The Center for Land Use Interpretation
"... we work within the miasmic grey area [and study the subjective experience of landscape], where conflicting and even contradictory things can exist at once, overlapping, in a space where paradox is a continuous predicament, and is recognized as another form of truth... Our work is about America, and more accurately the USA. Who are we? How does our lanscape, build and altered by our society, harbor meaning about us, collectively, and even individually? We collect information and imagery on places of every concievable type all over the country. We then draw from this collection of places and representations of places to make exhibitions, tours, and other public programs. We can make thematic programs, looking at one sort of phenomenon as it occurs in differnet or similar forms across the land, or we can do regional projects, where we take a defined area, and see what is there, creating a characterization of that region, and making inferences about how that region relates to, and within, the larger context of the country."

After spending almost MOST of my job hours fundraising -or thinking about fundraising - I decided that it oo can be a creative act - almost like art-making. Fundraising as art - yeah.
