Hello,
loves,
I have a
suggestion for everyone. Something you can do (or not) alone or with company…
When you
lack inspiration on your own, you have to try to inspire others, hopping that
your good influence on them, the light we bring them, can end up rubbing off on
you somehow…
One day I
was in a bar and someone left a book mark on the table that read: “Good thing
will happen!” It was enough to make me smile. In the same bar, in a different
day, there was a consumption card that read “Many a nickel makes a mickle.” In the
back. Another smile. I thought of these sentences as “messages” of hope, more
or less seriously… At least, I smiled.
I’ll call
my proposal “Answers – Street Art Project”.
My
suggestion is that you gather some sentences you consider inspirations and
leave them wherever you want. Written by hand. Printed. In posters. Cards. Brought
to life. Quotes from writers. Lyrics. Pieces of interviews to someone known.
Left in bar tables. Delivered by hand. Glued to lamps. Whatever. As long as
they are not unremarkable and have all the details, like the quote, the author
and, eventually, where it was taken from.
This is not something to be done and over with, this is a something to be a part of, because it'll never be finished. I even hope it'll transcend what I suggest now and it'll acquire new forms and dimensions and then, yes, finally become Art.
The idea is
to bring people to smile and, maybe, even give them the answer they were
looking for that day…
I’d like to
have a common symbol for this project. Something we all used. I like the idea
of the sun and the moon together (dark and light). It has to be simple, so that
everyone can print it, sculpt it, draw it in walls or sand… The pic is my rough
suggestion. Taking the initials of the title of the project and using the S to
make a crescent moon with 8 stars and the P to make the sun with 8 rays (8 =
infinity).
As you
know, ASAP is not only the initials of the title of the project. Ialso means “As Soon As Possible”. And we all need “light” as soon as
possible, don’t we?
Share your
thoughts. And join us. (If it grows we’ll open a Facebook page and eventually
get a real symbol.)
