Dear All,
1 I think there are already plenty symposia and event’s going on each year.
We never intended to ad another one, we wanted to challenge existing practice.
2 I believe it the professionalism of curators/event organisers. I dont think it
is "not much work to organise” this, or any event: it needs curatorial skills
and focus and an proper investment of time and communication. Su: if anybody knows
this, it is you!!!
3 If I remember correctly, the Pecha Kucha format used to be very protected.
One had to pay a licence in order to be able to use the format. (I just did
send them an email to find out if this still is the case) But in any way the
inventors must have felt that they had really invested in something by
developing it. This strengthens my feelings about point 2.
4 If invited, I would be happy to contribute to any relevant event in the
spirit of Juxtaposium.

hi esther and friends,
a quick response:
just do it! if you think, a juxtaposium is a great idea, try it out. why
do you need so called event-organisers to have this kind of event? the
people who invented the pecha kucha did not write an open letter, hey
just did it and it prooved itself to be a great format.
This is indeed true. I remember several people joking that pecha kucha would
fork and fragment before its third event. Pecha kucha is evidence that a little
openness and trust in the process can be the very glue that keeps a format
strong, engendering morale among audience and organisers alike as it grows.

It would be sad for your Juxtaposium experiment to suffer death by discussion.
Start small, go rouge, find out whether the idea (or your implementation of it)
holds water. You have plenty of knowledge to gain either way.
Cheers,
