Progress Report

Month-long workshop, 4 weekly workbooks, 2020.

Progress Report was a month-long workshop devised in collaboration with Grace Caiazza and Lizzy Chiappiani of the curatorial design project FOUR-D. The purpose of the workshop was to interrogate the nature of progress — the how, why, and what it takes to implement and accomplish a goal. The project manifested as a series of weekly video conferences and four workbooks we produced, each investigating with a mixture of playfulness and seriousness the concepts of progress and practice. A mixture of record keeping, journaling, and thought experiments, the contents of each individual’s workbook were the catalyst for weekly video conferences where participants would discuss with one another different aspects of their successes and pitfalls.  During the circumstances surrounding the pandemic lockdown, our aim was to find ways to gather community together to find common purpose and expression through a shared practice.
