- Item 1: Publication
We discuss progress on the lagacy publication. Its been slow, and the deadline for content is the end of October 2010
Neil has assembled all the meeting minutes, Barcamp, lecture and research descriptions to form a research timeline here
Are they interesting - ?
Neil thinks so, they are a record of the development of the PARADE project. Material usually obscured, but our wiki is able to archive.
There is a suggestion that they make 10/15% of the publication - 20 pages
We discuss each stall being invited to use 2 pages to represent themselves - 66 pages
The architects will be offered 6 pages, for the plans, typologies, etc
We discuss a structure, something like: Research, PARADE and then critical reflection
It should be very visual.......
How to represent the Barcamp ? Because they resist 'capture'
We discuss a Glossary of key terms. Each person would be asked to write on 3/4 key terms. About 200 words each entry
Marsha is excited by pictures and captions.
We discuss the idea of a 'Manual': recording process, reflection and projection
- Note: for Market Participants
You have 2 pages in a book 225 x 160mm
All materials submitted by 15th of October
Paper print quality images - 300 DPI
Around 2-4 pictures, and/or texts 3000 characters max.
Include all captions and credits for visual materials.
All will be published under CC licence (it's a Critical Practice policy).
Actions
- Neil to chase Architects for visual representations of the process, and to edit the research material down into a fascinating account of the process (this will happen initially off-line and then re-posted for collective contributions)
- Marsha to invite all the Market participants to send their contributions by the 15th October
- Kuba to coordinate polish participants contributions
- Metod start playing with some design and graphic representations, and when we confirm the designer, try and collaborate.
- Item 2: Matadero/Ranchito/Intermediae
El Ranchito is a cultural experiment launched by Matadero Madrid in collaboration with other artistic agents of the city. Constructed as a research project, it is conformed by three different areas: reflection, a residency programme and a public presentation. We have been asked to contribute to El Ranchito, (PARADE has been an inspiration) we are able to spend a months residency in Madrid (maybe not all of us, maybe not all at the same time, and maybe the month can be broken into smaller visits) make a proposal, and if accepted participate in an event in May 2011.
We agree that we would like to collaborate with Intermediae.
We agree that the first time we can visit is after the 14th of November. We propose to visit once then (or soon after) and again early in the new year.
Actions
- Neil to liaise with Ranchito, see if our suggestions are possible and the availability of accommodation.

We had no time to discuss this, and it is early days anyway.
