AN EMAIL
G,
yeah, it's brand new. it's a residency for women, and i'm not a woman, but i'm doing it through my friend who is a resident there, and who just left to tour japan. so, it's like me through her...
i will be exhibiting 15 sunsets. i am taking a bus from the gallery everyday of the show to palos verdes. it's like a 2-3 hour bus ride. then i'll get off at the last stop and walk to a cliff and watch the sunset. i will return by bus and put a photograph up on the wall. so, by the end of the show it will be 15 sunset photographs for everyday. but i am more interested in the actual sunset as the content of the show. like, i want people to think of the exhibit as me saying: "go to palos verdes and watch the sunset, that is the show." and since i am taking a public bus, if anyone chose to, they could ride with me. in the show will be this text piece on the wall with the growing photographs. also, as supplementary documents, there is a new newsprint i made, and an edition of 100 books. and maybe pinned on the wall some images and texts and other things that relate to the show. but i want my action and these sunsets to be the main content of it. i'm also having the window painted with the sunset times for the next two weeks so anyone driving by can see this information, and hopefully it will disrupt their daily routine, and maybe they will then spontaneously decide that they will go and watch the sunset.
there will be a closing, not an opening. more info soon.

p.s. I want to post this email on my blog. Are you OK if I do that? I am going to post it now, if you want me to take your name off, let me know and I will do it immediately. I just think I kind of summed up my thoughts on this show, so I will post it in email format.
p.p.s. Sunday and Monday I will be on a bus in the evening. Ha! But, I will be free in the morning/mid-day and at night.

Hi David,
Obviously I could not make it last night, had a going away party to attend. What are you plans for this weekend? Sunday and Monday are best for me.
I think I know the space, siteLA, it's new isn't it? Will there be an opening? What are you showing?
Hope all is well.
Talk to ya soon,
Gladys
