Hi Everyone,
A few logistical practicalities and strategii before moving forward...
Due to reality I have attached a "responsibility waiver" for each of you to sign (in ink) and return to us by mail. I will need 2 copies of this document -- one for RIDER records and 1 for SAIC. Please sign and mail to

I am also asking artists to designate their exhibited artwork as an a.i.R. artwork. The ad infinitum Rider (a.i.R) has been embedded in the RIDER Project for the last 4 years and I am pushing the idea further forward.
I will speak about the a.i.R. when i am at SAIC and you can read about it on art-anon.org. The idea is experimental and I am interested in feedback about it. But I am also requiring that you designate your Emerald City artwork as an a.i.R work.
Your participation in the a.i.R. -- with others around the country -- could have an effect and create change. Your postion as young, emerging artists -- the truest green in our reality -- embodies an enormous amount of potential. At the start of the 21st century, a new millennium, our (planetary) culture is changing at an enormous pace. We are living in an exciting time to be an artist, and you are the future.
The a.i.R. addresses our global commons (which includes space) from a theoretical, conceptual art, economic viewpoint, and the theory is still developing. It is very young and experimental. The hope of the a.i.R. is to change artists' reality, subversively if need be. (The connections between art and everyday reality are also relevant) Collective action can change things, and if nothing else an active consideration of whether "positive social change" is possible, is valuable.
I'm not going to focus on political issues, but will say that there was a time on our planet when the concept of owning land was unknown, even considered ridiculous.
Today we buy water, our air and oceans are polluted, and our 'global commons' are being monopolized.

So ... please write, burn, etch or in anyway mark your work with the letters a-i-R. Place them in/on your work, or hide them in your participating artwork. I will not check. But I am asking for your participation in this experimental, theoretical idea. It could be the heart and meaning of the RIDER Project.

If you are still interested in moving forward with Emerald City, please send us an email saying "yeah man, lets do it," or some such, and pop your signed waivers into the mail!
Hope to hear from you!
