QUEER PUBLICS
A Conversation with Paul Couillard, Deirdre Logue, John Paul Ricco and Jason St-Laurent
Part of A Potential Toronto
Initiated by Toronto School of Creativity & Inquiry (TSCI)

Friday, 9 November at 7:30pm
Toronto Free Gallery - 660 Queen Street East (w. of Broadview)
In Toronto, queer publics have a powerful creative and political presence. LGBT artists have worked hard to construct counter-publics by working collaboratively, building production networks, and constructing events. These practices challenge regimes of heteronormative identity and capital competition through their emphasis on forms of intersubjectivity beyond couple, family and state, and politics based in desire rather than regulation. How might the codes, protocols, laws and imperatives of heteronormativity, interiority, and the public/private divide be refused and reconfigured?
What creative potentials for redefining intersubjectivity emerge through the formation of queer publics, and counter-publics. How does the production of minor spaces and practices change the life of the city? And when these spaces are subsumed by dominant practices and politics, how can queer publics re-politicize themselves? Local curators, artists and educators Paul Couillard, Deirdre Logue, John Paul Ricco and Jason St-Laurent talk about the erotic, aesthetic, ethical, and political potential of queer publics.
Paul Couillard has been working as an artist, curator, and organizer since 1985, focusing on performance art with forays into video, installation, and holography. He has created well over 100 solo and collaborative performance works in more than a dozen countries, often working with his partner Ed Johnson. Couillard was the Performance Art Curator for Fado from its inception in 1993 until 2007, and is also a founding co-curator of the 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival, both based in Toronto.
Deirdre Logue's film and videos address how it is that women organize their images and identities for mass consumption, and how this reflects or distracts from our knowledge of the individual. She is interested in both queer and feminist theory, early video and performance art, psychoanalysis and psychosomatic illness. Deirdre was the Executive Director of the Images Festival of Independent Film and Video from 1995-1999, the Executive Director at the Canadian Filmmakers' Distribution Centre from 2001-2006, and is currently the Development Director at Vtape in Toronto.
John Paul Ricco is a queer theorist, curator, and sometimes performance artist. Author of The Logic of the Lure (2002), his work is dedicated to thinking the ethics, politics and aesthetics of social-sexual space. He is Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art History, Media Theory and Criticism at the University of Toronto, and curator of "Queer Here, Queer Now," a three-part exhibition of contemporary queer video, opening in January 2008 at V-Tape, Toronto.
Jason St-Laurent is an artist and curator based in Toronto and currently working as Director of Programming for Inside Out Toronto Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival. He has curated more than 50 projects in Canada, Finland, Estonia, South Africa and Mexico.
About A Potential Toronto
A Potential Toronto is an event series and exhibition spotlighting alternative economies, minor spaces, and organizing strategies. It is a preliminary step in a longer-term counter-cartography project which would render currents of radical energy visible, audible, and tactile.
About Toronto School of Creativity & Inquiry
TSCI designs education events inquiring into the new enclosures: enclosures on time, space, creativity, thought, ecology, love... We seek to understand how these enclosures work. But combating against cynicism, we also inquire into creative pathways within, against, and beyond the enclosures: pathways of thinking, collaboration, organization, experimentation...

