Ok, I have given this a lot of thought and here it is.
1. I think that it should be sort of like a treasure hunt; we start of with specific things and we go out and look for more. We then come back and make art, maybe one day of just doing things and looking at stuff, and then a day of art making, then a day of doing things and then art making. I think that we should be reactive! I have never really collaborated, so I am a little nervous about it. All I know is that it would be nice to just hang out with people then go and make art, instead of just trying to make art.
2. Traditional materials on the first day of making art, but maybe we have to go out and get something meaningful or different every night to expand the materials.
3. I think the students should be incorporated from day 1, I think they can help by giving their opinions and maybe even help with actualizing a piece, I don't know I'm just thinking out loud.
4. I have no expectations except to work with new artists who may have a very different view than myself. My purpose is to get outside of what I'm comfortable with, to discover someone else's vision.
Sorry that I just answered your questioned directly maybe I can come up with something more later.

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.

The Union Gallery is a non-profit venue and therefore artworks on display are not for sale. The exhibition will be on display for four weeks after the completion of the program.
