JOURNAL LAUNCH: CALL

AN IDEA IN PROGRESS

Ready to send out another journal into the world to witness and holdthe marks made on it by artists, writers, be-ers everywhere.
Its a blank journal.
You may do what you like in it.
Save destroy it.
Or someone else's contribution to it.
If you would like to work on it, leave me a comment here or email me. I'll add you to the list to send out the journal.
* UPDATE

I have to say this:
Part of the aim of this project is to build a group of artists/writier/thinkers who connect deeply, explore ideas or concepts, P.L.A.Y. so please commit to this if you would like that. Lets not surfacely scan each others work. Lets try and understand.
Maybe emails often or. promts and responses. or choose a theme for the entire journal.
you choose.

** UPDATE

Once I have the lst complete, I'll post the group you'll be working with (i've got 2 journals going out now, because there are several people and I want to keep fairly small groups.) meaning you'll know the people involved in the same journal as you intimately.

I'll draw two sets o lots for this.

First one will assign a person to each participant for whom you have to make an art shrine in the journal when you receive it.

Art shrines are basically tributes to a person or object. Its can be as elaborate or simple as you like.

You'll get a name and you'll spend the time till you receive your journal discovering more about them, visiting their website, trying to understand them better and then make them a shrine in the journal when you get it.

So each person will have a layout dedicated to them in the journal.

The other draw will give each participant a diferent name. This is the person to whom you have to pass on the journal after you're done.

Keep the journals for no more than 2 weeks, please.

However, within this time frame feel free to create as much in the journal as you like.

Also, "things happen" to us all and we are unable to fulfill commitments we've made. Should this happen, and should you find at any time that you are unable to work on the journals please pass it on to the person after you even if you have not worked on it. At the end of the list (don't worry, there are very few people per journal) I can send it back to you to fill if you are free then.

Thanks.

***UPDATE: please email me at mahimashresthaATgmailDOTcom with your email and postal address so I can get the lst started and get everybody in touch!!

Cafe Journal, the first draft

Ok, this is still an idea in infancy.

• Its a journal- an art journal, but ot necessarily for extensive art.
• It can be just mine or be travelling, in that it will be mailed to people in other parts of the world and they will contribute.
• The essential idea is this:

1. it will necessarily have journal and art entries done in cafes.
2. sketch people around you.
3. include overheard conversation.
4. draw the logo of the cafe, include a picture if you like, the address of the cafe.
5. rate what you ordered and what you liked best about the place.
6. take it to one cafe or as many as you like.
7. maybe set aside 2hours a week to visit a new cafe and do the entry. or visit the same one several times.

when i have more on this, i will post. meanwhile, if you have anything to say, do say it! :)
