Dear friends and collaborators,

since Tuesday's events, Elisabeth and I have not heard from all of you yet.

As I could not come to New York from Chicago this weekend, I am making

the work that I had planned to place in the gallery today available on this web site.

Please click here to see a graphic showing six diagrams.

The critters are a group of diagrams of thoughts on cooperation and related subjects that

I extracted from books by several authors.

I intended the piece to be something akin of an apparatus for the show.

I hope to see you at the reception next Saturday.

last Tuesday two of the artists who participated in a fusion event in
Chicago in 2000, Arthur Myer and Shuko Wada, called from Japan, where
Shuko currently is a resident at the Kitakyushu Center for Contemporary Art

Wanting to create a connection to New York, they and other artists are
attempting to create a "mirror" fusion event in Japan that is linked to
the Fusion at 450 Broadway, by reacting to the work being done there.

They were able to get a space and started to work yesterday, reacting to a
description of the work Elisabeth created in the gallery.They may also be able to create a website.

They would love to get brief messages from you as you add your work to the
exhibition.

Hi, we wanted to introduce ourselves and describe a bit what's going on
here. After Arthur Myer`s conversation with Adelheid a on September 11, we
have been organizing a similar project here in Kitakyushu, Japan. This city
is on the North end of the Southern island of the main group of Japanese
islands, called Kyushu (Kita means North).

Our original call was simply to make contact with our friends back home
during the unbelievable events of that day, but it has led to this effort to
collaborate across the globe.

We have nine people participating including ourselves. Shuko Wada "seeded"
the space with large white folded paper cranes laid out in a circle facing
inwards in reaction to Elizabeth Condon`s newspaper flowers.

Diverging from the system in place in New York City, we are allowing any
participant to enter at any time to make additions or changes. They sign
their name and the date and time and the activity. We have posted all the
New York Show descriptions, as well as your emails at the entrance to the
space. Adelheid`s idea critters have been printed out and pinned up in the
space as the first image teleportation from there to here.

We are taking photographs, and intend to send those out as soon as possible.
As Adelheid wrote, we hope to put up a simple web page.

In the meantime, we look forward to hearing about developments at your end.
Please don't hesitate to write, or send an image or anything.
At this point, our most stable email address is the following:
myerwada@ag.wakwak.com

Take care. The trauma so close to your gallery and your lives is on our
minds every day.
