book



This is WAY better than the Moleskine idea!
For thirty-six weeks, a sketchbook was sent in random order between 4 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. A small portion of each entry extends on to the following page. Beyond this, there was no communication between the artists concerning the content of book during its making. book's first trip across the Atlantic was on 2 June 2003. Its final trip was on 2 February 2004. By the time it was completed, book had travelled over sixty thousand miles.
I love journals, they are so inspiring - time is such a luxury. I'm sure we all wish we had the time to paint up some pages for a journal.
