A tentative schedule

A week or so ago, Alex, Carson and I went through our list of possible sites. From this list we created a 5 year plan for EbM. The majority of these sites are still in the negotiating stage. And some that are close to confirmed are not reflected here, because we are thinking of them as sites we can slot in once we get a feel for how busy 2012 and 2013 are.
In some sense I feel this posting is premature, but ultimately, I think it is good for us to share the scope of the project. In every case, we have established connection with the sites on this list, and our initial discussions lead us to believe they are realistic possibilities.

2010:
Bledsoe, Texas with artist Heidi Hove
Portland, OR

2011:
San Francisco, CA
Holyoke, MA
Baja, Mexico
Portland, OR
WA
TX

2012:
Crete, Greece
Mantino, IL
Cairo, Egypt
Portland, OR
NH
WA
TX

2013:

Evanston, IL
Portland, OR
NH

Denmark
Canada

2014:
Portland, OR
WA
TX
NH
HI
AK
The Philippines

Where only a state is listed, I left out the city because I felt presumption might harm the discussions with landholders. In Hawaii's case we have begun looking for land, but do not have a particular city in mind yet. We are looking for a lava flow.

You may also note that certain locales earn repeated mention. In certain metropolises (and in the case of New England, a national region)  we are attempting to install a sculpture a year for a decade. We hope to work with local government and bike coalitions to create bike paths and bike tours between the EbM artworks as part of sustainable, cultural enrichment.
