greater understanding
of collaborative working models and expose a broader audience to
groups working around the world. We imagine this could also result
in new connections between groups and possibly inter-group collaboration.
Please visit this site again in the next few months for dates of
local exhibitions/events as well as discussions on our future web
board. Please send us questions, comments or recommend a group you
work with or know of for Potential Energy. We will continue to take
submissions until the last scheduled exhibition.
