PURPOSE of CONECTA08

The purpose of Conecta 08 is to give emerging artists from Sinaloa, Mexico and Baltimore/Washington D.C. the unique opportunity to collaborate in the creation of original artworks for display, as well as forge lasting international professional associations. The artists chosen for the program are made up mostly of artists under-35 years of age and with limited gallery representation. This will be the first time these artists will work together in an artistic collaborative effort.

I am pleased to say this is the first year for Conecta 08, and we hope to continue the program for years to come, creating a biennial program. Making it possible for U.S. and Mexican emerging artists to collaborate and develop international associations—a necessity for any artist working today.

I would like to begin a conversation about the development or structure of this exhibition. I want everyone to contribute their ideas to this project.
1. How do you think the day to day collaboration should be designed?
2. What materials should be on hand for you all to use?
3. How can we incorporate the students into the process --those that might visit the gallery?
4. What are your expectations???? What is your purpose??

Juan or Bernardo (our bilinguals) please try to write in spanish and english, when you can.
