Mandi Goodier is looking for people to participate in her latest project.
This is a call for appropriations.
How to participate....
I am inviting you to take ownership of the text. To write/mark upon the sheet of paper as you might do with a theoretical or academic writing. Creating a sort of map of your approach to the text. Interrogate it, change it, edit it, define it, critique it, re-write it, empathise with it... do whatever you like as long as you act upon the page. APPROPRIATE IT.
The result will be a rewriting of the original text in order to make it more complete through collective understanding/interpretations, or more flawed text as meaning may have all together deteriorated. The rewritten text will be generated by you, the reader who through reading, understanding and marking the sheet will become a part of the collective author.
The collated responses and rewritten text will then be reproduced in the form of a publication.
To participate simply download the attachment, print, digest the contents, appropriate the text and then return it to me via email/post (preferably post)
Please forward this email/photocopied version of the text (+ instructions) to anyone else who may be interested in participating.
(If emailing please cc usergeneration@gmail.com to help keep track of the project, I will not hound you with emails I promise)
Email: usergeneration@gmail.com for the text.

General Interest is a series of lectures inviting Manchester practitioners to invite someone they like to give a talk on something they like. If the nominated speaker was unable to talk, it was then requested that they nominate another speaker; someone they like.
The talks will be held at the Soup Kitchen, Manchester on the last Tuesday of each month from January through to August 2011. The talks are free to enter and wholly inclusive encouraging interaction and discussion. Each event will be accompanied by a publication, filmed and archived online.
General Interest was started by Matthew Walkerdine and Jessica Higgins who then invited Comfortable on a Tightrope, Craig Oldham, Good Grief!, Hot Bed Press, Islington Mill Art Academy and Salford Zine Library to participate.
Since completing a degree in 2001 Ba (Hons) Print Media Book Arts & Craft, I have been making and exhibiting artists' books and prints, my work is held in private and public collections. I make books and prints about the everyday world around me; the everyday that stops me, makes me wonder and take the time to stand and stare.
