Progress Report 



Progress Report was a month-long workshop devised and run by FOUR-D alongside artist Clara Harlow. The purpose of the workshop was to interrogate the nature of progress — the how, what, and why it takes to implement and accomplish a goal. The project manifested as a series of four workbooks, each investigating, with a mixture of playfulness and seriousness, the concepts of progress and goal setting. A mixture of record keeping, journaling, and thought experiments, the contents of each individual’s workbook were the catalyst for weekly video conferences where participants would discuss with one another different aspects of their successes and pitfalls.  As always, but particularly during the circumstances surrounding the covid-19 pandemic, our aim was to find ways to gather community together to find common purpose and expression through a shared practice and language.

The books included a series of serious and playful questions, charts and tools to help participants navigate their goal. 



Participants could either print the books out or copy the exercises into their own notebook.



Each week we had a vitrual meeting to check in on the week and our individual progress or lack there of. These meetings included presenations with conversation prompts.
