I thought Journey Daybook makers might enjoy knowing about this up coming exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art – Nov 1 – April 5, 2009
This exhibition celebrates The 1000 Journals Project, an ongoing collaborative and participatory experiment that follows 1,000 blank journals as they journey around the world. Each journal is stamped with a message inviting participants to draw, paste, rip, or write on its pages, and then pass it on when finished. Exchanged by friends and strangers or left in bus shelters and other unexpected places, the books have accumulated a rich tapestry of stories, drawings, and personal reflections.
Collectively, the journals have traveled to more than forty countries and all 50 states. Co-curated by anonymous project creator Someguy and Stephanie Pau of the SFMOMA Education Department, this presentation features a selection of journals that have returned to San Francisco. In keeping with the spirit of the project, journals and art supplies will be available to visitors, offering an open invitation to participate in this exciting social-art experiment.

Oh, Mary! Thanks so much for posting this announcement. I am fascinated, as always, by the creative extent that the journal format can reach. I would ADORE to see this exhibit. Is anyone “out there” planning to be at the SFMOMA between now and April 5 2009? If so, please post a report.
