The Open Daybook is both a compilation of original artwork and a functional perpetual calendar. Over the course of a single year, 365 artists were assigned a date and given 24 hours to create a work of art. Each one of those days is a page in this book. Every page is a unique expression of a moment in the life of a different artist. But The Open Daybook is also an invitation to record your own day. The book can be used as a day planner, a journal or a daily sketchbook. As you doodle, plan for the future and record your past you will be creating a second book, a collaboration in which each artist’s day becomes your own.
Working in all mediums, the hundreds of contributing artists include Leanne Shapton, Miranda July, Victor Kerlow, Aurel Schmidt, David Horvitz, David Rakoff, Jill Greenburg, and Echo Eggebrecht.
