LEAVE
THE EVIDENCE
WEEKLY REGISTER SUBMISSION
THIS IS NOT A PORTFOLIO SUBMISSION.
Leave a trace of what actually happened.
A finished drawing counts. So does a failed test, a tool, a detail, a page that went wrong, a material experiment, or evidence that the work changed direction.
One submission takes a few minutes. The month does the rest.
01 // IDENTIFY
Tell us who is leaving the record.
02 // PLACE THE EVIDENCE
Put this submission in the right part of October.
03 // SHOW IT
Finished work is not required. Evidence is.
Upload 1–3 images or scans. Process is welcome. Failure is welcome. This does not need to be finished work. JPG, PNG and WEBP are preferred.
EVIDENCE RECEIVED.
KEEP WORKING.
Your submission has entered the WEEKLY REGISTER record.
You do not have to submit every week, and not every submission will appear publicly. The point is to leave enough evidence that October cannot pretend nothing happened.
02 // PLACE THE EVIDENCE
04 // RECORD IT
Give the evidence just enough language to remain useful.
05 // PERMISSION
KEEP THE WORK YOURS.
LET THE RECORD EXIST.
You keep ownership of your work. This submission is not acceptance into THE BLACK REGISTER or THE OCTOBER REGISTER. Exhibition, consignment, and publication are handled separately.
THE REGISTER records the practice. THE BLACK REGISTER is curated separately. THE OCTOBER REGISTER is edited separately. Nothing submitted here guarantees exhibition or publication.
