The show was designed as a rotating month-long exhibit, with the centerpiece being three large chalkboards hung in the gallery's street-facing window. Each week, three artists were invited to do their art, in this public setting, on one of the chalkboards using a minimum of materials; essentially just chalk and the boards themselves. Spalding Gray was one of the participants, and the film provides some incredible interviews with the late writer and monologist, as well as showcasing an original, never-before-seen monologue created on his chalkboard. At the end of each week, the boards were erased, and three more artists took their turn. During this time, all the artists were interviewed on camera, filmed while they were working, and the completed works were documented before being erased. The film also includes present-day follow up interviews, taking you into the studios of some of the other artists that participated in the project. Bringing the project full circle after almost 20 years, it creates a compelling inquiry into the notion of impermanence and memory. See less
