Kit Merritt's 'To Do List'

Art Licks is the latest website on the block to establish itself into a magazine, and had it's exclusive launch party last week at the Sasoon Gallery. Artist Kit Merritt, one of the many involved with the launch, asked attendees to write on to her To Do list as part of her interactive work.

Each written task had to be something that genuinly needed to be done by whoever was writing it and throughout the following week, Kit set about completing all the tasks herself. Her blog, called 'Things We Both Need To Do' shows evidence of this and includes the receipt from buying a train ticket to Brighton, a print out of car tax renewal and a map of Bethnal Green drawn from memory.

Kit focuses her works on archival practices and a 'compulsion to document autobiographical actions' which is evident in her seemingly obsessive preoccupation with lists. Another of her blogs called 'To Do' was started in 2008 after Kit continuously found herself writing list after list of things she had done and things she had to do.
