Off the Books was an experiment in the divergent paths creativity takes. After one of Oklahoma City’s oldest architectural firms closed its doors, Untitled [ArtSpace] obtained a collection of abandoned accounting ledgers. It then distributed these books to an assortment of artists varying in experience, age, and medium. The resulting work demonstrated the variety of interpretations and ideas that a single source will inspire. The exhibit aimed to give viewers an insight into the artist’s process of reinvention, turning a shared starting point into a unique object of personal expression. Through this experience, the artists' final product can be better understood in the ways it differs from and similar to his or her peers.
