& In One Another

Phrases Finished, Exhibiton Info

2011-06-16T14:22:00.000-04:00

Hello all!
As you may have noticed, The Sketchbook project is almost completed! As of June 10th of last week, prompt #30 was announced and the 60 day cycle has commenced. Oh, but we're not nearly done! There is much to do.
We hope you've enjoyed the phrases and look forward to seeing what you've come up with! On that - the exhibition for these works is scheduled:
And In One Another: A Massive Collaborative Sketchbook Project will be on view at The Whoo Space
located at 11 Market St, Northampton MA, from July 6th-July 11th. This event will start at 4pm-8pm.

Please please please mail/send your books (completed or not) by FRIDAY, THE FIRST OF JULY to Adria Sutter @ 245 South Street, Northampton, MA 01060. If you live close to Northampton and find it unnecessary/expensive to mail, contact me ASAP via phone (413-275-8436) or this email and I will come by and retrieve it from you. Additionally, I will be making a trip or two to the North Shore in the next two weeks and will establish a drop-off location for that area. I will keep you all informed of details regarding that excursion.

REGARDING THE EXHIBITION!:
..ALONG WITH YOUR BOOKS, WE NEED FROM YOU:
- Your help to make the space beautiful and cozy! Will you donate interesting, comfortable furniture (chairs, small tables, lamps, funky accoutrement) for the duration of the exhibit? Chairs are most needed, as we want everyone to be able to sit as long as possible, when looking through the books. Pick-up can be arranged to retrieve any items....and to drop them back to you!

- Volunteers for gallery sitting. Pretty standard stuff. You'll be able to look through gorgeous art books the entire time...

- Any fantastic cooks or bakers willing to bring tasty things on opening night? So far, the lovely Ella Flemming has offered to bake a plethora of cupcakes (vegan options!). Bring more cupcakes, a soup, a bread, a salad, a casserole? Anything would be appreciated! Before 4pm on Friday would be best. If you have any specific needs for your food offerings, be in touch.

Keep in Touch! - & In One Another

IMPORTANT! SOME OF YOU HAVE TOLD ME
...that your books are far from completed. Or not good enough yet, etc, etc, etc. I do not want you to fret! But I do not want you to give up. There is still time - and 15 days is plenty. Do not forget: This is your book, and you can do much or as little as you wish within the pages. You could have disregarded the phrases altogether - I want your book for the show. You could have only done a single drawing and ripped out all the other pages of the book - I want it for the show. You may have only drawn pictures of Xena the Warrior Princess on every page - I still want your book for the show. If you truly do not wish to show the work, I will understand, but I will cry. Personally, I know you can do it, or I wouldn't have asked you to do this project. I am so excited to see what you have to express in those pages. I want to see what you need to say.
Be well, Adria

Don't miss out!

& In One Another Returns

2011-02-23T18:21:00.000-05:00

Thanks for being on board with & In One Another!

We're returning for our second year and have made some adaptations from last year. First of note is that we will be doing 30 assignments this time, they will come every other day. We are also looking into automating the texts/emails and blog posts so that they will be available at the same time for everyday that there is an assignment.

This year we are hand making the books this year, we're ordering paper from The Guild Art Supply store here in Northampton, as well as ordering cover stock from the French Paper Company, also via The Guild.

This year we are also opening up the opportunity for people to submit ideas for the actual assignments. Last year the assignments were made up by a group of four people and edited down collectively and with the final edit done by one person. You can write down your suggestions for assignments on the reverse of the form you need to fill out to participate (see PDF download below).

Please do consider that space is limited and it is nothing personal if we don't have the space to include your ideas.

So just to be clear, this is how it all works:

Starting April 6th, we will text/email/post on Facebook and on this blog an assignment every other day for 60 days until May 29th.

