on your mark ...

The Codex Project Instructions and Rules of Play are ready and the drawing will be mailed on Monday morning ! Our two running polls seem to indicate that we should keep this blog public and that the list of names remains a mystery to participants... if you haven't weighed in, please do so now. While you can double click the above image to see the details, I'll post the info here as well :

Rules of Play :


this is a creative exercise :
experiment, embellish, sketch, collage, paint, react to other people’s ideas, start new directions, play… erase, draw over, into, alongside – but always be respectful of the person who drew before you. please feel free to add panels if you run out of room !

this is a communal exercise :
try to be timely. work on the drawing as soon as you receive it. with 21 people in the project, if we each take a week, that’s 5 months until we’re finished !

this is a shared endeavor :
please scan / photograph / photocopy or otherwise document the drawing before you send it so that we can keep a record of its transformation.

Instructions :

1 : check your mailbox…. see drawing …. smile !
2 : post a comment to the blog to let the group know it has arrived safely.
3 : do your thing !
4 : on the sheet provided, list your name, your location, the date + random or related thoughts
5 : scan / photograph / photocopy or otherwise document the drawing [ high resolution, please ]
6 : post images to the blog
7 : wrap drawing carefully between 2 sheets of cardboard in envelope, kraft paper, or box
8 : mail to the next person on the list


[ disclaimer : you are taking part in a project organized by elissa barbieri for loop, llc. this is a shared exercise and common law copyright protects all participants . the final drawing will not be exhibited, duplicated or reproduced for sale without express written credit given to each of its authors. ]
