Hi all,
I hope you don't mind my forwarding this:
----
Flaming Fire has been collaborating with a group of amazing artists
who have flown in from all over the country to work on a holiday-
themed art installation in a downtown storefront, at the request of a
very large, established organization that specializes in bringing
"business, culture and artists together" in Brooklyn.

This organization has abruptly informed us that they changed their
minds this week, and that the space is gone. I'm currently hosting
two artists in my house, a Hollywood film-set designer/architect and
a sculptor from Chicago, who expected to begin installing their work
on Tuesday.

We are very interested in working with any storefront, arts
organization, gallery or loft space that would be interested in
hosting a multi-media installation. Our group has already invested
thousands of dollars and weeks of collaborative labor into this
project, and we can assure you it will be a stunning, beautiful and
thought-provoking addition to your space.

If you know of anyone who might be interested, please email me at:

Thanks,
Patrick

PROPOSAL:

FLAMING FIRE would like to create a holiday installation that
explores the mythological and cultural and roots of the holiday
season. This would include:
* a beautiful window display with original sculptures
* an ongoing illustration kiosk, with community members invited to
contribute illustrations to the project and upload them to a website
online.
* an indoor installation that incorporates live projected video,
music, dramatic staging, sculpture, artistic lighting, created by
cutting-edge NYC professionals.
* a winter fitness run through Brooklyn with the Flaming Fire Fitness
Band.
* local community members would be invited to observe or participate
in the creation and performance of this project


MISSION STATEMENT:

Flaming Fire is a Brooklyn-based collective focused on metaphysics in
art. Envisioned is a space committed to the active participation of
community members in the process of art making.  Through a synthesis
of performance and ritual, a multi-media environment of sound,
sculpture, and theatre provide a basis for an open resource geared
towards distinguishing the role of art in our daily lives.  Current
projects include an illustrated Bible produced by hundreds of
participants, and a musical fitness troupe that combines health and
music.

Won't somebody please please adopt my guinea pig before we move to
Texas? He's quite the mellow companion, and very soft to pet! He
comes with a cage, hut, water bottle, and bowl. Everything you need.
Thanks,
Lalena
