The 2011 Project is a new, large-scale piece where I created a map of the entire year. The year was mapped as I created a piece of art for each day of 2011. Now that the 365 pieces are completed, it will be shown as an installation in 2012.
The work will is made up of 365 individual, mixed media pieces, each 4”x4” (10x10 cm) in size. Each piece was done as a reflection of an individual day.
In 2012 the result will be a single piece of work to be made up of 365 smaller pieces. The work will be approximately 120” wide by 75” high. I will install the individual pieces, but the idea with the work is that there will be no single order in which they should be installed. The work is to be installed and shown in at least one location(s) in 2012.
After the work has been installed and exhibited in 2012, the 365 individual pieces will be distributed. Mainly the pieces will be distributed to the individuals and groups that have supported the project. The small, individual pieces are not being gifted to supporters. Rather, the idea is to ask supporters to hold and act as curators of the pieces. At future date(s), at least 10 years later, an attempt will be made to have some of the pieces temporarily returned for further installations. I see the components as a kind of time capsule.
Prints are now available with a selection of pieces from the 2011 Project. |
