color=#000080>working with visual artists ... I would not call
myself an artist, and certainly what we do in an Open Space has little to do
with art, and a lot with listening, understanding, mirroring, showing people
what they say. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#000080>I took part in more than a dozen open spaces, and always
heard that people were glad to have us around. If that is true for many other
forms of meetings as well, for me open space is special, and visualization
seems especially helpful. People go from one session to an other, groups mix and
merge, and we as visualizers can offer some general picture. So everybody can
get a feeling for the whole process and all the different group activities
without beeing in all the groups in flesh and blood.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#000080>The descripion of our work of course describes our technique, . So
if you work with visualizers who work on big wallpapers, some of the following
might be different.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#000080>What we normally do: We draw on little cards format A4, and put
them together with artist tape on the backside in rows of 6 pictures. All these
rows form a picture wall, which stands at a place where everybody passes, in the
foyer for example. Every session gets a new head card, followed by the
pictures from that session.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#000080>We worked with three visualizers once, with Michael Pannwitz, more
often with two in bigger os, or just one visualizer. We sit in the opening
round and draw what we hear, and then bumble around between the groups.
Sometimes one group is so important, that we stay there, more often we follow
our two feet and switch groups inbetween. We found out, that people tend to talk
in circles, so if we sit in a group for 10-15 minutes, we get a feeling for the
group process and its results and some pictures which are satisfying for the
participants. so it is o.k. to move on.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=367245916-11082006><FONT face=Verdana
color=#000080>It is important to stay in contact with the facilitator of the os
process, just to be available if needed. and it is important to be presented at
the beginning, so people don't feel shy if someone comes and sits besides them
drawing. It is important to have time at the end of the day to show the
pictures. We need someone to scan all our pictures and put them into a notebook
with a slight show program (7 sec. per picture is fine) and a beamer, or take
fotos with a digital camera to put them into the slide show, and we need time in
the agenda, where everybody sits relaxed and lets the images of the day flow by.
That normally takes about 7 to 10 minutes.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#000080>After the os there are several possibilities to use the images,
like a picture book, or a virtual picture wall in the net, or a CD for
everybody, or a calendar of the most important ones, or exhibitions, or

<DIV></DIV>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?
