Slightly divergent but: artist intellectual media duke it out
Rach, thought this had some bearing on our park bench pow-wow today, and generally an entertaining watch!

Title, Image, Sound-Bite and Text
All the Cunning Stunts
All the Cunning Stunts is a multi-voiced collaborative text and image-based work which tackles the confounding intricacies of lesbian subjectivity through objectivity - like a medal-winning swim team.
All the Cunning Stunts is a medley-voiced collaborative exhibition viewable across eight light-boxes in Courtney Place, Wellington. Four New Zealand artists have developed All the Cunning Stunts to coincide with the advent of the 2nd Asia Pacific Outgames and in response to a curatorial brief to address ‘contemporary homosexuality’. The potential of objects, images and language to linger on the seen, unrepresentative, notional, fictional, unmediated, idealistic, real, and confounding intricacies of female same-sex experience, take the lead in the work. All the Cunning Stunts aims to emerge from today’s chlorinated slipstream as a medal-winning swim team.

Good Morning! Great to see all the activity that happened while we were dreaming! I don't want to spend too much more time on this press stuff, as I think we are really close, and trying to make small tweaks between five folks can take perhaps more time than is needed at this stage..... so Clare and I put all our highlights together in one post to get a solid sense of what is accumulating.
Our preferences once seeing it all together would be for:
1. All the Cunning Stunts (has more of an adventurous narrative implied)
2. Liz's image + caption? (seems like the clearest and bestest option to us, and something that parallels our plans for the light boxes in a confident way)
3. Sound bite (MJ's last version!)
4. Longer text (Really love your longer text Rachel -- esp. clorinated slipstream which will be my name of choice when I finally start my death-metal band -- and I made a few small changes which you can see in the text above)
As the deadline for this is while Clare and I are sleeping, we are both cool for Liz, Rachel and Mary-Jane to make a final call about the title/image/sound-bite/text. Preferences as per this post, but both Clare and I are super happy for it to be in your handses.
Alright!
soundbite and soundbite+
I like the soundbite as preferred by Marnie, Clare and M-J (just posted)!
In terms of a slightly more in-depth offering for other media, such as a press release, I present the following. It also includes the words, 'female same-sex experience' as an alternative to lesbian subjectivity...thought I'd offer something up for linguistic debate. I'm happy with the word lesbian, though feel 'female same-sex experience' reflects what I want to be most vocal about in this show, rather than an identity/category politics (though that of course comes into it!), which 'lesbian' suggests for me.

Soundbite II and title
All the Cunning Stunts is a multi-voiced collaborative text and image-based work which tackles the confounding intricacies of lesbian subjectivity through objectivity - like a medal-winning swim team.
I have just changed my mind and prefer 'All the Cunning Stunts' - although it doesn't look as nice typographically as 'All Cunning Stunts' but whatever the consensus is, I'll run with it.
This is a great soundbite - I have just tweaked it slightly by adding a dash and editing out 'set to'. Loving the sporty language!
Now where are we at with the postergirl image?
