What is on your bucket list? The
Before I Die project at Redux Studio invites you to add your goals to their list in chalk.
Redux Contemporary Art Center is proud to present,
Before I Die…, the 6th mural to go on the facade of the building. This project
was organized by Nicole Diefenbach and inspired by Candy Chang’s Before I
Die… project in New Orleans. We will transform the side of the Redux
building into a giant chalkboard wall. The community is encouraged to
visit Redux any time of the day and write their dreams and aspirations
in chalk. Before I Die… is an interactive public art project where we
can discover the ambitions of the people around us.
The mural will be unveiled at the end of Redux’s 2nd Annual
Professional Development Day, lead by visiting artist Susan kae Grant.
This informational and inspiring workshop focuses on seven strategies
that Grant believes are crucial for preparing yourself for a successful
and satisfying career as an artist. At the completion of the workshop,
participants will have the first opportunity to write their goals on the
blank chalkboard.
OCTOBER – DECEMBER 2011
Making their desires public may help make some of them come true!
ReplyDeleteMine would read "... go to Scotland with my husband." Closely followed by "... win the lottery and travel the world." Not necessarily in that order.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this. Need to check it out in person STAT.
ReplyDeleteI need more space on the wall.
ReplyDelete..to see world peace and the end of hunger for all peoples. I'd like to check some of this out in Greece, too.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Mine would be....to see Jesus coming in the clouds!
ReplyDeleteBruce - putting it in writing is a good reminder to take make it happen I think.
ReplyDeleteMarcheline - The Scotland you can make work and I know you will. I actually bought two lottery tickets on Saturday thinking it would be nice to win before I went on vacation. As always I forgot to check them.
bereccah - Take a picture of it if you write one!
Jack - they keep taking pictures, erasing and letting people add more.
Kate - I like it!
Rachel - A worthy goal :)
Joan - check them now! You have a year, I think (or some rather long set time) to claim your prize if you've won!
ReplyDeleteThis has got to be one of the best ideas ever - I keep changing my bucket list as I get older and my desires change - but I will let you inspire me, Joan, with your great jaunts to fascinating places - see more of the world :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this exhibit. I went back in October and wrote about it here: http://www.holycitysinner.com/2011/10/31/before-i-die-exhibit/
