27 is an international group art project occurring on the 27th of every month. The project began in September 2009 as a collaborative photography experiment among mixed/multi-media artists and friends originally based in Tucson who, over the course of a few short months, found themselves living in different cities and missing the connection once accessible when it was easy to meet in person to share and talk about art.

Each month, we pick a different theme simple enough to shoot on a busy weekday, but one that also requires conceptual thinking and attention to detail. Past themes have included Place, Colors, Reflection, Transport, and Portraits. However, we’ve self-imposed a few technical limitations in order to make us stretch our imagination further within the given subject, leaving room for nuance and surprises. Images can only be taken within 24 hours on the 27th of the month, and only "lo-fi" cameras including disposable cameras, vintage cameras, toy cameras, cell phones, webcams and even scanners may be used.

But 27 is more than just a picture-taking/picture-looking/documentary project. We then share the resulting images online for commentary ranging from introspective aesthetic feedback to humorous quips. 27 has not only provided an outlet for communication within our collective, it has also made us grow as artists through examination of our personal thought processes and technical inventiveness.

Dear 27,

We began this project to make ourselves grow as artists, and to see and interact with what other artists are doing.
Our hopes are that 27 is more than just a picture-taking / picture-looking project.

If you are involved in 27, we want to hear your thoughtful, introspective, aesthetic, and intelligent comments on everyone's set.
Consider 27 your new way of talking photography.
Take 27 as your own, and contribute to your own international group project!

27 is now 5 months old.
We work to pick themes that are strong in their simplicity.
Themes that you can shoot on a busy weekday, but that you can also put some thought into.

In our opinions, the best thing to come out of 27 is how differently each artist approaches the same theme. We are excited and inspired to see what new sets appear each month!
Continue to be inspired with us.

Wednesday, January 27th, 2009
This Month's Theme: Portraits
Shoot with any lo-fi camera such as:
Disposable camera
Digital point and shoot (less than 3 Megapixels!)
Plastic toy camera
Camera Phone

please email us if you have any questions, or if you would like to contribute to the satellite / traveling exhibition by hosting a show in your hometown.

Dear Writers and Artists,

Thank you for all your submissions.

The editing process for Plume Zine Issue 3, "Criminality" is finished, and production has now begun. You may expect a release date of late September. We will let you know where and how you may get a copy of the zine, once it is ready for reading.

Dear Readers,

Here follows, a teaser:

image by Christine Scheer

"That there is such a reminiscence, and that is hillsides. In climbing, hiking alongside ridge or ravine, on such days that the placing of a foot one after the other may suffice to bring the memory back. In the spotless horizon, or the remembered and oft-treasured holding of the hands. I have been called out by spouse and co. for remembering only in stark light, as if in the past no suns set. That such might be a game of catch, or while tackling the beloved object of one’s affections between sheets, or wooly bushes. On nights minus sleep I count stars, and place numbers to the grains of sand. Such are nights when I roll from the duvet and stalk the hallways with a sunken roar."

Excerpt from "Brambles" by Max Paradise

Downtown Tucson Scavenger Hunt, March 1st, 2009

Discover Downtown Tucson’s Potential in Interactive Scavenger Hunt on Sunday, March 1, 2009.

Visit PopUpSpaces.org or email info@PopUpSpaces.com for more


Walk through the streets of downtown Tucson and you will find multiple FOR RENT signs on every block. While that may be discouraging to some Tucsonans, a group of artists sees these spaces as blank canvases. In the Downtown Scavenger Hunt on March 1, participants will be given clues to find 10 locations, each one with a short activity that will encourage them to engage with the current environment, reflect upon the historic record, and imagine future possibilities for the space. The resulting photography and writings will be displayed in the future at a time and venue TBA.

Clues and instructions can be picked up at Shot in the Dark Café, 121 East Broadway Blvd. between 12pm and 2pm. Downtown Scavenger Hunt is free and appropriate for all ages.

Complete the Hunt and Enter to Win a Prize about the History of Downtown Tucson!

Downtown Scavenger Hunt is the inaugural project of POP UP SPACES, a collaboration between artists Rachelle Diaz of Tu Scene, Molly McClintock of MAXED ART and Julie Ray of The Burrito Files. POP UP SPACES seeks to produce temporary, interactive, site-specific installations in empty spaces in which the visitors are not just expected to be passive viewers, but asked to be active participants. The goal of these art-based experiences is to enhance economic vitality and public engagement in downtown Tucson through promotion of the area’s culture, history, architecture and business community.
