a way of sharing POSITIVE energy with the

parisian contribution for the Work In Progress show 2009 at the RCA

dear rca students,
Here in paris, we have been really impressed
and charmed by what we have seen on manystuff
about the W.I.P. show. There seems to be
a real energy, and we love the pressroom idea!
as you asked for external contributions
yesterday (via Charlotte), we were hopping
that you would be interested in proceeding
this idea of showing, sharing and experimenting
with others what’s happening in a school where
students make things and think. That we could
help you and suggest some content.
we thought about a kind of correspondence where
we could share with you ideas, culture, wishes,
experiences and knowledges, which could begin
from now.
as you will think about the “forward”, we
want to suggest, if this idea is close to your
expectation, to create a “parallel school”
made by students from all over the world.
this could take place on the internet and eventually
be printed, to continue the work you have begun.
Eveything is possible.
this project could create oportunities for
all of us to travel, organise meetings or
maybe workshops or collaborations and will
perhaps link diferent schools and students
from london to paris, from amsterdam to zurich...
tell us your ideas and thoughts about what you
would like to do with that, if you are
interested in, things you agree or not. How
you want to think forward this W.I.P. pressroom.
Thanks a lot for your consideration,
best wishes from paris.
