How does Bibi-Mimi Monday Memo work? Once a week, during the same hour of the day, each artist works in their separate studio with the intention of tuning into the same creative channel. They do not speak or make any kind of plans beforehand, but at the end of each session they compare notes on their inspiration, their state of mind and the work produced. They have found, over the course of the project, that not only are there connections in the work produced but also in their emotions, recent experiences and in odd little coincidences surrounding the sessions. http://www.windowonhudson.org/
