The entire structure is made up of 360 1' x 2' wooden panels. Each of these
panels will serve as the "canvas" for a piece of black and white artwork. The
content of this artwork is entirely up to our collaborators -- we're hoping it
will range from expressive artwork to typography studies, from architectural
renderings to photography, and so on.
The artwork on the boards will be created by people who we will invite to
participate and people we'll find through a general call for entries. The
majority of this artwork will be sent to us digitally, and we'll print it and
mount it to the wooden panels, and some of the artwork will be created directly
on the panels, mainly by artists who live and work near the 22 studio. Since we
have 360 panels, we potentially have room for work by 360 artists, although
we're aiming for about 150.Once the panels are covered in images, we'll assemble the complete
structure. This is based on a modular system of construction. Four panels
are arranged in a square to create one module.Those modules are then stacked together using a system of interlocking notches,
ultimately resulting in a three-dimensional wall that's 27 feet long and 8 feet
tall. This will fill the interior of the 22 studio with enough space for people
to easily walk around the outside.