(In French only)
ChèrEs amiEs et collègues,
J’ai le plaisir de vous inviter à la 2ème performance présentée dans le cadre de l’exposition 'Faits du même sang', qui aura lieu ce samedi, 10 novembre 2007, à 19h, chez DIAGONALE au 5455 avenue de Gaspé, espace 203, Montréal.
'Faits du même sang' est une installation-vidéo-performance issue d’une réflexion sur ce qui est considéré comme un drame collectif en Colombie mais aussi dans bien des régions du monde: le déplacement forcé de populations entières à cause de la violence et du conflit armé, et dont les femmes sont sans contredit les principales victimes.
Pour l’occasion, je serai accompagnée des artistes Emmanuelle Calvé et Zazalie Z.
Emmanuelle Calvé est chorégraphe et danseuse graduée de l’Université Concordia (2003). Elle nous transporte par sa voix, son mouvement enraciné et sa force de vie vers des univers et des histoires d’une fraîcheur et transparence qui célèbrent la vie et l’union entre tous les êtres vivants. Emmanuelle danse pour le regroupement Subamingo au studio 303 ainsi qu’au Festival Vue sur la Relève (2005). Emmanuelle produit en collaboration avec Anna Smutny et Emily Gualtiery le spectacle C’est maintenant que ça se passe où elle présente sa toute dernière création Ayah au studio 303 (2007). Sa dernière création Lampe intérieure a été présenté à Tangente en septembre 2007.
Zazalie Z. participe sportivement à la vie culturelle depuis 15 ans. Elle explore l’art vocal, joue sur les cordes de l’expérimental, s’amuse avec les sons et les mots, et présente sa poésie sonore au Festival international de la Littérature à Montréal rediffusé sur la chaîne culturelle de Radio-Canada (Décrocheurs d’étoiles), à la SAT pour l’événement AfricAmerica-Vues d’Afrique à Montréal, au Festival international Crane (France) puis au Mi Bar (Barcelone-Espagne). Zazalie trafique également l’image, la photographie, le son et la poésie puis transpose son travail dans un monde virtuel « Projet femmes écrivaines-Fictions interactives» présenté lors des soirées Htmlles au Studio XX.
Je tiens à remercier particulièrement :
Le Conseil des Arts du Canada, La Couverture magique Productions, le CINEP (Bogotá), Diagonale, le Groupe Intervention Vidéo (GIV), Développement et Paix, et InterPares
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer très bientôt,
Claudia Bernal
Entrée Libre
ARRIVEZ TÔT !

4. EVENT: David Khang Performance (New York)
Dates: November 10, 2007; Source: David Khang/Franklin Furnace
David Khang at NYU’s Happenings Lounge, November 10, 4 pm
721 Broadway, 6th Floor, Tisch School of the Arts, NYU
David Khang
"M. Butterfly (After Shigeko Kubota)"
A Performance
Saturday, November 10, 2007 at 4:00pm
Happenings Lounge: 721 Broadway, 6th Floor, Tisch School of the Arts, NYU
Co-sponsored by Performance Studies International #13
David Khang plays with language and its performativity. In recent works that incorporate animals – a beef tongue, live butterflies, and a horse – Khang embodies a language that investigates constructions of race, gender and sexuality. Importantly, M. Butterfly (After Shigeko Kubota) is a citational work:
In 1960, LaMonte Young moved to NYC, and wrote Composition 1960 #5, which instructed the performer to "Turn a butterfly (or any number of butterflies) loose in the performance area."
In 1965, as part of the Perpetual Fluxus Festival, Shigeko Kubota performed her Vaginal Painting at the Cinemateque, NYC.
In 1988, David Henry Hwang's play M. Butterfly was produced on Broadway, NYC.
In 2007, these historically significant pieces – all performed in NYC - become departure points that converge onto one re-imagined and re-mixed performance with divergent and hyperbolic readings that have contemporary social/political/racial/sexual implications. Reinterpreting performative works from the past, then, becomes a means to re-imagine new poetic and political strategies for the present.
Khang's art practice is informed by previous education in the fields of psychology, theology, and dentistry, which continues to inform his ongoing concerns and works-in-progress. After attending Cooper Union (NYC) and Hong-Ik University (Seoul), Khang completed his BFA from
Emily Carr Institute, and MFA with Emphasis in Critical Theory, from University of California,
Irvine. Khang currently resides and works in Vancouver, where is an Adjunct Faculty at the Emily Carr Institute.
This work was made possible, in part, by Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art, supported by the New York State Council on the Arts and Jerome Foundation.

Dates: November 8-11, 2007; Source: Vassya Vassileva
tremor_4 <Live.Doc> - November 8-11, 2007
Tremor Live Arts presents Tremor_4, a festival of performance art that will occur in the artist’s present location. This year’s version of the annual Tremor Live Arts Event, <Live.Doc>, will happen on the internet in the form of a gallery, online portal, program and archive. Tremor_4 will be a freestyle and open-source festival that depends on the cooperation of the participating artists to succeed. We invite your collaboration in the production of this shared event! The festival is divided into four arenas of activity; street art, art space, transmission and electronic arts, and missing link.
Tremor Live Arts presents Tremor_4 <Live.Doc>, a mulit-locational performedia festival that will occur in the artist’s present location. This year's Tremor is happening Nov. 8-11, 2007. However, we cannot say where it is, only when. Like a homemade antenna, we design a call for entries where Tremor turns into another medium and form of experimentation. We turn to the participants as collaborators to create the event. We see that whatever happens during this time will bring diverse outbursts, activations, and presences around cities, MUDS, café internets, streets with diverse audiences and with different senses of connectivity. We are not proposing to abandon the model of a festival that is around space, in fact we will make tremor again in Colombia and other locations, but what we are doing is following the strategies and possibilities that the works of many Tremor artists have taught us.

7. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: M4 Tachometer (Berlin)
DATES: unspecified; Source: BBB Johannes Deimling
M4 – Tachometer
Is the yardstick measuring the current state of Art Performance
Place: Kunstverein Tiergarten | Galerie Nord, Turmstraße 75, 10551 Berlin | Germany
Datum: 15./16. February 2008
For two days, gallery Nord | Kunstverein Tiergarten will be showing a cross-section of the current Art Performance-Scene. On the first day, screenings and projections of performances will be giving a perspective of up-to-date productions. In the evening there will be a discussion about this subject. On the second day various performers will be showing their works.
Traditionally, performers tended to encapsulate themselves in stone, be buried in the ground, cut limbs, transplant ears on arms or put horns on their foreheads. The body was the performars primary tool – as it still is today. Oscillating between vanishing points in cyberspace and emerging definitions of social structures, the understanding of performance and body is changing. Current performances examine a certain renaissance of sexual patterns, formarly perceived as faded, as well as today’s interrelated work- and social space.
Contemporary performance reduces actions by means of new media, such as documentary practices in film, and thus connecting to Arte Povera and other minimalist traditions. Art performance, therefore, remains decidedly outside current forms of art-market strategies, but is rather functioning as sozio-critical event. Occasionally roles are even traded between audience and performers. Actors and consumers exchange positions. Furthermore, political implications are placing current performances firmly in society itself, without assuming pedagogical means.
M4 is looking for Video-work dealing with new tendencies in Art Performance.

12. CALL FOR PAPES: Performance Research
Dates: November 22, 2007; Source: Performance Research
Volume 13, No. 3 (September 2008) Congregation
Issue Editor: Claire MacDonald
CALL FOR PAPERS
Performance Research is seeking contributions to Congregation – an issue looking at religious and spiritual practice and performance.
The project of Congregation is to seek to make meaningful connections between the sociality and spirituality of religious practice, and the field of performance as art and scholarship. Religion is almost always discussed in terms of belief, but as former nun and historian of religion Karen Armstrong has pointed out, belief is a late comer to the religious scene, for most people most of the time throughout history, religion has more to do with practice.
The intention of Congregation is to address spiritual and religious practice as social phenomena through the lens of performance, and at the same time to explore the ways in which spiritual and religious practices have generated, informed and underpinned the practice of contemporary art and artists.
The issue might include looking at productive tensions in the interaction between art, religion and politics. It might look at earlier periods of artistic and religious activism, around, for instance, liberation theology in the 1960s. It might look at what artist Eleanor Heartney calls ‘the Catholic Imagination’ in her postmodern heretics series, citing Andres Serrano and Robert Mapplethorpe amongst her examples. It may look at the intersections between the sacred and the profane in the work of performance artists, and it may consider the generative interactions between practice and form, art and belief in the African American church and in the work of African American artists.
Critic Bonnie Marranca has suggested that religious practice and the spiritual sensibility fuelled avant-garde form, and this is particularly so in the relationship of Jewish thought and practice, in which the visual word, dialogic questioning and mysticism have informed avant-garde practice from Dada to postmodernism. Both Judaism and Islam have explored the performed, visualized, material word. We hope that this issue will include artists from Islamic, especially Persian and Arabic, traditions now working in multidisciplinary art contexts as well as with textual performance.
We are looking for a mix of contributions that suggest ways in which considering the encounter between the sacred and the secular through looking at the forms of performance, practice and event, might provide what Alan Read called, in an earlier call for papers for On Civility, an ‘unlikely circuit breaker,’ allowing the juxtaposition of varied and multiple voices to create a dynamic exchange. In a real sense the ambition of this issue is to foster a congregational space – a gathering space for possibly dissonant voices and approaches expressed visually and through interviews and documents as well as textual essays. Proposals are welcomed from scholars and artists and also from theologians and practitioners with and within faith backgrounds.
Please feel free to contact and discuss ideas with me, Claire MacDonald, the issue editor, in advance of submitting a proposal.
Deadlines for issue 13:3 are as follows:
Proposals: November 22nd 2007
Draft manuscripts: February 28th 2008

