In the fall of 2004 Jim Hill & Meesh Rheault Miller of the notorious Apocalypse Center, launched a new collaborative art venture called The Red Project. 36 recyclable cameras were sent to participants with instructions to photograph everything red. The cameras traveled to China • Brazil • Kuwait • Germany • Canada •San Francisco • NYC • Chicago • Seattle • Baton Rouge • Florida • Colorado • New Jersey • Massachusetts • Maine • New Mexico • Rhode Island and beyond. In addition to photographing red, participants were asked to write red musings on paper strips & to provide a few 4 x 4 inch two-dimensional materials (ie. collage, fabric, packaging, etc.) Jim + Meesh then created art pieces using the resulting materials, exercising complete artistic control (as always) in those assemblages. Four framed red collages, a four panel screen decoupaged with 204 red images, an interactive construction with 64 two-inch blocks covered in 384 red images, the Baton Rouge, (a red stick hung with 200+ red strips- a kind of random poem of red musings), a red tree, a red chair, a primitive red twig lattice, several red themed art installations, red music, and a red image show were all key elements of the final installation. Participants & art lovers gathered to celebrate RED on January 29, 2005.
