The second issue of the Ideas Catalogue was launched at the Sacha Design Showroom in October 2006 by The Honourable Brett Anthony Christian, Minister for Ideas.

Issue Two is a limited edition of 200 and contains ideas submitted by readers, both artists and non-artists.

Idea Cookies served at the launch gave enthusiasts quick ideas to carry out on the spot or when they got home, and sometimes contained one instruction that contributed to a larger group activity that came together at a precise moment. Below is the "Plate Dance" which occurred with the concurrent ideas:

"At 7.35pm ask for two plastic plates from the sales desk lady",

"At 7.35pm request Can Can music at the bar" and

"Ask any middle-aged lady with braids and a stripy-sleeved top to entertain the crowd".

Founding Editor, Gabrielle de Vietri and The Honorable Brett Anthony Christian, Minister for Ideas, launch the second issue of the Ideas Catalogue.


Over the course of the evening, actors carried out one of the ideas submitted by designer, Tamarin Morley, as a free sample. The idea, "Posing as Charity Workers", instructed the actors to approach people asking if they "had a minute" and proceed to tell them their initial impression of that person, any observations or assumptions they may have made about that person, or give them any advice they deem necessary. They were to be honest, but tactful, and give rather than collect information.

Ideas Catalogue: Issue Two Launch Announced!!

Thursday October 26 2006
6.30pm - 8.30pm
at the SACHA Design Showroom
182 Johnston Street, Fitzroy
Victoria, Australia

REFRESHMENTS SERVED
Admission free, all welcome.

Issue Two will be officially unveiled by the Minister for Ideas, The Hon. B. Anthony Christian. To get a taste of the ideas within, there will be idea samplers and selected ideas will be realised by artists circulating within the venue. The launch will also be the first opportunity to contribute ideas to Issue Three, to be published in 2007.

Issue Two contains ideas submitted by enthused readers from all over the world! We have ideas for artworks, events, exhibitions and interventions, as well as business ideas, ideas on how to behave, live, pay off your bills, be a total prat, keep your friends, save the earth... and a few alternative ways to use sugar.

There are crap ideas and great ideas. Some are deadly sincere and others bitterly ironic. You'll find fantasy and hope, ideas of political change and social comment...

The launch of Issue Two will not only be the unveiling of the publication, but also the first opportunity to purchase ideas contained within the catalogue and submit ideas for Issue Three.
