During the course of the 2011 Project I’ve been experimenting with new media to deconstruct and reconfigure. I’ve basically been looking to do what I do with maps to some new material. Some of the things I have used include vintage postcards, MUNI Fast Passes, junk food wrappers and origami paper. To that end, I’ve had this little book of Bach sonatas waiting for me to get at them with the scissors and exacto knife. I can’t read music, but every time I see old sheet music I just think cut and reconfigure and glue, then repeat. For the first run I’ve added the theatre at Versailles for a framework. And now, for some reason, I feel the need to wear a well-powdered wig today.
The 2011 Project is a work by San Francisco artist Tofu. Each day in 2011 he created a 4”x4” mixed media piece. The finished project was made up of 365 smaller mixed media pieces. In 2013 the individual pieces will be distributed to project supporters. The project also acted as sketchbook for new ideas, which continue to be incorporated into new work For more information please visit 2011project.com
