book, an art project
Posted: May 24th, 2010 | Author: dave | Filed under: design, inspiration | Comments Off“For thirty-six weeks, a sketchbook was sent in random order between four artists: two in Brooklyn, two in Belfast. Every Wednesday, one participant would receive book. The following Monday it was sent out, giving each artist five days to complete a spread in response to the one that preceded it.”
You can view the book here. There is commentary for each page, recorded while the artists were together and drinking, and it might be the best part of the exhibit. (You might have to click the ‘listen’ button a few times to get it to go.)
Accompanying this page (week 14): “My direct response was: fate can go to hell. You can always work through fate. You can work through good luck, you can work through bad luck, you can work through it all.”
Week 16 has a great story about 29,000 rubber ducks floating in the Bering Straits.
