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.
