INEDITO About to arrive from Hong Kong! Inedito a punto de llegar de Hong Kong!

Update #6 · Nov 11, 2012 · 2 comments

Dear Backers! 

It has been a while since I have been in touch, but I am here to give you an update! from june to September I was busy working my show that opened September 21st at Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil here in Mexico City tittled Nunca sera mas Joven que este dia (You'll never be younger than this day). I am attaching some images and the invitation, in case you come by Mexico City, it will be up until January 13th of 2013. It is a revision of my work of 15 years and it includes 6 series of work, one of them is INEDITO. It was very intense and wonderful working with two first class curators Ruth Estevez (now off to LA to direct Red Cat) and Alfonso Morales who aside from being a historian, writer and curator, also edits the prestiged photography magazine called Luna Cornea. While I was busy editing, printing and seeing to every detail of the show, INEDITO was off at the printer in Hong Kong and now it is soon to arrive here in my home so I can send it to all of my backers. I am already receiving your home addresses to where I must send the book, and I can tell you this will happen in November. Thank you all for your generous support and being a part of this amazing adventure!

Take care

Yvonne

Queridos Amigos

Ha sido un tiempo desde que he estado en contacto, pero estoy aquí para darles una actualización de lo que ha pasado en los últimos meses. Entre Junio y Septiembre estuve muy ocupada con mi exposición que abrió 21 de septiembre en el Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil aquí en la Ciudad de México. Les adjunto algunas imágenes y la invitación, pues seguirá abierta al publico hasta el 13 de Enero del 2013. Si tienen tiempo de pasar a la ciudad por favor no dejen de ir a verla. Es una revisión de mi trabajo de 15 años e incluye 6 series de trabajo, uno de ellos es Inédito. Fue muy intenso y maravilloso trabajar con dos curadores primera clase Estévez Ruth (ahora camino a Los Ángeles para dirigir Red Cat) y Alfonso Morales que además de ser un historiador, escritor y curador, también es el editor de la revista de fotografía Luna Córnea. Mientras estaba ocupada en la edición, impresión y ver todos los detalles del la exposición, inédito estaba en la imprenta en Hong Kong y ahora esta por llegar aquí a mi casa para que yo pueda enviar sus copias a toda la gente que me apoyo en la campaña de KS. Ya estoy recibiendo sus domicilios a donde debe enviar el libro, y te puedo decir esto ocurrirá en noviembre. Gracias a todos por su apoyo generoso y ser parte de esta increíble aventura! Muchos saludos Yvonne

The first rewards/ Las primeras recompensas...

Update #5 · Jul 10, 2012 · comment

Hello everybody! Just a note tu keep you updated on my advances! I have just finished printing the images for the first rewards (15 and 25dlls) and they will start to go out next week. I hope you like them, I think they look amaizing!

I used the scans that were made for the book by a wonderful pre-press man called Emilio Breton. Some of the images I had never seen from a scanner other than a small 500dll epson, and seeing them now from an Imacon is like seeing them for the first time! So, even if I have waited 6 years to see this finished, it has been worth every day! I think the work looks fresh and am excited to share it with you. 

Also, on the same note, the political climate that we are living in Mexico now, is giving the work the possibility of a very different reading from what it could have been such long time ago, so there are good things coming! 

Take care and I will be in touch! 

Yvonne 

Hola a todos! Sólo una nota para mantenerlos informados sobre mis avances! Acabo de terminar de imprimir las imágenes de las primeras recompensas (15 y 25dlls) y van a empezar a salir la próxima semana.

 Espero que les guste, creo que se ven increíbles! Utilice los scans se hicieron para el libro, por un pre-prensa increible llamado Emilio Bretón. Algunas de las imágenes nunca las había visto mas que escaneadas de una maquina Epson de 500dlls, y ahora verlos en un escaner Imacon (de mucho mas de 500 dlls!!) es como verlos por primera vez! Así que, aunque he esperado 6 años para ver este final, ha valido la pena la espera! Creo que el trabajo se ve fresco y estoy emocionada de compartirlo con ustedes. 

 Además de eso, el clima político que estamos viviendo en México ahora le está dando a la obra la posibilidad de una lectura muy diferente a la que podría haber tenido hace seis años, así que vienen cosas buenas! Muchas gracias y seguiré en contacto!

Hola a todos! Sólo quería mantenerlos actualizados sobre como se va moviendo esta campana. Estamos ya en un 73%, pero sólo tiene 45 horas para cumplir la meta! 

Estoy trabajando duro en los correos electrónicos y otros a la gente que conozco quiere entrarle, pero tal vez no han tenido tiempo. Si tienes un momento, por favor envíe un correo electrónico a cualquier persona que pienses que podría estar interesado en este proyecto, ademas de el apoyo generoso que ya todos me han dado, se los agradecere tambien!

En caso de que ya se lo hayan mencionado a alguien, por favor recuerdenselo! Es muy comun que se nos olviden las cosas pues todos andamos ocupados.. Podemos lograrlo! Gracias a todos nuevamente por ser parte de este grupo, y espero estemos celebrando juntos el haber logrado este proyecto!