November 5 to 26, 2007
at 280, rue Beaubien est, Montréal
Performances:
Cycle "comfort" - Friday November 9 at 9PM
Cycle "risk" - Friday November 16 at midnight
Cycle "filth" - Saturday November 24 at 3PM
with the participation of: Belinda Campbell, Hannah Derozio, Jody Hegel, Mathieu Lacroix, Christian Leblanc, Mathieu Lefèvre, Laël Stellick
The full schedule can be downloaded from: http://www.dare-dare.org
Plan d'aménagement takes an interest in the ambiguity and curiosity passers-by experience when they come upon a space under construction or development - a space in the making. In response to this ambiguity, Caroline Dubois and Julie Favreau will assemble various settings and situations of "soon-to-open" businesses or film stage. Plan d'aménagement takes place in a vacant commercial premise on Beaubien Street.
Investigations and performances carried out in this space during an entire month will fall into three thematic categories: "comfort", "risk" and "filth". These themes will guide construction and actions that will unravel there. The artists will continuously redesign and transform the commercial premise. The construction/destruction activities within this setting will become the building blocks of choreographies for three different performances. From the sidewalk, passers-by will witness the daily activities as well ass all phases of the project: construction, research and performance. They will be invited to come inside or to view from the shop window. Both the process and the performances will be accessible to them.
Caroline Dubois is a visual artist and choreographer. Julie Favreau is a visual artist. Through their joint practice, the boundaries between art forms are blurred, mixing visual arts, performance, living portraits, dance and theatre. In Dubois and Favreau's scenography, the body is completely dependent of the object.

Le calendrier de l'occupation quotidienne du lieu se trouve sur le site Web du centre : http://www.dare-dare.org
Plan d'aménagement s'intéresse à l'ambiguïté et à la curiosité ressenties par les passants devant un espace en construction et en réaménagement, un lieu en devenir. Pour répondre à cette ambiguïté, Caroline Dubois et Julie Favreau construiront divers décors et situations suggérant l'ouverture prochaine d'un commerce ou d'un plateau de tournage. Plan d'aménagement prend place dans un espace commercial vacant de la rue Beaubien, dans la Petite-Patrie.
Les investigations et représentations réalisées dans cet espace sur une période d'un mois seront partagées en trois thématiques, soit «confort», «risque» et «saleté». Les thématiques détermineront les pistes qu'emprunteront les constructions et les actions dans le lieu. Elles permettront de faire de ce local un lieu en perpétuelle redéfinition: chaque thème exploré entraînera une reconfiguration. Les artistes vont constamment réaménager et transformer cet espace commercial.
À partir de ces thématiques, Dubois et Favreau construiront trois décors différents et procéderont à l'invention d'univers distincts à partir des mêmes moyens: le même local, les mêmes interprètes et les mêmes matériaux. Le travail et les gestes de construction et de destruction de ces univers deviendront la matière de l'écriture chorégraphique menant à trois spectacles différents.
Les matériaux joncheront le sol du local avec vitrine sur rue. Le passant sera témoin des activités quotidiennes visibles de l'extérieur, ainsi qu'à toutes les étapes de la réalisation du projet, autant celles de la construction, de la recherche que du spectacle. Il sera invité à entrer dans l'espace ou à observer de l'extérieur. Les artistes donneront accès autant au processus qu'à la présentation.
Caroline Dubois est artiste visuel et chorégraphe. Julie Favreau est artiste visuel. Ensemble elles cherchent à brouiller les limites entre les formes d'art, mélangeant arts visuels, performance, tableau vivant, danse et théâtre. Elles s'intéressent à l'espace scénique, le considérant comme un espace d'expérimentation et de recherche. Confrontant le corps humain à des structures créées de toutes pièces, Dubois et Favreau élaborent des espaces scénographiques où le corps dépend totalement de l'objet.

