The Book

For thirty six weeks a sketchbook was sent in random order between four artists- two in Brooklyn, two in Belfast. Every Wednesday one participant would receive the book, the following Monday it was sent out, giving each designer five days to complete a spread in response to the one that preceded it. A small portion of each entry extends onto the one that preceded it. Beyond this, there was no communication between the artists concerning the content of the book during its making. Book's first trip across the Atlantic was on 2 June, 2003. Its final trip was on 2 February, 2004. By the time it was completed, Book had travelled over six thousand miles. Book can be viewed at www.lookatbook.com. Such an inspiring idea, would be such a pleasure to own the original book! The same idea could perhaps be done on an even larger scale sending one book all around the world to different famous artists in different countries, or even on a smaller scale at The University of Leeds design school!
