At first my idea was:
There'll be one opening reception with all of the components in one space followed by a touring Event:Exhibition made up of seperate Event:Exhibitions of individual pieces or groupings in other galleries or spaces before they are sold to benefit charitible causes as well as the Art:Artists.
The idea has evolved and become a more clear vision:
The Installation concept features a giant pendulum (6ft wide) based on Anita's bowl...see the (emerging) concept map here. At first i thought this would be the starting point for the Project:what-is-peace Event for this year \"Another Little Peace 2007\" (click core interest), now i realize that the full Installation will come together at the end of the 2007/2008 tour as each piece emerges to reveal the whole.
Fusion Installatie Genesis: Was sparked by this image (scroll down to view) - 002eivorm eerste schaal by Humanity:Anita_Prinsen
eivorm = eggshape eerste = first schaal = bowl
The first Installation Project of this Cultural_Fusion:Group was conceived and shared with Ron as the opening of a new Attention:Dialogue series that follows the image below.

Hi Ron
i'm saving our old chat history into a file and realized it goes all the way back to March!
i just got an idea for what may be my first Installation
and the first bit that came to me were Anita's bowls
it starts with a HUGE version of one of her bowls, i saw it in red, but that may change....
Really massive and suspended near the entry point
it's positioned so that when someone enters they feel like they have to duck down to the side to avoid it
and this pushes them off of a path that leads in from the building doorway
made to look like a road of golden bricks
so when they duck to avoid the bowl which needs to move a little bit, like a pendulum
the person finds themselves on another path
this path is made of glass and words
i think of those clear teleprompters
only on the floor and strong enough to be walked on
so the words are from
chats, text at the development site, maybe something else that gets written between now and then
and along the way there are the sections where there is nothing but the words
and then it opens up to a section with several screen monitors
the starting images are paintings...i'm thinking Irena's icon type images or even other subjects done in that traditional style used for religious icons
and then the painting on the screen
turns into chunks of a puzzle
which turn into tiny bits that start to act as fractals
each screen has a different image
the text on the floor for this bit
comes from the dialogue we had the other day

forgiveness is to let go of all hopes for a better past
:)
Yvette Dubel: 12:05:21
Yvette Dubel: 12:05:28
Ronald Wopereis: 12:05:50
to forgive is a totally egoistic act
Ronald Wopereis: 12:06:02
an act of freeing one self
Yvette Dubel: 12:06:17
Yvette Dubel: 12:07:48
Ronald Wopereis: 12:09:24
in avatar there is a source list ;
Ronald Wopereis: 12:09:25
#1 is : i am happy to be me
Yvette Dubel: 12:10:13
yes...i'm feeling quite happy to be me
Ronald Wopereis: 12:12:28
there is also a reality list
Ronald Wopereis: 12:12:41
where you alter perspectives
Ronald Wopereis: 12:13:07
like #xx is : there are no limits to what i can achieve
Ronald Wopereis: 12:13:14
and then, when you really feel this,
Ronald Wopereis: 12:13:19
Ronald Wopereis: 12:13:32
#xx + 1 : there are definitely limits to what i can achieve
Ronald Wopereis: 12:13:37
Ronald Wopereis: 12:13:39
Yvette Dubel: 12:13:56
Ronald Wopereis: 12:14:12
it is attention muscle exercise
Ronald Wopereis: 12:14:15
Yvette Dubel: 12:14:25
Ronald Wopereis: 12:14:27
hey, maybe you want to become an Avatar master,
Ronald Wopereis: 12:14:33
and deliver Avatar in Vegas ?
Yvette Dubel: 12:14:43
Yvette Dubel: 12:15:15
interesting idea...i had never considered that
Ronald Wopereis: 12:15:18
do you like this feeling of being free ?
Yvette Dubel: 12:15:23
Ronald Wopereis: 12:15:49
in Avatar, the game is to see that all that is between us, are our diffs in perspective
Ronald Wopereis: 12:15:59
so peace is to play with perspectives
Yvette Dubel: 12:16:28
i wonder how i play with this as a CF project?
Yvette Dubel: 12:16:40
Yvette Dubel: 12:16:58
Yvette Dubel: 12:17:40
i had this idea of combining what i was learning from you with what i'm connecting with when i work with Irena (as an artist)....because i was interested in creating something
Ronald Wopereis: 12:17:51
Yvette Dubel: 12:17:55
and i wanted you to help me figure out what
Ronald Wopereis: 12:17:57
are you discovering something ?
