FYI: This project was ended by Kevin at the 1/2 way point. For Kevin’s reasoning as to why please CLICK HERE

I’m Kevin Van Lierop and last year I spent a few minutes each and every day documenting my mood through a year long project I called 365 Days.  By photographing myself each and every day I learned that imagery could be one of the best forms of self documentation.  With 2009 now past I thought it would be rather fitting to start a new project for 2010.

Although doing another 365 day photo project would be a challenge for many reasons, I wanted to find a way to expand my creativity and expose myself to different mediums.  With that said I have decided to complete a fifty-two week project.

Fifty-Two Weeks1 will be a year long project where each and every week I will complete a different artistic project. The medium won’t simply be photography, the mediums used will span video, audio, photos, text, paint, arts & crafts and anything else I can find.  The only limitations to what I choose to create and complete will be my financial resources and availability of physical resources needed.

To keep me on track over the coming year I have decided that I would lay some ground rules so I have something to follow:

  1. I must create one creative project each week, the size of each project will depend on the medium chosen and the scope I want it to be.
  2. Projects begin the moment I wake up on Monday morning and must be completed by the time I go to bed on the following Sunday.
  3. Each project will be posted (here on Fifty-Two Weeks) by the end of the Monday following its completion.

I have a list of Ideas already started on the type of creative projects that I might want to complete (or have already completed), feel free to check them out.

If you have any suggestions for a week long project that I might like to undertake, or a comment regrading one that I have already completed please do not hesitate to Contact me.

  1. Most certainly this project was inspired by Bill Wadman’s 52 project and I can only hope that I am a as personally successful with my project as he was with his. []