Your job is to interpret the assignment in your sketchbook as you see fit.
There are no restrictions in medium. Any one from anywhere may participate

We need you to post mark or deliver your completed book to us by June 5th
for the exhibition of collected books: TBD-Northampton June 2011

To get your sketch book, mail this form and $10 to:
Adria Sutter
245 South St
Northampton MA 01060

Send this form along with your check or money order by March 23
we will notify you via email once we’ve received your form/payment.

Do take note, since we are ordering supplies and making the books our supplies will be limited. If you absolutely wait till March 23rd to sign up, we may have to turn you away if we have run out of books.

Download PDF HERE, download starts automatically.

This year our books will be 6 x 9 inches and lovingly hand made and mailed no later than March 30th.

Please also note that you may select more than one option in terms of how you'd like to get the assignments.

We are also looking into possibly setting up a paypal account so that folks may sign up to participate and pay that way.

Email andinoneanother@gmail.com for questions

Cheers from the Now.For.Art Crew!
Adria, Eben & Katherine

Update

2010-01-30T22:38:00.001-05:00

The last week has been terribly long and stressful but we are getting close.
We had a very large order from Moleskine come in that had been incorrectly filled, the books we got were ruled, despite that we had ordered plain. The next day Eben got a hold of Moleskine and they were very kind and responded very quickly to resolve the situation since we were on a tight time line to get books back to all our participants. Despite how quickly Moleskine got us the correct order, we were burdened with the problem that some people would be getting their books late. Through a group consensus (with the participants), we decided it would be best to push back the day that assignments start.

Assignments will now start February 5th and run till April 7th.

Honestly, I didn't expect so many people to respond to my long winded email, but they did and it made me really grateful to have so many committed people on board. I really can not express how excited I am to have such a great roster of people involved, from all over the united states.

With that said, I will stress again, that I fully encourage people to actively comment on our assignments as they appear on this blog and on our Facebook. This is yet another way for people to be involved, share their thoughts, be able to see each others thoughts and communicate with one another. Another level to develop connections. This will also give us the opportunity to get an understanding of how people feel about things since it's looking like we will run this project again next year and would appreciate the feedback.

I also want to direct people to Now.For.Art, which is the collaborative name under which Adam, Eben and myself organize all these art projects, Papergirl, & In One Another. We also have a Steam Roller Printmaking workshop scheduled for this spring and will also be putting out info on Papergirl Northampton II soon. I will also attempt to update this site with other opportunities for artists. It's worth book marking if you like what we've done so far, as other ideas and projects are in the works!

I really look forward to getting started with the assignments and will be sure to update here if anything comes up between now and February 5th. After that, this blog will strictly be a list of the daily assignments.

Where we're at...

2010-01-26T15:02:00.000-05:00

With less than a week before assignments begin, we are totaling in with 80 participants from all over the united states! This totally rocks because we were realistically anticipating only about 50 doodlers with the high hopes for around 100. We hit a very satisfactory middle ground. A big thank you to everyone who helped us spread the word to get this many people on board.

A Couple Notes,

We are officially in the crunch zone on our end of this project to get books back to everyone on time for our February 1st start date. We are still receiving orders from our sketch book suppliers and mailing them out with prioritization on distance (how far you live from Northampton) and are confident that everyone will get their books on time. If you live in Northampton/Amherst/Hadley, we will most likely be hand delivering your books over this upcoming weekend.

If for any reason you decide you want to change how you receive your assignments just shoot us an email at and.in.one.another@gmail.com and we'll get that straightened out.

Also, if you decide you want your sketch book to remain anonymous, we have all the books numbered and corresponding to a master list of participants. You don't have to put your name anywhere in or on your book if you don't want to because we can track you through this numeric system in order to make sure you get your book back. I will say though, it would be nice if everyone at least signed their 8 "trade" drawings, but that would obviously compromise your anonymity. Do whatever you want, I guess.

Well that is all for now, as per usual, don't hesitate with any questions, see our email address above.

Hope everyone is well and ready to draw like crazy for two months!

Welcome to & In One Another!
