Current Call for Jars
in Collaboration with Institute of Contemporary Art, San Jose, California
When was the last time you used the f-word? We want to know! I’m teaming up with the ICA to present This is Jar of F***s, an artist led participatory project and newsletter and that encourages you to track what makes you say F*** and what you give a F*** about.
To participate, fill out the form found on this page, find a jar in your house, fill the jar with your f***s, and share with us. When you sign up you will receive an email with detailed instructions and friendly reminders for submitting your jar. I will be anonymously collecting Jars of F***s for an ongoing community-sourced art project presented on the ICA’s Instagram page during the winter months.
During this isolating time, why not connect with each other over our f-bomb moments?