Yvette Dubel: 12:18:03
Yvette Dubel: 12:18:10
it came to me when you asked me about
Yvette Dubel: 12:18:19
showing you how to build your business
Yvette Dubel: 12:18:25
and i had this series of ideas
Yvette Dubel: 12:18:30
and it was too many at once
Yvette Dubel: 12:18:35
Yvette Dubel: 12:18:38
Yvette Dubel: 12:18:42
and now i'm back to this one
Yvette Dubel: 12:19:03
i can feel that there is something to be discovered
Ronald Wopereis: 12:19:10
Ronald Wopereis: 12:19:17
feel the energy inside the question
Ronald Wopereis: 12:19:24
Yvette Dubel: 12:19:47
in the fusion of what i want to do with creating art as part of my healing/discovery, and your work with attention and the Avatar work
Yvette Dubel: 12:19:59
Yvette Dubel: 12:20:19
Irena and i both share passion for art
Yvette Dubel: 12:20:25
Yvette Dubel: 12:20:30
Yvette Dubel: 12:20:44
and we want to share this with others
Yvette Dubel: 12:21:15
and your work with attention
Yvette Dubel: 12:21:45
and what i knew of Avatar, initially i had compared it to that because i knew of nothing else like what i meant
Yvette Dubel: 12:22:09
you insights and discovery process with Attention
Yvette Dubel: 12:22:26
how can that be enhanced by the creation of art?
Ronald Wopereis: 12:22:42
talk about art saving you ?
Yvette Dubel: 12:22:48
why does art help teach about attention as a personal development process like Avatar?
Ronald Wopereis: 12:23:06
what do you mean by "art saves me" ?
Yvette Dubel: 12:23:21
Yvette Dubel: 12:23:30
connects me to source and i find me
Yvette Dubel: 12:23:41
Ronald Wopereis: 12:23:49
Ronald Wopereis: 12:24:03
so art is the bridge to source ?
Yvette Dubel: 12:24:06
Ronald Wopereis: 12:24:15
ok then i got news for you
Yvette Dubel: 12:24:19
Ronald Wopereis: 12:24:32
replace the word "art" with "expression" ?
Yvette Dubel: 12:24:39
Yvette Dubel: 12:24:48
Yvette Dubel: 12:25:16
Ronald Wopereis: 12:25:35
that you can not do What and How ,
Ronald Wopereis: 12:25:46
that What needs/wants to express itself,
Ronald Wopereis: 12:25:49
Ronald Wopereis: 12:25:59
so there you have your snake
Yvette Dubel: 12:26:14
Ronald Wopereis: 12:29:05
remember the two hands drawing each other ?
Yvette Dubel: 12:29:08
Ronald Wopereis: 12:29:18
think of snake head and tail as bilocality
Ronald Wopereis: 12:29:30
the movement of impression is that the snake eats its tail
Ronald Wopereis: 12:29:43
the movement of expression is,
Ronald Wopereis: 12:29:49
that the snake actually grows,
Ronald Wopereis: 12:29:59
by creating, spitting out from the inside, its tail
Ronald Wopereis: 12:30:00
Yvette Dubel: 12:30:11
Yvette Dubel: 12:30:58
can feel how that is the bridge between inspiration and the resulting creation
Yvette Dubel: 12:31:38
what is Avatar wisdom when fused with creative expression?
Ronald Wopereis: 12:31:39
so disconnect from the belief that you know "the snake BITES the tail"
Ronald Wopereis: 12:31:52
you are SOURCE of your expression
Ronald Wopereis: 12:32:02
to go into expression means : believing
Ronald Wopereis: 12:32:11
to get out of expression means : discreate a belief,
Ronald Wopereis: 12:32:20
by first feeling the borders of the belief,
Ronald Wopereis: 12:32:38
calling back all energy that one had previously injected
Ronald Wopereis: 12:32:51
and then labelling, is the exit/entry point
7:56:17 AM Yvette Dubel says: so there is this experiene of slowing time because the images and word set the pace for moving through this area of space
7:56:28 AM Yvette Dubel says: then the next space is stark
7:56:42 AM Yvette Dubel says: and you know those aroma diffusers?
