Hazem,
Hope all is well with the start of 2010, and you were/are inspired with your work.
I have been very busy with my design for the analemma, and today I had very good meeting/cosultation with a friend sculpture to talk about the possibilities for the analemma, and I showed him my latest ideas/models, which I am going to present on the 13th January for discussion/approval, and the whole piece should be ready in place at the start of June 2010! and it might need many hands to be there; design h, mathematical, surveyor (the location), stone carving or bronze, glass, plumping, electrical and of course the installation hands.
Tomorrow I am running a workshop for school teachers (so I’ll wear my theatre design hat!) the workshop is a collaboration between myself and a friend who is a theatre direcor.
As for IAA proposals, although details are going to be communicated at the end of January, we have option to submit number of individual and/or collaborative proposals (preferebly, triggered by our dialogue) and the research and development for this project is from Fab- May 2010.
I wonder if you feel putting one or more collaborative proposals? if so what do you think about the following subjects: rivers, places, childhood and/or borders? or maybe you have something you would like to explore collaboratively?
Let me know
P.S. Again, I tried to watch your documentary (Stone Bird) on this link:
