(not really adding to the discussion and yet not detracting from it >either ;) exactly the 2 names i was looking for! for me the cigar box, or another simple box is the best solution - a cheap, neutral container. but then again, we've done the box, which in itself leaned heavily on the fluxboxes .. i wonder if we could do a series of pieces over a period of time. each edition of editions could contain pieces of a similar sort. for example - edition1 - simple event texts edition2 - drawings edition3 - music based pieces (scores and / or recordings) etc there could be a general theme for each, which should be open to personal interpretation (obviously), and each participant should be encouraged to attempt something outside of their usual discipline. in this way everyone interested could participate in trying to produce pieces in a range of disciplines/styles etc, text/drwaing/painting/sound etc etc - and could interpret each in the way they wished. e.g. a painters 'painting' may be iol on canvas, yet a poet's painting may be something completely different yet qualifying as a painting by its given definition. (are you with me ? no? oh well!) with a series of collective 'semi-themed' (i.e all texts, all images etc) the containers could be more specific and for want of a better word 'obvious'. instructions on the classic index cards, drawings in a book, electronic media could still be incorporated through cds, website links also. just a thought cheers alan FreeformFreakout Organisation www.freeformfreakout.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] driven by apathy
