C’ood Goes to Grand Rapids for ArtPrize
how cool is that!!
We need Michigan T-shirts to make the project happen
like clean out your closets, then…

It’s Party Time!
at Downtown Home & Garden
210 S. Ashley St., Ann Arbor
Saturday, July 31
6 to 8p.m.

Entrance Fee: A Michigan T-shirt that says “Michigan” or the name of a city or town in Michigan somewhere on the shirt. Or $5. Or wine or beer!!

Volunteer to HELP at the party and get a FREE (brand new!) C’ood T-shirt. Email me to sign up by Thursday.

What is this “C’ood” you might ask. Here’s the scoop.

C’ood Fact Sheet

Who: Ann Arbor artist Margaret Parker has organized a community effort to make a participatory art project. Parker is a member of Arts Alliance, Art Walk, and is on the Ann Arbor Public Art Commission. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally over the last 30 years. She and her husband, Mark Hodesh, own Downtown Home & Garden; her studio is above the store. See her work at:www.margaretparkerstudio.com <http://www.margaretparkerstudio.com>  <http://www.margaretparkerstudio.com/> .

What: The art project, C’ood: a democracy experiment, is about searching for the common good. It’s a circular tunnel with an open central space that viewers walk through. The support structure is woven with T-shirts donated from around Michigan. The project invites the whole community to participate in making a piece that has been given major recognition. We need to raise $15,000 to build, weave, ship and install the piece in Grand Rapids.

Where: The piece has been selected for ArtPrize in Grand Rapids this September. ArtPrize fills the center of downtown Grand Rapids with art from all over the world and generates tremendous publicity by offering prizes of up to $250,000. Last year 400,000 people came to the event filling Grand Rapids for the 3 week show. C’ood will have a prime sight at Calder Plaza, right in the center of downtown. It was selected for this prestigious sight by Frederik Meijer Gardens. For more information visit: www.artprize.org <http://www.artprize.org>  <http://www.artprize.org/> .

Why: This piece is about searching for the common good and the process of building it is where the search begins. When you donate a T-shirt from Michigan, help build the structure,  cut the T-shirts and weave them, donate supplies or building space, OR GIVE FUNDS IN ANY AMOUNT, you participate in making the artwork and in working towards a common good.

When: Time is short. The installation date is September 14, the show will open September 22 and run through October 10. It will be built in Ann Arbor using local businesses and suppliers then shipped to Grand Rapids for installation. There it will generate lots of attention for Ann Arbor. See you all in Grand Rapids!

If you can’t make it to the party, you can still mail or drop off a Michigan T-shirt to:
Margaret Parker, 210 S. Ashley St., Ann Arbor, MI. 48104

Thanks and see you Saturday,
Margaret

UNVEILED VIEWS

“Weaves a beautiful tapestry of the lives of [these] Muslim women…Their determination and lack of bitterness against the forces of opposition inspires hope in all of us.”
-Dr. Laila Al-Marayati, M.D., Spokesperson, Muslim Women’s League

In UNVEILED VIEWS <http://bit.ly/UnveiledViewsWMM> five extraordinary women talk about their occupations, aspirations, and the rights and status of women in their Muslim countries. Bosnian Alma Suljevic risks her life daily clearing the landmines near Sarajevo that are war’s deadly legacy, then sells minefield earth in European art galleries so that she can continue her work. Eren Keskin, a longtime human rights activist and lawyer with music conservatory training, fights to change Turkey’s legal practices that perpetuate violence against women. In UNVEILED VIEWS <http://bit.ly/UnveiledViewsWMM> veteran filmmaker, Rakshan Bani-Ehmad, true to her credo that art must “look, observe, and discover,” frequently pushes Iran’s censorship rules to the limit. Surrounded by conflict since childhood, young Afghani writer Moshagan Saadat creates brave, profoundly moving and memorable poems. And renowned Pakistani dancer Nahid Siddiqui, once forced to live outside her homeland when her work was banned, continues to perfect, renew, and teach her art form. Captured by Spanish filmmaker Alba Sotorra, who hitchhiked from Barcelona to Pakistan to shoot Unveiled Views, these self-portraits of hope, heroism, and pride challenge conventional Western stereotypes about women in the Islamic world.
