T56
[ time-effect ]
This is a project that has slowly changed—in fact that
is the essence of the project itself. I originally started it
as a way to make sure to keep my hands in the studio process,
by making at least one piece a day. Part of the interest lies
in deciding what constitutes a piece of artwork. Sometimes it
is nothing more than a snapshot of a larger work in process.
This project was started on June 13, 2005 and abandoned on September
15, 2005. Looking back a year later, I realized the value in
having these daily visual journal entries and the project resumed
on July 17, 2006.
| This is the first T56: |
 |
a (run on) statement of intention |
T56.050613
Because of a romantic attachment to such ideas as a strong work
ethic, the myth of the artist, daily practice, chopping wood,
carrying water, etc., and following a desire to continuously
make work, to avoid getting stuck, and maintain a belief in
a quick aesthetic, as well as an observation that making bad
work is better than making no work, and that most artistic attempts
end in failure so a quantity is necessary for success, the following
will be done:
I will produce one piece a day, starting today and continuing
for at least one year, which will be collected and documented
as a piece unto itself, which will be referred to as T56 and
each day's piece will be referred to as T56 followed by the
date, which will follow any number of aesthetics or ideas, which
may contain seeds for larger, more ambitious pieces, but where
each day’s piece will be complete unto itself, i.e. will
be a completed work, something I would stand by. |
