TEMP CHEK x BASEL [2022]

DEC 2022

MISSION:  RECONNAISSANCE

OBJECTIVE 1:  PROOF OF IMPLEMENTATION

OBJECTIVE 2:  BUILD RELATIONSHIPS

According to this tweet, let’s just say, ‘mission accomplished’: https://twitter.com/Brenna_inc/status/1599288715955752960/photo/1

There were so many logistical reasons why it was impossible to get to Art Basel. The line between what’s practical vs. what’s only “potential” can easily blur, but building is a labor of action.  We calculated the cost  of Art Basel , and regardless of the barriers, we went.

“We” refers to ‘us’, the force of nature, that is, “TEMP CHEK”.  Although not all members were able to physically attend,  “we”, as a collective mind”, went to Miami, FL to attend Art Basel. With the support of some saintly contributors from our JuiceBox campaign, we made it!  ** **

As you can see, it’s been a busy recent number of weeks.  There’s no denying the value potential in what has been fostered.  It’s a shame some of these relationships may never materialize into much beyond a quick ‘hello’, but that’s how this thing works… unless you take action.  Between now and the next TEMP CHEK meetup, build a relationship.  With so many having been recently created, take action to make sure you keep in touch with at least one relationship.  Maybe by then, we’ll know when to expect our next IRL event.
