Invitation To Everyone

Hey! Last year I gave a painted flower away everyday and now I am going to have an art show about those flowers. I might not have given you a flower, but it is not too late to get one. I am inviting you to attend the opening so that you can read about the year, cut your own flower and meet other flower recipients.

To be on display:

- blog entries from the 365-day project, including responses from recipients who were inspired, nonplussed, or frightened by me.
- two canvases of painted flowers, and scissors, so attendees can cut out a flower for themselves
- actual recipients of the flowers throughout the year, as well as the flowers they received

Oh! And ThoughtMarker!!

See you there!

MULTIMEDIA ‘A PAINTED FLOWER A DAY’ AT EYEDRUM

ATLANTA - At the dawn of 2007, as part of a personal project to get over his social anxiety, Atlanta computer programmer and artist Stewart Haddock came up with an idea: For one year, he would hand out one painted flower a day – to friends, friends of friends, and complete strangers. It would force him, Mr. Haddock reasoned, to approach people he would not normally approach and hold a conversation with them.

The simple resolution turned into a yearlong art project and social experiment that transcends media formats. Now complete, “A Painted Flower a Day” opens at Atlanta’s Eyedrum, in the small gallery, on February 9, 2008 at 6 p.m.

To be on display:

- blog entries from the 365-day project, including responses from recipients who were inspired, nonplussed, or frightened by Mr. Haddock
- two canvases of painted flowers, and scissors, so attendees can cut out a flower for themselves
- actual recipients of Mr. Haddock’s flowers throughout the year, as well as the flowers they received
