Reseña del libro "52 Week: A Performance / Video Project Re-Envisioned (en Inglés)"
This book documents, contextualizes, and ultimately re-envisions Project 52 for 2010: an intermedia Performance / Video artwork. The project, completed in 2011 and initially existent on the web in the form of 52 video / performance works--one realized each week of 2010--has been expanded, exhibited, and, from time-to-time, re-performed live, at numerous art venues. The work as a whole is eclectic, by its nature diaristic and intimate, yet grappling with travel, dislocation, and global events. All of the pieces individually mark time, reflecting thoughts and feelings of the moment, which this book attempts to concretize. Some pieces stand as conflations of emotional connection to place with dutiful art production, others are whimsical flights into formal tropes; all range from momentarily unconscious to fully cognizant, all have backstories. These are the collected backstories with pulled still images, and new found visions; a collaboration between artist, Jim Jeffers and designer, Danelle Michaud.
