What is the Project “60 Days”? In the beginning of May 2010, New York City based public art collective, Illegal Art, will be distributing over 100 blank journals of all different sizes and shapes throughout the city to passersby. Each journal has been stamped with a custom message: This journal is yours for the next 60 days: from today until (date stamp). You may use it as you please to record your life and experiences in whatever means you desire. Your journal can be filled anonymously or signed. At the end of the 60 days, please return the journal to Illegal Art. . If you would like us to send you a self-addressed stamped envelope, you may email us at info@illegalart.org with your name and address and we will do so. Your journal is one of many, and is a part of a collective art project. Each one counts. We appreciate your participation. Illegal Art info@illegalart.org www.illegalart.org P.O. Box no. 44 New York, NY 10002 Journals reflect and document our lives. Entries can range from the mundane to the extraordinary or from the memorable to the painful; the moments that make it into our journals are memorialized and get a second life. This can be a grocery list or a photograph, a poem or a doodle, it is up to the author. We will wait 3 months to receive journals through the mail. They will be displayed in a public space, exhibiting the disparity of experience and methods in which the journals were filled. This project was made possible by generous donations of journals by Chronicle Books in San Francisco and Penguin Group USA in New York City. |
