Hideous Beast invites you to participate in Uprising! – a project originally produced by artist group The Center For Tactical Magic in collaboration with Eva Strohmeier. On their website, http://www.tacticalmagic.org the project is described as follows:

“UPRISING! is a community kite-making project that invites participants to design and build their own kites with a message they wish to communicate from up high. This contemporary twist on the ancient practice of aeromancy (divining messages from the sky) encourages people to rise above the dark clouds hovering overhead by unleashing their own messages upon the heavens. This aerial display is a visible demonstration of democracy and a multitude of voices in these dark times.”

Build your own kites with messages for the multitudes! Materials and instructions will be provided. Uprising! is presented by Hideous Beast as part of Jennifer Delos Reyes’ project, Satellite Festivals (Be Longing) for Provflux 2008.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Hideous Beast (Josh Ippel and Charlie Roderick) will be traveling to San Jose, CA to participate in the Infinite Exchange Gallery and Free Soil Bus Tour in conjunction with the 2nd Biennial 01SJ Global Festival of Art on the Edge and Zero1 2008.

www.infiniteexchangegallery.com
www.futurefarmers.com/tour2/exchangecontent.html

We need a place to stay! We’re flying to San Francisco on June 4 and plan to fly out of SF on June 9, 2008. If you or someone you know could provide a bed, couch or floor for any or all of those nights (either in SF or San Jose) please let us know. We are very friendly and will cook food and do dishes too! Warning, we are also very energetic and might persuade you to have an ungodly amount of fun. This is by no means required.

Many thanks.

Regards,
Hideous Beast (Josh + Charlie)
