March of the Consumer

Tuesday, March the First
3.1.11            160 pounds


Happy March family and friend.

After reading this blog post and researching the topic I was...

Inspired by One Year by George Maciunas (Not to be confused with Year One, the horrible Jack Black / Michael Cera flick),

 I decided to create my own consumption project. One Year was a project by Lithuanian artist George Maciunas. Basically it is the containers of everything he bought for consumption between 1973 and 1974. While Maciunas had his empty containers from an entire year nicely organized I will more likely make a collage of the wrappers and labels I use for the month of March.

I anticipate the outcome of this project disgusting me. I do not think I am the healthiest eater and this might just prove it. Thirty-one days of my breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Already I have two labels from soda bottles, the wrapper from a fast food hash brown, and the label from a can of tuna.
