for our freedom years

I recently received and accepted an invitation to speak on 5 November at an exhibition entitled for our freedom years organised by two of my former students Gemma Donovan and Kerry Clark:

for our freedom years is a reaction to women's 'culture', to the idea that as women we share the same ideals, beliefs, ethos and problems, fundamentally the same identity. An identity that is expected and in many cases embraced by many females in mainstream society. We would like to invite you to give a talk at our exhibition in relation to themes addressed within the show and how they not only relate to your practice but your own positioning of yourself as a ‘modern’ woman. The event/talk can be given in any way you like, whether it be a performance or a seminar.

The the exhibition will run from 28 October to 11 November. The show will be held at Townhouse Gallery, an antique shop and gallery set within a Georgian house which we will take over. The show will also be a part of Photomonth and Time Outs First Thursdays.

Subject: Fwd: Chain Letter Group Show invitation

(forgive me for following the instructions -- i really don't know any thing about this)

Hi all,

I’ve been asked to participate in a group show this summer called Chain Letter.
As per the concept of this show, I am supposed to invite 10 artists
who I admire to also participate. You are one of my 10.

Below are the details from the curator. If you're in, go ahead and forward this invite to 10 artists
who you admire!


Begin forwarded message:
"Chain Letter" is a global group show wherein 10 artists have been
invited to participate. Those 10 then invite 10 artists that they
admire. Those 10 invite 10 more and so on. This cycle continues for 30
days.

The result is an exponentially massive, artist-curated group show
based entirely on admiration. We hope every admired artist on the
planet will be included in "Chain Letter" this summer.

How To:

1.The Protocol: Forward this invite to 10 artists you admire. Remember
to change the names (in red) at the top. 

2.Install and Opening: Works should be at Samsøn on July 13th. The
opening reception is on Saturday, July 16th from 5 to 8. Every
participating venue around the world will have their opening on the
same day as ours.

3.The De-install: All works will be returned or picked up.

*Please do not email your curator or venue. Everything you need to
know is here. Trust in the chain letter. Viva simplicity. You can view
our website below (takes a few seconds to load) to see where else Chain
Letter has traveled.Finally, if one of your ten artists cannot participate, go ahead and
invite another!
