It seems like it might be a fun idea. It would be a lot of work, but it would be cool to have a design show featuring nt'ers from different cities/countries around the world. Maybe it would have a theme, maybe it would just be past works. Maybe it would just be online since there's so many web folk. I don't know, just seems like a lot of talent here...
Thoughts?

advertising for NT is what it'd be.

I didn't say I was gonna curate it :P

ok - i'll curate, you rent a venue and provide beer.
BUT - I think it's a nice idea. I don't think the web would do it justice, but a "space" might.
Not sure how though...

too many prima donnas 'ere mate ;)

yeah

I once thought so, but I don't know if I feel that way anymore...

I believe there's only maybe 15% of talent worth seeing on this site. Most of the people on nt are either under age and still at school or they've just started art college and think their Gods gift, i.e. Derek !!!
The rest of the people won't have time for anything like this...

Do it up.
I agree that a 'place' would be the best display, but only a few would be able to make for the actual show. Most of us don't live in NYC and not everyone has the means to travel.

That's why I'm thinking the interweb might be better, the logistics of having a physical space would be silly...

have a flash mob exhibition.
Pick a huge empty wall...everyone has 2 minutes to paste up their work along with a small info plaque and then bail.
its illegal and fun.

OK then. What about this, there was a show in Ohio or Minnesota like a year ago that had something to do with the Midwest, and it featured, Midwestern designers, so the theme of the work revolved around that.
This could be by participation basis, with a theme of "news today" doesn't even have to be about this place per say...then we could find anyone interested in finding a space in their city and hosting the exhibition and then have it tour, so it wouldn't be centric to one local, but it would still be intrinsically NT..

a NT website where anyone can place his work!

but if it was online where would the cheap alcohol go? that's the only reason anyone goes to art and design shows ;)

Exactly.I'm sure we could find a sponser too ;)
I like the tour idea.
A low budget would be a challenge
- JazX0
lot of talk on that in past, never really comes to fruition.
- mr_snuggles0
I optimistically think that maybe some of the advertisers would have something to gain by kicking in some cash to sponser such an event. Each city the show stopped at could feature works from one or two of the NT authors, that were from that city, as well...
This NT thing is about a cutlure that is gaining more notoriety and recognition all the time. I know in 5 - 10 years time I'll be reading Grafik or Creative Review looking at a fellow nt'ers work and say, "huh, I used to chat with that guy on NT"
- JazX0
that's a shitload of work you're talking about though. Good luck with that. :)
