DESCRIPTION:
Recently, Liaisons from 10 selected local and international collaborative art groups have 'camped-out' at the BASEKAMP space in Philadelphia, during a 4-day Strategic Planning Weekend for "Plausible Artworlds", the large-scale international convention and exhibition project envisioned to be hosted in Philadelphia during 2008.

The Strategic Planning Weekend was constructed as an experimental conference center, with useful and disruptive interfaces developed by the artists to aid in the meeting and planning process. Intensive planning sessions detailing modes of practices and collaborative research were held at BASEKAMP, and at various other outdoor and indoor public spaces in Philadelphia. This exhibition, on view for 6 weeks, is a chance for visitors to get a sense of what went on during the big weekend here, and to add to the discussion if they choose.

The planning group will continue to meet online after the hosted weekend in Philadelphia, using an evolving website to contribute discussion and planning (http://plausibleartworlds.org). This team, in communication with other groups, will continue to further develop plans for the future of the "Plausible Artworlds > Convention and Exhibition" planned for 2008.
