Wait and see :)
Hello everyone,
Just to say thank you for submitting all your proposals and that a meeting will be arranged in the next few weeks to consolidate ideas, some of you may have already had emails about colaborating with other artists as with a few ideas it noticeably stood out that they would amalgamate well. With the ideas submitted it would be great to make the show as a whole a form of large colaboration; each standalone piece creating part of an entire scene.
The meeting should provide a good opportunity to work out elements of colaboration and consolidate ideas, please let me know of any dates that you are unavailable to help me organise the most suitable time for everyone.
Thank you,
Thom.

Description of the project:
For this new large-scale project staged in the surroundings of Tate Modern, the artist Katerina Šedá has invited 80 people from the small village of Bedrichovice in the Czech Republic to London. By asking the villagers to re-enact their everyday actions in this alien environment, Šedá aims to explore the conventions and behaviour that unify and divide these two disparate places.
Katerina Šedá was born in 1977 in Brno, Czech Republic. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and the School of Applied Arts in Brno. Šedá has exhibited widely in several group exhibitions, including this year’s Venice Biennale, at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels and Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Turin (2011) and recently had solo-shows at Cubitt Gallery, London, Kunstlerhaus Bremen and Museums Sheffield.

Proposal
Amie Cooper
Brief 2 proposal
I would like to present a collection of car/automobile themed postcards that have been found and sent back to their original owners, with a response of how it felt to receive the postcard again and the story of the car pictured. I would present them scattered on a wall including the responses which could be email, letter or phone conversation.
I am also a keen photographer and would like to include in the exhibit a series of photographs of abandoned cars around Liverpool as I think this is a theme related to the postcards but also to the exhibit environment.

"Abandond"
I will begin the next project by collecting more postcards but concentrate on collections of cars ! I will send them back to their original owners with a letter asking if the image on the front of the postcard (some sort of car!) meant to them and why that postcard was chosen ! I aim to send about 150 postcards in a hope to get enough responses for Willow Gallery exhibit .
As the postcards will be a theme for the exhibit I hope to take my work further by adding photos of abandond cars from around the North west .

For the willow art project exhibition I am going to visit some galleries in Liverpool for inspiration and scrap and junk yards and take loads of videos and photo's . This exhibit is testing my creativity as I have not worked towards a brief in 3 years !!