What will we make? We’ll have to see!
The few hints provided here are only to break through whatever might arise. No rules to be learned, no method apart from throwing mud at the wall and seeing what sticks (while at the same time trying not to get too much mud in ones eyes.)
Working alongside the disorder we will engage in discussions, anecdotes, memories, readings, listening and movement, shifting back and forth between watching and doing, between performer and spectator - addressing strategies of (non) acting (autonomy, the performer taking responsibility), the audience (the relationship between performer and spectator, giving the spectator a platform), collective content (created in successive layers, developed in concrete actions), zones of discomfort (texts to be learned or read, video interventions...) and the transdisciplinary (building the quasi-cinematographic stage, to play with a musical instrument rather than to play it).
With PME-ART’s first workshop we will address those eager to be inside the paradox, the blur, to risk fully engaging in a process where animators and participants are all equally implicated.
The workshop will be animated by a director who spends too much time in art galleries and a performer who thinks that art is elsewhere and – both elsewhere and within art – asks too many questions.
Jacob Wren is a writer, performer, theatre director and filmmaker. He is co-artistic director of the Montreal-based theatre company PME-ART. His work has been performed in Quebec, Canada, the United-States, Europe, Australia and Asia. He has also worked with STO Union, performance artist Shannon Cochrane and was recently invited by Sophiensæle (Berlin) to mount Death In Rome. His texts have been published by Coach House Books, Exile Editions, Pedlar Press, C Magazine and Le Quartanier.
Trained in photography and video, Laure Ottmann experiments through artistic encounters and is interested in all that can be derived from questions surrounding representation and performance. Since 1995, she was the co-artistic director of the European collective ODDibadidDUB (music, installation and screenings) and, as a creator and performer, she collaborated with PME-ART, Jacob Wren, Dave St-Pierre, Mia Maure dance, Lucky Bastard (FIND), Patrice Duhamel, Nathalie Derome, Marie Nerland (Norway), Alexander Gerner (Portugal), Stefan Ferry (Israel), Flashtanz (France), etc.
PME-ART have toured in Québec, Canada, Europe, the United-States and Japan with productions that push stage language to its absolute limit, such as Families Are Formed through Copulation, Unrehearsed Beauty / Le Génie des autres and En français comme en anglais, it’s easy to criticize.

Qu’allons-nous faire ? Nous verrons bien !
Les quelques balises posées ici ne le sont que pour mieux éclater face à ce qui arrivera. Aucune règle à transmettre, aucune méthode sinon le tâtonnement (et son jeu d’évitement avec le taponnage).
Seront abordés, dans le désordre, sous forme de discussions, de récits d’anecdotes, de souvenirs, de lectures, d’écoute, de citations, de mouvements, dans un va-et-vient entre faire et regarder faire (s’improviser performeur puis spectateur ): le (non)- jeu (autonome, le performeur-auteur devient responsable), l’audience (briser le quatrième mur par le regard et offrir une tribune au spectateur), le contenu collectif (développé par couches successives et transposé en actions concrètes), les zones d’inconfort (textes à apprendre ou à lire, interventions vidéo,...) et le transdisciplinaire (construction quasi cinématographique d’un show, jouer avec un instrument de musique plutôt que d’en jouer).
Grande première pour la compagnie PME-ART, cet atelier s’adresse à celles et ceux désireux d’être dans le flou (artistique au mieux), de risquer d'eux-mêmesdans le travail - le participant étant invité à être tout aussi actif que les animateurs. L’atelier sera animé par un metteur en scène qui passe trop de temps dans les galeries d’art (entre deux lectures) et une performeuse qui pense que l’art est ailleurs et - non contente de cela- pose trop de questions :
Jacob Wren est auteur, performeur, metteur en scène de théâtre et de cinéma. Il est codirecteur artistique de la compagnie de théâtre montréalaise PME-ART. Son travail a été vu au Québec, au Canada, aux États-Unis, en Europe, en Océanie et en Asie. Il a collaboré avec STO Union, la performeuse Shannon Cochrane et il a été récemment invité par la Sophiensæle (Berlin) à monter « Der Tod in Rom ». Ses textes sont publiés chez Coach House Books, Exile Editions, Pedlar Press, C Magazine et Le Quartanier.
Formée à l’image (photographie et vidéo), Laure Ottmann expérimente au gré des rencontres artistiques et s’intéresse aux dérivés de la représentation et du spectacle vivant. Depuis 1995, elle a assumé la codirection artistique du collectif européen ODDibadidDUB (musique, installations et projections) et, comme créatrice et interprète, elle a collaboré avec PME-ART, Jacob Wren, Dave St-Pierre, Mia Maure danse, Lucky Bastard (FIND), Patrice Duhamel, Nathalie Derome, Marie Nerland (Norvège), Alexander Gerner (Portugal), Stefan Ferry (Israël), Flashtanz (France), etc.
Les productions de PME-ART (La famille se crée en copulant, Unrehearsed Beauty/ Le Génie des autres et En français comme an anglais, it’s easy to criticize) poussent le langage théâtral jusqu’à ses dernières limites; elles ont circulé au Québec, au Canada, en Europe, aux États-Unis et au Japon.

