About 100 Days
One Hundred Days is a summer collaborative project put into motion by artist volunteers. The history is pretty simple. The first One Hundred Days began as a collaboration between Carianne Garside and Steve Ersinghaus that resulted in a pretty cool book available on Blurb and wildly fun gallery showing at Tunxis Community College. Carianne painted a watercolor a day and I followed her painting with a poem interpreted from the painting. The joining was demanding, fun, a great opportunity to problem solve.
The 2009 One Hundred saw a larger project, which began everyday with a story written by Steve Ersinghaus and followed, this time, by Carianne Garside, as we decided to flip the 2008 procedure. We had fifteen other collaborators join in, from fiction writers, poets, photographers, designers, and programmers. That project can be found here.
For 2010, we’d like to continue the tradition with John Timmons starting off the summer work with a short film. It would be fantastic if people who’d like to take part in One Hundred Days 2010 chose to develop a daily project that follows John’s work or other work that develops from it. We’d love to see how a larger body of work develops, like a massive root and plant system from either the films or other work that develops from the daily films. In both years, self-constraint, like the confines of a sonnet, really opened up the flow. Sure, it’s the old rhizome metaphor.
