<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Chris and All</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A graphic recordist who is in tune with the
process can add wonderful dimensions to a gathering. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is my experience in working often with a
person who is a great personal friend and who has been integral to my
professional development. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is Cate FoleyBurke. She has a wonderful
gift of recording the tenor of conversations in breakout groups in a way that
resonates deeply </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>with participants. Cate notes (my paraphrase):
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"I do not hear the words, they flow through me and
what I record in words, pictures and symbols 'just happens.'" </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She usually works with A2 sized paper and each
completed recording is immediately posted on a gallery wall for all to see.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just three of the dimensions which people have
reported:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>. When we saw what Cate had produced we were amazed
at how profound was our conversation. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>. We had Cate's graphic recordings of our Open
Space gathering laminated and hung in a place where all could gain access
to them. They made for a wonderful ongoing 'talking point' both of those present
on the day and others. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>. We greatly enjoyed Cate's presence in our midst.
She is a lovely spirit. (I would add that she often plays a flute
when people are arriving). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You can see some of her early recordings done
several years ago - her skills have developed considerably since that time - and
her comments on the value of conversational processes at: <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While Cate moved from Adelaide to live in southern
Tasmania a few years ago and I to Hong Kong, there are good prospects
of our teaming up again soon. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wonder if this story 'triggers' a thought in you:
This is lovely stuff and I know just the person - or how to find such a person -
who may be happy to work with me ...?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Go well</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

</B>Working with visual artists at an Open Space<BR><BR>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><BR>-- <BR>CHRIS CORRIGAN<BR>Consultation