Ruti Director, “Yediot Aharonot”, 1.12.06

18. RELEASED: liveartwork DVD issue 7, October 2007 Now Released!
Date: October 2007; Source: Christopher Hewitt
Issue 7 of liveartwork DVD is out now and features a particularly international selection of contemporary performance artists.
Norwegian artist Kurt Johannessen presents documentation of a quartet of his visually poetic performances that were recently shown at the Bergen Art Museum. From China there is He Chengyo with her physically intense performance ’99 Needles’ and Yu Ji with his equally challenging solo performance where he creates a unique engagement with the audience.
Pascale Grau from Switzerland presents a performance combining live video and audio elements in which she uses her own body as a stage while British artist Jordan McKenzie uses the action of drawing to map his own body to the architecture that it occupies. Les Fermières Obsédées are a Québec based performance group consisting of three women who create exciting and challenging performative tableaux vivants and public spectacles which satirize and confront conformist images of femininity.
Finally issue 7 includes a bonus ‘trailer’ for Performance Saga, an exciting new DVD publication series from Switzerland featuring video interviews with eight women pioneers of Performance Art. The video features excerpts from interviews with Esther Ferrer, Valie Export, Monika Günther, Joan Jonas, Alison Knowles, Ulrike Rosenbach, Martha Rosler and Carolee Schneemann.

20. ANNOUNCING: ComPeung Artist-in-Residency program 2008
Dates: No fixed dates; Source: ComPeung
ComPeung is seeking applications for our 2008 Artist Residency Program.
Artists or arts workers who work in or with communities are encouraged to apply.
Our residency program provides opportunities for local and international artists to live and work together with our team and the local community. ComPeung residencies are for a period of one to three months.
ComPeung is located in Doi Saket, Chiang Mai Province, Northern Thailand. Despite just being 20 km northeast of the city of Chiang Mai, Doi Saket so far has escaped the tourism trap. Due to its position Doi Saket is also the gateway to Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle. With diverse local and ethnic communities traditional northern everyday culture is still very much alive in Doi Saket.
Interested artists are encouraged to apply by providing ComPeung with a preliminary proposal of her/his/their art work or project. As a work-in-progress we understand that the proposed project might change in the process.
For further information about ComPeung and for details about how to apply, please go to: http://www.compeung.org
Closing date: There is no fixed deadline, but we appreciate to receive applications at least 3 months prior to the proposed residency. If you have any questions relating to the application or the residency please contact us:

21. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Jamie McMurry’s The New Forest of Joseph Beuys
Dates: no specified date; Source: Jamie McMurry
Greetings all -
I have recently started a project called The New Forest of Joseph Beuys and I need your assistance. It’s a little involved so I greatly appreciate your contributions.
There is an insurance company in the united states called 21st century and they have begun a promotional campaign in which they will plant a tree in your name when you use their website to get an automobile insurance estimate.
Here is the link to begin the process:
http://lp.21st.com/tree/
The first step is to put in the zip code of an area in the united states where you supposedly live. Here is a link to a website that shows you a list of zip codes by state and city:
http://www.zip-codes.com/
Once you choose a city and a corresponding zip code then you will need to fill out a series of forms. Please create artificial names, addresses and other information to complete these forms. The address that you choose should be the city that corresponds with the zip code you put in the first page. They will only plant one tree per customer so you have to create totally different information each time you submit the forms.
You must also give a different email address each time, so it will be necessary to create an artificial email account for each form that you submit where you can receive a message from the insurance company.
I would suggest using hotmail.com or yahoo.com as it is quick and easy to set up email accounts there.
Once you have submitted all the forms, then check the fake email account you have set up and you should receive 2 messages from them, one that gives you the quote or cost of the insurance and another that is a letter thanking you for planting a tree. in that letter about the tree, there is a link where you can view the certificate proving that a tree was planted in your name (or at least planted in the name that you submitted for the quote).
This is what I need to track the names used and the amount of trees planted. Please forward me this email upon receipt.
thepowderkeg@hotmail.com
The goal is to either have 7000 trees planted as was the goal of Beuys in his venture 25 years ago or to cause the promotional campaign to cease due to over-activity. Please forward this to as many people as possible and feel free to create translations into languages other than English to allow it to be passed around even more. I greatly appreciate your assistance in this project and please email me with any questions.
