Calling all visual artists and writers:
The next SPARK project begins May 27, 2009, and we want you to join us!
THE NITTY GRITTY:
So how exactly does this work?
The group is made up of writers and visual artists who trade work and then produce something in their own genre/medium inspired by the other’s work. This could be literal (i.e., a creative nonfiction essay on how a painting made the author feel) or not. The goal, in my mind, is for us to respond to another’s work in whatever way we’d like.
To begin, you tell me you want to take part. I match you with a partner. You then send me and your partner, via email, an inspiration piece. Your inspiration piece will likely be something you have already written or created.
Partner pairs’ resulting work–art and writing–will then get posted on a web site akin to this one.
ARTISTS: Because your work will appear online, it must be reproducible in photographs. This doesn’t mean it can’t be a sculpture or three-dimensional, however, just that you will need to take one or more digital photos and send them to me in JPG form.
WRITERS: Written pieces can be no longer than 1,500 words.
TIMELINE/DEADLINES: The project spans 10 days, and the deadline for completed pieces is Friday, June 5th.
