The owner of the "diary" submitted the correct password today. The little book contains mostly hand-written notes on the "Conceptual Art Ideas" undertaken so far (10). Whenever I post a new "Conceptual Art Idea" I'll email him the text and he has agreed to paste it in the diary.

There is no "time-frame" to this project: it may take a few months, or perhaps even years to complete. Check back to watch the progress.

#10

101 Conceptual Art Ideas is an on-going project whereby the Artist (Mark Cameron Boyd) posts ideas randomly HERE at his discretion. The owner of this “diary” will receive email notifications when new ideas are posted on-line. These emails should be printed-out and pasted into the “diary” in chronological order.

Ownership of this diary is dependent upon participation in the project but does not constitute “ownership” of the 101 Conceptual Art Ideas.
