* SUNDOWN SCHOOLHOUSE *
~ Fall 2006 Update & Projects For You ~
We are almost at the end of the first season of the Sundown  
Schoolhouse. {www.sundownschoolhouse.org} Nine students aged 19-31  
have been gathering in the dome on Sundown Drive every Tuesday from  
8am-8pm with some amazing artists, dancers, designers, planners,  
scientists & writers from Los Angeles and beyond. It has been an  
intense, illuminating, informative, inspiring and intimate adventure!

For spring 2007 the schoolhouse will be in session from the week of  
February 12th - April 30th. There will be a cap of nine students ages  
18 and up. The meeting day and teacher schedule will be announced  
shortly. Upcoming Sundown Schoolhouse projects will be presented this  
winter at the Whitney Museum in New York and the Institute for  
Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, more details on that soon.

In the mean time I am sending you descriptions of projects by a few  
of the current students. These require some response which will be  
published in their upcoming newspaper. Look them over, reply to one  
or all of them directly to each student. For more information on  
Sundown Schoolhouse you may contact info at sundownschoolhouse.org.

~ GREAT REWARD ~
For our final event on December 10th, 2006 we will be distributing  
our newspaper. It will include interviews, editorials, photo essays,  
advice columns and the like. My project for the paper is a sort of  
obituary column. I’m asking for people to tell me, “What have you  
lost?”  It can be your favorite black cashmere sweater, your  
passport, your virginity, or your dad. Also, please include your  
first name and your age. Send to msdishman at yahoo.com
~ SCOUT’S HONOR ~
I’m currently interested in the need to celebrate, honor, and  
remember via ritual.  I’m asking for people to write a brief  
description of their ritual that I will compile into a book. Your  
submission can be anonymous or not. It should also include:
1. your age
2. where you live
3. what your ritual entails
4. how often you perform your ritual
5. if/how it celebrates or honors something or someone
6. how long you have been performing your ritual
I’m excited to read and share these stories. In an attempt to cast a  
wide net, please forward this email to family and friends and co- 
workers of all ages. To be included in the book, please respond by  
December 1st, 2006. However, if you miss this deadline and still want  
to respond, please do. All contributors will receive information on  
how to obtain the book and my deep appreciation. Send to Send to  
msdishman at yahoo.com

~ ARTIST’S LOCAL UNION ~
I will be interviewing artist's assistants in their studios and work  
areas. I would like to use these interviews to publish into a  
magazine along with pictures of the artist assistant's art work along  
with pictures of other unexpected places and things. The magazines  
will be distributed amongst the assistant's and artists that they  
work for creating an artist's local union through the printed word.  
Are you an artists assistant? Contact odrigo at hotmail.com

~ COLD STORAGE ~
Cold Storage is ephemeral, with an unknown scope and imprecise  
function. Cold Storage was ignited out of an act of neighborly trust  
and incongruous generosity. Cold Storage is open to anyone with an  
idea to actualize, a desire for participatory exploration, and a  
willingness to fail. Visit www.RoutesAndMethods.org for details.
~ TEACH ME SOMETHING ~
Invitation for you to teach me... you have much to offer.
~ FARMER’S MARKETING ~
I am seeking new people to take to the farmer's markets of Los  
Angeles. We can shop for a week or shop for a big meal. We will talk  
and walk and taste and learn. This project will likely turn into a  
participatory lunch club after the Fall Session is over.
Contact mp at RoutesAndMethods.org if interested.

* Project by KATIE *
~ EVERYDAY MONSTER ~
Think about the role monsters play in human life.
When were your first notions of monsters formed?
Have they changed since your childhood?
Why are there accounts of ‘sasquatches’ in places all over the  
world?  Do you experience fear when thinking of monsters?
Are monsters phantasmagorical?
Can humans be monsters?
Have they been historically?
Will you draw me a monster?
