•2010/2011—Exhibition in Breda, Netherlands. Program Director: Tina Matulessy. Laura Crow will begin the communication process with Tina’s supervisor regarding the flat artwork and consideration of the costume designer as artist. In order to tie directly to the area, Nic Ularu suggested development of a concept for the exhibition that renderings be based upon a classical painting important to the history of Breda. Laura suggested that costume designs could be based in the 17th century, at the height of their Power, but from a modern view point. This would expand the request for entries to include renderings done for Moliere plays, and broaden the potential base. The working group could commit to finding a way to sketch the images from Breda’s 17th century past, based on historic paintings.