7:57:13 AM Yvette Dubel says: there's only that and a fan from above
7:57:20 AM Yvette Dubel says: the room is monotone
7:57:36 AM Yvette Dubel says: it may be part of the same room, buthe area creates a room
7:57:48 AM Yvette Dubel says: the aroma diffuser pumps out the smell of fresh flowers
7:58:06 AM Yvette Dubel says: and impulse of those entering is to breathe more deeply
7:58:25 AM Yvette Dubel says: when they exit they see a sign that says BREATHE
7:58:53 AM Yvette Dubel says: the words on the floor pick up again
7:59:08 AM Yvette Dubel says: but they are sporatic this time, instead of scrolling in a steady logical stream
7:59:19 AM Yvette Dubel says: there are pauses between them
7:59:36 AM Yvette Dubel says: with the audio from an event
7:59:48 AM Yvette Dubel says: i'm thinking Event Twoday
8:00:33 AM Yvette Dubel says: the words on the floor pause
8:01:02 AM Yvette Dubel says: Peace TwoDay scrolls along the wall at eyelevel
8:01:28 AM Yvette Dubel says: it scrolls four times and on the second scroll the floor instructs
8:01:39 AM Yvette Dubel says: look at the words on the wall
8:02:43 AM Yvette Dubel says: then the words on the wall instruct
8:03:04 AM Yvette Dubel says: stay on the path
8:03:54 AM Yvette Dubel says: a spotlight ahead marks a moving floor
8:04:55 AM Yvette Dubel says: a sign says: Pay ATTENTION. This path will move you.
8:05:16 AM Yvette Dubel says: the path is a bit of an escalator type walkway
8:07:00 AM Yvette Dubel says: Monitors now alternate between eye level for adults and children to show a montage of film footage documenting the Peace events and whatever else calls to be included
8:07:55 AM Yvette Dubel says: and then there is a band on a stage playing where the floor stops
8:08:40 AM Yvette Dubel says: and the path of gold is back
8:10:48 AM Yvette Dubel says: this path leads them through a more traditional display of drawings, paintings, and sculputures (i don't know if i've found these pieces yet because i don't see/feel them clearly)
8:10:57 AM Yvette Dubel says: at the end
8:11:06 AM Yvette Dubel says: Anita's bowl is back
8:11:16 AM Yvette Dubel says: they start where they began
8:11:46 AM Yvette Dubel says: with parting words
8:12:02 AM Yvette Dubel says: from Comfusion:Proverbs.
8:12:57 AM Yvette Dubel says: And i want the whole thing to be treated as a commissioned artwork
8:13:23 AM Yvette Dubel says: i need a sponsor for the Installation so the artist can be commissioned
8:13:30 AM Yvette Dubel says: and at the end of the exhibition
8:13:47 AM Yvette Dubel says: all of which is documented for inclusion in the CF Hotel Infinity Gallery
8:14:00 AM Yvette Dubel says: the pieces of the exhibit will be sold as a fundraiser
8:14:23 AM Yvette Dubel says: and the sponsor's logos or personal messages
8:14:45 AM Yvette Dubel says: will be incorporated into the various pieces of the artwork, depending on what they opt to sponsor
8:15:00 AM Yvette Dubel says: like someone may want to sponsor a section of the path
8:15:29 AM Yvette Dubel says: or one of the monitor exhibits..so they'd be included in that section of the artwork
8:15:56 AM Yvette Dubel says: so that the sponsors also become integral to the artwork
8:16:08 AM Yvette Dubel says: and then the whole project is not only an Installation
8:16:14 AM Yvette Dubel says: but also a performance peice
8:16:15 AM Yvette Dubel says: piece
8:17:25 AM Yvette Dubel says: where the sponsors participate in the creation by supporting it financially but also by contributing to the actual creative result where their business is immortalized
8:17:38 AM Yvette Dubel says: in terms of spaces
8:17:50 AM Yvette Dubel says: i want old buildings with modern interiors
8:18:29 AM Yvette Dubel says: i need the sense of history and place an older building gives
8:18:48 AM Yvette Dubel says: and the modern interior so that there's enough space to do this project
8:19:07 AM Yvette Dubel says: and somehow this concept for this, my first Installation
8:19:11 AM Yvette Dubel says: wow!
8:19:30 AM Yvette Dubel says: i've never even gone this far in planning or envisioning an Installation idea before!
8:19:33 AM Yvette Dubel says: COOL
8:19:58 AM Yvette Dubel says: so i'll have to ask Anita if she'd be willing to be commissioned for such a thing
8:20:35 AM Yvette Dubel says: Do you think i should just send her this because i don't know how else to explain it
8:21:03 AM Yvette Dubel says: i can't wait to meet the people who can help me figure out how to do this project and get all teh bits set up!
8:21:09 AM Yvette Dubel says: (clap)
8:21:56 AM Yvette Dubel says: Perhaps you could share this with Anita to let her know that her bowls were the first visual inspiration?
9:15:05 AM Ronald Wopereis says: yes
9:15:17 AM Ronald Wopereis says: wonderful !
9:15:18 AM Ronald Wopereis says: wonderful !
9:15:19 AM Yvette Dubel says: yes, i'm very excited about this!

Update to this concept - Using the Egg Bowl Pendulum at the Entrance of the cfAaP House of Cards Installation - and to repeat the them Egg Bowl theme in a sculpture within the Installation Garden centered in the Labyrinth.
