Respect the Boss Implied Violence 2010-06-09T16:31:24Z WordPress http://impliedviolence.com/blog/feed/atom/ The Boss <![CDATA[Trials and Tribulations]]> http://impliedviolence.com/blog/?p=249 2010-06-09T16:31:24Z 2010-06-09T16:31:09Z 8th June MMX

After long, rewarding, and tumultuous travels; volcanic ash clouds, changes in the pitching line-up, batting order, and field position; Implied Violence has returned to fair Seattle. Battered, not broken, bruised, not scarred.

After an amazing trip to The Donau Festival, Implied Violence has returned all 26 local artists from all mediums safely back to the city which each proudly call home! With the world watching we begin again. Again and again, never stopping only quickening our pace. Already we are deep in the process of presenting not one, but two performance installations at The Frye Art Museum, as well as an exhibition at the Frye in October! Already we have begun conceiving new, ambitious, difficult, and perhaps debilitating projects.

And Still.

Still, our shipping container sits in Viennese Purgatory. It is trapped. Our shipping container is full of odds and ends, fiddle and faddle. A dress with 2,200 hand sewn bows here (Designed by Anna Telcs, Manufactured by Mark Mitchell), A Kinetic Claw Sculpture with a 16′ circumference there (Designed and built by Casey Curran). Found sculptural objects by NKO, wax blocks shot through with arrows and shirts soaked with Zac Pennington’s blood.

We desperately need this container back in Seattle.

Humbly we ask for your help.

Donations small and smaller or large and larger. We need them as we need our shipping container, as we need our heart. In return, we can only offer up ourselves. Postcards, books, words, images, and artifacts. Our friends and enemies for the first time ever you can invest in and take away a piece of this company! View the selections at http://www.firstgiving.com/impliedviolence, and make your donation there as well. We thank you with the fullest of hearts and the strongest of handshakes.

Yours Ever,
Implied Violence

Our dreaded container

After our return from Vienna, we have found ourselves swimming in debt. Due in large part to the monstrosity you see above.  This morning I received an e-mail from Parenthetical Girls asking if their flights from Vienna to London were canceled due to a British Airways strike.  They were.  After speaking with American Airlines for an hour it was made clear that I should wait until this evening to try and re-book their flights home. I was told that other airlines will honor their tickets but not until 5 days before their scheduled departure.  They are patiently waiting. 

Perhaps we are just meat for the hungry, ravenous dogs? 

No, no, not so. So, so.

We are mounting a counter attack. A plan to re-organize and we have friends.  The Lawrimore Project, The Byrd Hoffman Foundation,  The Frye Art Museum, and the amazing Miss Ari Spool are all doing their part. These things are still in the works but be on the look out for an art auction, book sell off, re-organized training and rehearsal sessions,  open rehearsals, and late night dinner discussions.

Here are a few photos taken by the illustrious Steven Miller of The Dorothy K. our collaboration with The Parenthetical Girls.  Please forgive the snails pace with which I posted these photos. Implied Violence is very proud to have participated in The Donau Festival. We brought  26 Artists from Seattle, Portland, and New Jersey and were gifted the opportunity to work with an incredible chamber orchestra from Vienna. There are so many more photos to post and people to thank. For now I will just say that it was an honor and pleasure to work with everyone involved. I am still feeling a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing.
