Utopia and Dream Currency

After my initial post about the Checkpoint Dreamyourtopia project on Burning Mans eplaya forum http://eplaya.burningman.com/viewtopic.php?t=23658
a few weeks ago a lot has happened...........

Quite a few people have mailed me offering their support. The Checkpoint Dreamyourtopia Website being one of the results. Big credits to Scotto for that one! People like him and many others make one realize that Utopia may rear its beautiful head not only for one week in a harsh desert environment, but Utopian bits and pieces are shattered all over the Globe. Sometimes they might even be waiting for you around the Corner. Other times you might have to create them yourself, but it's all doable.

First of April I am flying to the US for a first preparatory visit. Visiting friends in New Mexico, with whom I want to work on the Dreamyourtopia project and afterwards driving to Texas to present the Project on the 19th of April at the opening exhibition of Central Track, the Artist Residency of the Dallas University in Texas, where I'll be staying later this year.

Anyone who is interested in helping me with this project can always mail me using the form on the Dreamyourtopia website. At the moment I'm especially looking for a printer to help me with printing the Passport to the Land of your Dreams.

At the same time Thera Hillenaar, costume designer and my girlfriend, is flying to Bali to get the costumes made for the Checkpoint guards and interrogators.

Apart from all the help already offered to me, of course in the real world I'll also need a lot of money to make this Dream come True. So I decided to print my own Dream Currency (see image above).............
