without moving (after guy chase)
The parameters for the dot painting are quite simple:
1) paint dots that are achievable by a single touch of the brush (eg no large dots)
2) paint dots starting in conjunction with an area of dots that have been painted previously
3) paint dots so they are close to each other but not touching
4) count the dots (a record is kept on the sides of the panel)
This last two directives are of significance central to the work in that the action of the dot painter is thus quite focused and intentional. This character lends a keen sense of the individual’s presence to the project in the resulting surface marks. The pattern of each person’s dot painting is “improvised”, but in a very responsive way.
This set documents this project, including the various collaborators who have participated in the on-going dot painting portion of the project.
