Waterpod Project

WATERPOD. WHAT IT IS. HOW IT IS. WHO IT IS.

LOG

Tuesday, January 2, 2007: I picked up supplies from the International Center of Photography and had them carted away in two mobile storage units that reside in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Wednesday, May 30, 2007: Anne Percoco began contacting businesses and individuals in New York and the surrounding boroughs about locations to dock the Waterpod.

Saturday, June 2, 2007: Mira arrived in New York Thursday night. We got settled in on Friday and started working on Saturday. Discussed plans over an iced coffee in the heat of the morning, and headed into Chinatown to purchase some items at Plastic Land. We headed back to Brooklyn and made a few more plans over a meal. Back at 302 Eastern Parkway, we began assembling, resining, and planning maquettes, scenes, and promotional materials. Juan Puntes is going to Spain on Tuesday and would like to take some press packages with him. We are making four domed packages, and will save one for the record.

Sunday, June 3, 2007: Mira and I began photographing maquettes, officialized the new logo, scrutinized the fashion line, and designed the press package.

Monday, June 4, 2007: Juan donated his large studio in the East Village for our work. We moved in that afternoon and spent the entire seven days there, leaving the place only once in a while for a meeting with Jee Won Kim, a krumping party at Greg Liburd's abode, Curlies Vegetarian with David and Leslie, and one or two other times.

Sunday, June 10, 2007: Mira returned to Vancouver for the time being, and I continued to live at Juan's place until his return from Venice, when I officially began my nomadic travels of New York. From my New York end, I have had some successful and productive meetings, designed and deployed a timeline for Waterpod events, completed the first book (Please see PDF versions: here) as well as a working model.
