After increasing interest in the business concepts that have helped to shape Cultural Fusion i have decided i have no interest in writing a business plan. As we build our team we will attract someone who has a joy and talent for that, but that is not me.
Since this project is at its core defined by passion and personal development it makes sense to apply that insight here. Rather than attempting to refine the 3 page business plan concept overview i have now…i will instead write an allegory that represents the business concepts in the context of Cultural Fusion "art as philosophy".
This, obviously, is a something i can get considerably more excited about and already i have had offers from colleagues to share the story via their blogs!
It has also been suggested to me that i make use of the concept paper i had started last year. Actually, i wrote and submitted it to a contest i didn't win and i had plans to rewrite it but none of those efforts have yielded a document i'm any happier with. My original thinking had been that lack of a case study as a conclusion was the problem, but now i've decided to leave it open ended. I want to use some of the text for installation components. For example, a scrolling walkway with text displayed….i have become very interested in moving text lately so i have several ideas that revolve around that. It started with the text portions of Fusion Installatie Genesis. Now i'm working out an idea for travelling art that can be exhibited in real world context like in a traffic jam.
Another artist i've been talking with about this idea has developed trailer thing that can be hitched to a truck that would work for such an exhibition and he's very keen to explore how we can do this. I'd like to integrate some of this old text revisited with the new works.
After i complete the allegory for Cultural Fusion i plan to explore visual interpretations, including getting other artist to share their understanding of the story. Ideally, i will write a longer story after the 3 page project is completed to give me the foundation. If not a complete novel then a novella…a film and then a game. Fun stuff!!
