2010 Challenge

The following information details a project I am initiating for the duration of 2010. The project is an endeavour to push my own boundaries as a practitioner by receiving challenges, of which one a month will be undertaken through out the year.

Background

A part of every artistic practice is challenge, without challenges we are not pushing ourselves enough to learn and understand, to explore, take risks and fail, without challenge we can not excel our potential. Where there is no challenge there can be routine, although routines in its self can be a challenge, routine can lead to the mundane and complacency. I have always maintained that I want to be challenged in what I do and push my own boundaries in doing so.

The project

On the last day of each month I will select a challenge to accept from those proposed from the first day of that month. The challenge can be anything as long as it is contained with in artistic practice, the challenge is not limited to any one discipline or medium there is no restraint by description such as artist, curator, critic etc, leaving the challenge as open as possible to individual interpretation. 12 challenges will be accepted and attempt to be fulfilled, the time frame of each is determined in the challenge its self.

To make a challenge

Challenges are welcome from any one, and can be submitted in any format, although preferably written and sent via email. The following is what is needed for a challenge;

§   The challenge must be contained within artistic practice; although this can be an abstract interpretation

§   Challenges will be accepted all year around, however a challenge will be selected on the last day of each month from those submitted during that month.

§   The parameters are set by the challenger, there is no structure.

§   Not every challenge submitted will be carried out, but those chosen will be acted upon.

§   If a challenge is not selected in one month it can be re-submitted again.

§   There is no limit to the amount of challenges one person can set.

§   All challenges that are submitted, are done so in the consent that they may be reproduced in documentation.

§   All challengers will be credited with the information they supply, all contact details will remain confidential.
