Bio
......the london project.........Number 70. October 2008. © Natasha Newton 2008 ..Leon Milo, an American composer and percussionist living in Paris, France, and Natasha Newton, a visual artist from England, met on MySpace on 28th April 2006 when Leon stumbled upon Natasha's page and decided to send a message telling her how much he liked her artwork. Natasha also admired Leon's music. For many months they inspired eachother, and now they are working together for the first time on a project about the city of London. During the course of several visits to the capital they will collect sounds and images from all over London. Leon will then take these sound recordings - some made in the Underground, others on the street, or in museums, galleries, parks, pubs and restaurants - and Natasha will take the photographs and sketches she has made, and they will work together on a project combining image with sound. ..Their eventual aim is to have an installation at a gallery where they will show paintings and drawings, photography (both digital and Polaroid), soundscapes and music, all inspired and based upon the city of London. ......Space EC1. July 2008. © Natasha Newton 2008 ....Can you help us?.. ..Obviously to get a project like this up and running will take a lot of our time and resources. We have been to London several times to work on the project since April 2007 and so far we've funded all of these trips ourselves. As you can imagine, the costs soon add up! We are very enthusiastic about this project and want to be able to turn all of our months of research and work into an interesting and beautiful gallery show/installation. But we've decided we may need some help in doing this, and this is where you come in. If you decide to help us, we will always offer you something in return. Whether it's a mention in the 'thank you' section of our exhibition catalogue, or by using your company logo on our flyers, posters, catalogue, or any other promotional material. We would even consider payment in the form of original artwork, signed photographs taken for the project, or musical composition, if you really help us out with something big! Those are just a few ideas, we will discuss everything on an individual basis. If you feel you may be able to help in any of the ways listed below, please contact us here on MySpace. We look forward to hearing from you...Many thanks,..Leon & Natasha (the london project.)....We need:......*People to help with the promotion of the project and show.....Do you run a magazine or a popular art website where you could give us some coverage, either by writing an article about us and the project, or by offering us advertising space?....*Galleries.....If you are aware of any London galleries or possible spaces where we could stage our exhibition, please get in touch with us and let us know, or pass on the contact details if you have any.....*Printers.....We will need a good printing service as we intend to produce a brochure/catalogue to accompany the show, and also flyers and invitations etc. We may also need someone to help with the layout and design. Perhaps you're a graphic design student who would love to gain some experience this way? You will be credited in the catalogue for your work, and it would look great on your CV!..If you believe you can help in any of the ways listed above, we would be delighted to hear from you. ......Bayswater Puddle.
