Friday, July 16, 2010 Free Day
Today was a free day but we did have an art track devotional and spend some morning time journaling. The art track staff and interns briefly had a meeting talking about tear down and any updates about the opening. Apparently a lot of the art mentors came today or yesterday opening. A lot of other people came as well friends of the students or staff. Anthony shared with us that one of Lauren H.'s friend who recently moved into the city came to the show. She spent a lot of time in our exhibit and when she walked into the "intimacy" house she spent a long time reading those private secret messages written on those tags and came out in tears. Apparently the exhibit had some impact on her and I see it as a sign from God as one success story that our exhibit had made some eternal impact.
Later today we had time to be tourist and I went to see the movie Inception with they guys and Emily. Afterwards I met up Caleb and Norah at the Metropolitan Museum and head back to NYCAMS to gather folks to go to South Ferry, which is an amazing sight to see at night.

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 Rick James: Backstory
1) Starting with the "intimacy" with God wish of us,
2) but "intimacy" was loss when we "betrayal" God.
3) We anticipate a hope from God to restore this brokenness.
4) God "pursuit" of us pour upon His grace upon us,
5) to do so God had to "sacrifice" His only Son for us.
6) He welcomes us to an "invitation" into his trust to receive the gift of Christ's "sacrifice".
7) We are finally at a climax of "reunion" with God because we believe in the gift of Christ.
The use of backstory is a longer dialogue with someone so he explain how and when you should use Backstory.
Benefit of Backstory is people can internalize the gospel more deeply and understand the meaning of these words.
A lot of the "Christianese" words we use like "sin", "repent", "redeem" have little meaning in a post-modern which does not have context of history for these words as much in our present day.
I like the visual aspect of Backstory and the storyline of the scheme so I can see myself using something like this as a follow-up with those I share the gospel initially with who had never heard of the gospel before.
I went running with Caleb in the morning west toward the Hudson River and south toward Chelsea Pier which we rest and enjoyed the view before heading back to shower and clean up for Rick's James presenting Backstory.
Ran into this staircase on 28th street, thought it was a photo opportunity waiting to happen as if someone want our attention.
I'm so proud of my team figuring out an obstacle today nailing drywall screws into thin drywall with help from Jonathan and Adam. Thanks a lot. I'm so relieved we are close to finishing our project it looks great. I will post the final thing once the show opening begin. Tomorrow the only thing we need to finish is tacking our imagery on to our light boxes.
The intimacy group is hanging secrets of people on our project written on tags on their red fabric. Looks good guys.
The invitation group working hard on cutting our those invitation leaves to make an illusion of a pile of leaves in the center of the gallery flooring.

They finish their handmade fabric walls with sand and plants inside as well as a fan. The group plan on leading viewers inside sacrificing one of their senses to prove the point that sacrifice is not always a bad thing. When we sacrifice we receive an award for our loss.

Friday, July 9, 2010: Tomorrow our Critique!
Pray for unity as we come together while setting up the space and contribute to make this a glorifying time for the work we done.
Pray for the Spirit to be alive in our studio time as we have conflict with each other and feel stressed out.
Pray for the staff responsibilities will be manageable as we promote and invite guests and prepare for the opening.
Pray for incoming guests and people to be welcome into the space with a heart to hear and listen to what the work say about themselves about the words being portrayed: Betrayal, Sacrifice, Pursuit, Intimacy, Anticipation, Invitation and Reunion.
