"Port Richmond artist Rylee Eterginoso wants you to write a break-up letter - addressed to anyone or anything - for a Dear John compilation
she's assembling in the name of art. . ."Are there any (relationships) you wish you could just break up with?" asks the break-up artist, soliciting craftily written pink-slips from the public at large. "Maybe you gotta kick procrastination to the curb, or that Dollar Menu really takes a toll on you, or your relationship with Facebook has run its course . . .
Ms. Eterginoso plans to work with local filmmaker Geoff Celis to turn the letters she collects into a series of short films. She also will compile a book, formally or informally, cataloguing the responses. With solicitations already posted on Craigslist and Staten Island's sicolab.org Web site, and postcards distributed at Manhattan's Pianos and The Starting Line clothing store and at the Cargo Cafe, St. George, Ms. Eterginoso also plans to seek contributors from out of state and hopes to get 200 responses. "
