[edit] Tree Hugger Project

Tree Hugger Project (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The organization doesn't seem notable. No refs save its homepage.  Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  14:27, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Delete per lack of significant coverage from independent sources. Corpx 17:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep apparently gets coverage in press about contemporary art, including Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), and inspires events in countries that have trees. Mandsford 21:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This article was proposed for deletion last month by this user and declined by Wikipedia administrator. Wiktor Szostalo is an artist whose work is recognized worldwide.This project is a collaborative work of environmental art, distinctly different from the main body of work associated with the artist. Although the project was begun fairly recently, numerous references are cited within the article. The project is international in scope with installations having taken place via sponsorship in several different countries.--Harryjoy 15:25, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep There has been much more media coverage than noted on the page. Among others: The Project was featured twice in 2006 by an international on-line art magazine Art MoCo featuring modern contemporary art news, in the program of the Center for Contemporary Art at Palac Ujazdowski, Warsaw, Poland, several TV and radio station in Poland including national culture news aired from Warsaw in October of 2006. In 2006 the couple was interviewed live on "St. Louis On The Air", by KWMU, a National Public Radio associate. A full page photograph of the project with a short article about the Project was published in 2006 in Earth First!, an international magazine on radical ecology, with following around the world. A photograph of the Project with biographical notes on both Wiktor Szostalo and Agnieszka Gradzik just appeared in "Latarnia Morska" a culture/literary magazine distributed nationally in Poland. In March 2007 the THP won a national on-line competition organized by a New York City based organization "Art For Progress".It has been invited to the Burning Man festival this year which also awarded the Project a grant for the installation which will be seen by ca. 40,000 people. An interiew with Agnieszka Gradzik conducted in July 2007 upon completion of the Stadt Park installation in Vienna, by one of the Vienna cultural magazine is to be published soon, title temporarily unknown. A large article with several photograpfs is about to be published in the Landscape Architecture Magazine, (USA, with international circulation). According to a new press release several new installations are planned internationally: "An Environmental Nativity" in Alabama this winter, several large installations in the Orlando/Tampa area in Florida in the Spring of 2008, and pending funding, a large installation is scheduled for 2008/9 in India, with the participation of several environmental groups from around the world, to commemorate Chipko Women. A documentary film of the Chipko Women Tribute is also planned. It is hard to disagree that Tree Hugger Project Wikipedia article should be more thourough in listing of more of the above references, but since it is still "under construction" some patience might be needed. I believe this on-going Project is very "notable" and deserves its own, separate entry in Wikipedia.--User:balticusa 02:50, 7 August 2007 (UTC) User's second edit.--13:10, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
