Artwork Title : MTtimelog_2010.04.15-05.15 Medium : paper, pen, pins
Description : For the duration of one month, the artist logged all of his life
activity onto a large gallery wall. A minimized portion of his
waking hours was allotted to sitting at a makeshift portable desk
inside the gallery, analyzing his most recent hours of activity and
thought from his life outside the gallery. He analyzed recorded
audio notes and video documentation from his life and filled the
“timelog” on the gallery wall with dense handwritten notes. The
graphic structure of the “timelog” allows for refined levels of
comprehension when viewed from further distances. For the artist,
the function of this overall process is free intuitive creativity
from the meddling of consciousness. He dreams through free action and
analyzes the resulting artifacts and documentation in retrospect to
seek meaning. This gallery wall project was an experiment to see if the
process of introverted analysis could survive extroverted exhibition.
