Are we there yet?

In response to the COVID-19 crisis and public restrictions, Shoebox PR created a project for artists to collaborate from a distance.

The project guidelines:
• Artist #1 will create a piece of art and send a digital version of it to Artist #2. This can be anything. It can be poetry, it can be photography or video. It can be painting or drawing, collage or sculpture. It is about sitting down and being creative and interacting with someone.
• Artist #2 will then have 24 hours to create a response to it in any medium and with any tools available to them.
• They will in turn send a digital version of it back to Artist #1 who will create a new work in response.

The cycle progresses for two weeks.
