The 52 Project was created by Chrissy Deiger and Brian Ralph Short as a venue for artists to speak to each other; to make things that would not have occurred otherwise occur; to mix media so that it melts, stumbles, smolders, erupts; to both interrupt and prolong the creative process; to enjoy the multitude of ways we have to communicate with each other, to make meaning, to insist and react and be still.
Every week for one year, an artist will post something new to the 52 Project. They have been counseled (gently) to respond to the previous week’s piece: Some of the pieces may be reactions, some may be more direct interpretations, some may seem so loosely connected as to seem, basically, no more related than a duck is to a platypus, but trust us, it’s there.
Come back each week to see what is happening, to be surprised by the individual pieces and by the ongoing dialogue, the whole how-did-we-get-here experiment of the project. We promise beauty, humor, joy, distraction, surprise, big and small issues rendered in big and small ways, and a plurality of exceptional and singular voices.
