We need your help for our next project "Growing Beds for Public Hair" which hits the streets of Brighton next week during Park(ing) day: an annual, one-day, global event where artists collaborate to transform metered parking spots into “PARK(ing)” spaces: temporary public 'parks'.
The idea is to collect the material - your hair - through our online social networks.
Here are the instructions:
Take a picture of any of your own hair; can be body, facial, pubic or head. Any camera is fine.
Take the picture so that the hair shows as clearly as possible.
And no rude ones please! :)
Tell us your location.
Send the image(s) as jpgs to sara.popowa [at] gmail.com or post it to the Facebook events page http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=273226960112 or as phone-pictures to 07891396695 up until the 16th Sep, that's Wednesday next week. Keep the image size as big as you can easily.
In exchange, we promise that:
Your contribution will be anonymous and no-one else apart from us (Sara Popowa & Lori O'Regan) will use your pics. We won't use/keep your email addresses, apart from sending you a link with a photo of the physical result on Park(ing) Day.
We won't use whole or parts of anyone's face or any other distinctive features.
Your hair will 'grow', together with many others', on the streets of Brighton on Sep 18th!
You can view the development and documentation here on http://sarapopowa.blogspot.com/
Thanks for taking part!
