"5.9-by-8.5-inch Exhibition"
Selecting one of sketchbooks from my drawing project Equivocal Landscape*
Publishing the same format (5.9 x 8.5 in. and 72 images of 144 pages) book as the sketchbook of Equivocal Landscape (at least 72 copies)
Placing the book in print at 72 different bookshops on the globe
Exhibiting only one image per day for 72 days. There must be a different image in each bookshop, which means that there are all image of the book shown totally around the globe of the day.
Making up the project HP in Facebook.
Announcing details of the bookshop locations and updating the image at each location every day in HP. However, there is no information about where the book is placed in each bookshop. It might be changed periodically. Participants can make comments, opinions and exchanging information in HP.
It would be available to order the book in print via HP. The price has not been decided yet.
Instead of purchasing the book in print, a participant would be able to receive the unique art book with the artist's sign after collecting 72 different images at the bookshop(s) by his or her own way and uploading them to HP.
*Equivocal Landscape is a series of drawings with dots and lines made in sketchbooks. I started the project in 1998, and am currently working on Sketchbook Vol. 47 (May 2011). When I started the project, I intended to draw a “tree of the day” everyday of the year. After more than ten years, Equivocal Landscape has developed into a work engaged with place, or the “location” of a given day. And it now depicts my experiences of the day as the “word of a given day.” My experiences on the day may not always be clearly defined, but I can always describe them with images, although they look ambiguous or ephemeral or immaterial. It is difficult to describe these images by ordinary language. What I aim to draw in Equivocal Landscape is an abstract visual language to depict what I experienced. In this ongoing project, I have produced at least one drawing every day. This has resulted in a massive accumulation of drawings, numbering more than three thousand. The pages of the sketchbooks have no narrative connections, but time runs through the pages chronologically.
