Met Nicole on 10/02 and discussed about the best project/format for the presentation. I proposed a presentation of Fold and of my new project 452 Park Place (working title). I'd never presented Fold in the framework of the performance installation — but it was, after all, a finished piece of work. Nicole found my new project more interesting and perhaps could reap more benefits from the setup of the presentation. I felt the same way.

I have a feeling that talking about this piece of work and performing the first part would be a largely emotional experience. (I would probably feel the same degree of vulnerability as I did during Art Amsterdam). It is a source of discomfort, a space I am unlikely to enter without the construct (of the gallery, performance, art "enthusiasts".)

The decision (from her editorial direction and my own pervious thinking) came to this:

• forgo the presentation of Fold
• lead with the performance that evoke of the loss of home
• tell the audience about the project and its context
• ask the audience to draw something that reminds them of their home, however they define it

The performance itself:

• Read the list of neighborhoods in Brooklyn, NY by alphabet. [1]

Next to finish thinking:

• meet Nicole at 2pm, 13/02 @ Garage (to see the space) -- QUESTION: can I make an announcement that my segment will be filmed? And those who do not consent to be in the film will sit in the outer rows?
• decide on the components of the performance (which space, is there any visual)
• what is my pitch after the performance? How do I keep a genuine tone while withholding the intimacy?
• what props do i bring for the drawing exercise?
• what after?
