we have recently received an official sound complaint. our landlord is very supportive of us, he has been a great landlord and a great friend, but he is forced to ask that we cancel events for the next three months, after which time he feels that we can begin more consciously through changed policies and soundproofing.

our other option is to move, but that would also necessitate that we cancel shows, so the only responsible thing for me to do is let everyone know and work together on forming and following through with ideas to help zero-point evolve.

this is sad news. i am so sorry. i have gone to every length to make sure events happen as they are scheduled, but the only thing i can do is go forward with the new temporary boundaries in mind. i respect our landlord and there is no point in trying to continue events under these conditions.

it is my job now to coordinate the collaboration, to make an environment, to incubate the changes and new ideas, so with core help we will figure out how to make the place respectful of the neighbors. i want for us to look back on this day and be thankful that we had this time to grow an already burgeoning art community.

that is my vision in this upheaval.

in pondering zero-point’s future, i see this as an opportunity to make this space even more of a daily full-art experience. we can focus on things we can host that are quieter and have less ‘crowd’ while we make the necessary changes to the place and our ways of doing things so that we can host events again under more appropriate circumstances.

the space has functioned as a successful art gallery for one night events. recently a friend of ours sold five pieces in a night! it could be a change where we can have gallery style hours, or earlier / quieter events. we also have people volunteering to host workshops and classes. life drawing or filming, screen-printing, photography, yoga, natural living, circuit-bending, dance, writing etc. whatever you would like to take or give.

i am also looking for visual artists who would like to join a zero-point collective in shares that would allow them to keep their tools & supplies in their own spot and then they could have a schedule of so many hours in a week to work in the space. also there could be showcases for individuals to display a whole body of work, which should be accessible to artists as much as possible.

would you or anyone you know who has skills that could be taught be interested in hosting workshops / classes at zero-point? would you perhaps know or be an artist who would like an expansive well-lit studio environment. we need to make a solid june schedule that will keep us going. june, july and august. and once that is established we can continue nourishing the quiet art while slowly re- integrating aspects of the sonic.

i believe, with the help of all involved, and the excitement and energy of people coming to experience zero-point, we can use this time to expand the art environment that is already wonderful.

there will always be art wherever we are. zero-point is about a community that has grown so quickly and with amazing experiences. i love this place because of all the people who have come here who have been kind and supportive. i am so grateful and inspired, and i believe in the people who are part of this, which is why this is just a place without the people, without the art it is a shell. whatever we have to do we will do to keep zero-point alive - through whatever evolution is ahead.

i appreciate your collaboration. thank you…. please feel free to pass this on to people who may be interested, and i will do everything i can do to help make creative alternatives real.

love & ruckus.
