"Art's Birthday" is an annual event first proposed in 1963 by French artist Robert Filliou.
Art's Birthday. Net - an annual exchange-art event celebrated on January 17th by a loose collection of artists and artist organizations around the world.
He suggested that 1,000,000 years ago, there was no art. But one day, on the 17th of January to be precise, Art was born. According to Filliou, it happened when someone dropped a dry sponge into a bucket of water. Modest beginnings, but look at us now. |
