The Open Daybook is both a compilation of original art work and perpetual daily calendar. Over the course of a single year, three hundred and sixty five artists were assigned a date and given 24 hours to create a work of art.
Each artist’s day is a page in the book. But The Open Daybook is also an invitation for the owner to record his or her own day. The book can be used as a day planner, a journal or a daily sketchbook. As the owner of the book doodles, plans for the future and records the past, a second book is created, a collaboration in which each artist’s day becomes the owner’s day as well.
