Sorry--this came too late to report at our meeting. Miriam >From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: [vtjp-media] Meeting of MIP Exhibit Coordinating Committee, >August 27, 1 p.m. >Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2005 16:26:48 -0400 > >Miriam, > >Because of a work emergency, I will not be able to attend tonight's >meeting. Please give my best to all, and communicate the following to the >gang on the progress of the exhibition: > >* I will be hosting in Montpelier, this Thursday through Sunday, Rosalinda >Gonzalez from The Station Gallery in Texas. She and I will be meet with >the Wood Gallery people on Friday and Saturday, and she will be coming to >our group meeting on Sunday, the 18th. (Miriam, please ask someone from >the coordinating committee--Kris, Mousa, Nina, Miriam or Jean--if we are >meeting at Monica's house on Sunday, and at what time, and let me know what >they say. I can't read my writing in my calendar. Sorry.) Rosalinda and I >will work out the remaining details around transportation, storage, set-up, >and break down of the exhibition. (Our comrades in NYC have definitively >set up March for their opening.) > >* Nina is working on a postcard to mail to folks advertising the >exhibition. I e-mailed her the text last week, and Rosalinda was to send >her some images. I don't know what the status of the card is. (Please >check with Nina and tell her to contact me as soon as possible.) Our hope >had been to have the cards done and printed by the 18th, this Sunday, and >we were gathering to have a mailing party. If the cards can not be done by >then, we still need to meet, because Rosalinda wants to meet the entire >committee and some issues have come up that I need to talk to the group >about. So, bottom line, if the postcards are ready or not, we must meet >this Sunday. If the card is ready to be printed, someone needs to find a >printer and get them printed fast so they are available on the 18th. >Please work out the financial implications of this with Bill. I think we >said we would do a first run printing of 300. > >* I have confirmed all the speakers for the public forums, which I am >calling, "Image and Reality." There are some cost issues that I need to >talk about with the group, however. > >* I have completed a draft of the poster for Nina to polish, but my >computer broke down and I can't get to it at the moment. I hope to gain >access to it by tomorrow, and I will forward it to Nina. > >* I don't know how much money the P&J Center has received recently in the >wake of Jamie's advertisement of the exhibition on the website. It would >be helpful soon to know if new revenues have come in, as I am now nearing >completion of a budget for Bill. I also want to mail books out to anyone >who gave $50 or more. 18 books to date have been mailed, and each book >sold has brought in, on average, $65.00. > >Other Matters... > >Salaam Shalom: I am interviewing Bishop Tom Ely this week, the 15th, for >airing on the 22nd. The film "Beyond the Mirage: The Face of the >Occupation" is showing this week. > >I sent a letter to the Times Argus two weeks ago on the Gaza evacuation--it >has not appeared as yet. > >My workshop on Saturday went reasonably well, except that S'ra was unable >to be there because of an emergency, and I certainly could not substitute >for the visual and narrrative part of her presentation. It also started 25 >minutes late because the workshop before me lost track of the time, and >there were technical problems. > >I gave a history of the Wall--via powerpoint--and, while it was well >received and helped to disabuse some in the audience of certain >preconceived notions, it is plain that even intelligent people who are >sympathetic to us have a very hard time disabusing themselves of the idea >that the Wall is being built for security reasons. Overall, it was a good >experience and instructive--I would do it differently the next time based >on what I experienced. There were two Israelis (or perhaps they were >American Jews who have lived in Israel) who atended. One lasted the whole >time and was far more open minded than I expected. The other, a young >woman, left in a huff after I described for the audience the destruction of >the Mograhbi neighborhood in East Jerusalem in 1967, to widen the courtyard >to the Wailing Wall. Between 650 and 1,000 Palestinians were driven out of >their homes, which were bulldozed. The young woman claimed that could not >have happened, because the area is too small to support so many homes. She >got so angry she left. I told her before she departed that I would be >happy to send documentation to her. Instead, I sent her companion a >detailed description of the destruction of Mograhbi later that night which >had been written by Donald Neff and David Hirst. > >Okay, my friends, hope you are well. Sorry to have missed the meeting. > >Mark > >-----Original Message----- >From: Miriam Ward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 1:05 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: [vtjp-media] Meeting of MIP Exhibit Coordinating Committee, >August 27, 1 p.m. > > >Mark--I probably will not get to the meeting Saturday, but will definitely >want to help out on the upcoming art exhibit.
