<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Hi Chris<br>
<br>
If by visual artist you mean what might also be called a graphic facilitator...<br>
I use this in almost every event/programme I'm involved in<br>
<br>
Captures the essence in '3d' (not literally), with instant visceral memory (mind, body, spirit) for those who were at the event – recalling the feelings etc that they had during the commitments etc they made. Heck of a lot more effective than report filed invisibly on the shelf.
<br>
<br>
Also brilliant for telling the story to others who weren't there. Eg. with event I did for the 40 most senior people in our DTI (Department of Trade & Industry)... The graphic was used afterwards to bring the Minister up to speed with the decisions etc.
<br>
<br>
The graphic becomes the output of the people, in the sense that they are asked to interact with the graphic facilitator to ensure that what's visualised portrays their experience.<br>
<br>
Used it recently to record appreciative stories of the work of an organisation that was going thru some fairly traumatic changes. Did the storytelling the afternoon before going into a day of Open Space about moving forward (with outputs also captured in a graphic).
<br>
<br>
These graphics were then photographed so that they could be reproduced in various sizes and used a motivational posters around the whole organisation (in many different locations). Often we 'encapsulate' the original and post it on the wall. One I did for the Small Business Service is still there some 3 years later – being used as part of the induction process for new people.
<br>
<br>
Also used graphics to capture stories in N. Ireland – working with young people and then adults – again before a day's Open Space (captured).<br>
<br>
Dunno whether this is what you are looking for...<br>
Trusting it helps a little<br>
<br>

Ps the person I mainly use is Tim Casswell who is UK based, so probably not the best for what you are needing. And... to get a flavour of the work we do, you could look at <a href="http://www.creativeconnection.co.uk" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
www.creativeconnection.co.uk</a> and see Visual Minutes... tho' I reckon many of the outputs he and I have capture show the potential more than some of the pics on the site eg. the balance of pics and words is more even in our work. Btw I used to use folks from Grove who have a different style – they are all over the US.

Hi mates:<br>
<br>
I have an opportunity coming up in the fall to work with a visual artist for an Open Space I am doing. The clients wants us to work together and I'm excited by the possibility, but haven't ever done that before. <br>
<br>
So what kind of good stories do you have of working with visual artists (and visual art as a modality) in Open Space.<br>
<br>
Daniel? Reinhardt? Is Nancy Margulis around? Others?<br>
<br>
Chris<br>
