The Rounds Project was a pretty big undertaking. First of all, eight artists started creating work simultaneously in a system of exchange and response, resulting in 29 works over four six-week cycles. Then eight writers wrote essays about it all and interviewed the artists. While this was happening we were in the studio getting together the website and designing gallery graphics.
The show opened to rather a lot of hype, and generated considerable noise. Far more ambitious than anything seen in recent memory in this city’s art scene, it was a riot, with tennis balls flying through the gallery space, questionable children’s play equipment, vertigo-inducing video work, and dogs. It seemed fitting then that such an ambitious project should be accompanied by a serious publication, and we were the lucky lot privileged with the opportunity to design it.
