Twitter with Marcin Ramocki

From: Marcin Ramocki:( http://twitter.com/59tweetthesis/ ) tomorrow, Sunday (10.31) between 2-3pm EST!

On the 493 anniversary of Martin Luther's "Disputatio pro declaratione virtutis indulgentiarum" I'll be tweeting
my text "59 twitter theses: light hearted disputation concerning artistic practice in the era of social media".

My piece was conceived as a companion for the exhibition "Future Is Not What It Used To Be" (11.11 – 26.12.2010), curated by Magda Sawon (Postmasters Gallery) at The Center of Contemporary Art Zamek Ujazdowski in Warsaw. The final text will become one of the catalogue essays for the show.

"59 twitter theses" is an attempt to open up a conversation about artistic practices in the age of social apps.
The text will be permanently left on Twitter.

Auction and Raffle Procedure

There will be approximately 100 art works contributed to the raffle. That same number of tickets will be sold. Each ticket has a unique number and all ticket holders should retain possession of their tickets. All ticket holders will receive a piece of art!!

IMPORTANT: You do not need to attend the event to receive a work of art. If you are unable to come to the auction you can choose someone to be your proxy.

Auction/raffle preview will begin at 6pm on Monday November 15th at Pierogi.

When arriving at Pierogi, ticket holders will be given a numbered list of the 100 art works. Each person should make note of their top ten or fifteen choices. As the evening progresses you may need to amend this list a few times.

At 7 pm precisely we will begin a short, live auction. There will be three or four surprise items, followed by a live auction for the chance to have the first, second and third pick of art work from the gallery. Immediately thereafter the raffle will begin. The entire raffle should take no more than 90 minutes.

As the raffle is being conducted all ticket holders must pay close attention and cross off artworks as they are chosen. When your ticket number is called you will have LESS THAN ONE MINUTE to announce which item you want. Please call out the number of the piece you want, and not the artist’s name. Artworks will be removed from the wall and carefully wrapped soon after they are chosen. Buyers are free to leave once they have their purchase in hand.


Tickets are 250$ The best way is of course by check, made out to ESPA, or Earth School Parent Association. Hold on to the checks with your package of unsold tickets until you are done selling or until our next meeting.

However, for people you are soliciting from afar, they can pay by PAYPAL on the school's website. We lose about 3% of the money in fees, so try to only use this when absolutely necessary.
