LINES & SHAPES, THE THEME
« Previous Main Next »
shown: a sample diptych from my L&S V1 project.
hello out there.
well i just want to say thank you again for your excitement and support of our LINES & SHAPES. really!!
we're nearly sold out of the numbered first edition {for those who still want volume one no worries, the second edition is available directly after this first and it's just the same, but only unnumbered} and we can't wait to get our book into your hands.
today just a small word about why our books have a visual theme ...
if you read the website you know that each book, in this first series of 6, will have a different visual theme. the artists get their assignment and then create work as a reaction to this theme. lena and i liked this idea best {over the some 50 other ideas we had!} because we felt it really built a true sense of community ... all parts working to make a whole. and really, how often do artists get to create work that they don't have to worry about selling, don't have to worry will look enough like their 'other work' and all the while pairing it up next to other amazing artists?!
we hope through L&S that we'll be able to introduce you to some artists you don't know as well as show you new work from artists whom you might already love.
tomorrow a few last words about L&S, for now, and then friday onto flickr favorites ... and next week a shop update of my own! this is fun.
cheers!

1 question: how will you go about choosing artists to feature in it?
just curious (...for obvious reasons :))

I agree with you, Making art for the sake of loving to make art is the best feeling and is so rewarding in non-monetary ways.
looking forward to V1.
