Participation Precedents




'1000 Journals' was an art/social experiment conducted anonymously. Blank journals were planted around a city in bus shelters, parks, toilets etc and inside the journals were minimal instructions to add to the journals, pass them around to others and eventually to return them to an address. A display of these returned journals was exhibited at SFMOMA as part of the 'Art of Participation' exhibition. The public were then encouraged to add more to these journals and to start the process again with a display of new blank books. The aim of the experiment was to encourage participation and to create collaborative art.
