January, 1969
Charted Work Proposal for January - December, 1969:
1.
Anelyse all work done during the above time into factors of space and time.
This qualitative analysis will be based upon the judgement of the artist.
2.
Construct a graphed coordinate system in which the space factor functions as
the vertical axis, the time factor as the horizontal axis.
On the assumption that any works executed must partake of space and/or time,
all work will fall into one of the four following categories:
A), in which the factor(s) of space and/or time function as active elements of
the work;
B), in which the space factor(s) functions actively, and the time factor has been
negated*;
C), in waich both space and time factors have been negated*;
D), in which the time factor(s) functions actively, and the spece factor(s) has
been negated*.
These categories correspond to designated areas in the constructed graph
system (see master sheet).
3.
List each work chronologically as space and time coordinates based on the
above-described analysis, Plot coordinate points of work on a) a master sheet
containing all works executed during the January - December period, and b) a
monthly coordinate scale.
4.
indicate continuity from one month to the next by beginning connecting line at
the last point plotted during the preceding monta without plotting it as a coor-
dinates point on the current month.
Connect points in chronological order. On each monthly coordinate scale,

line, forming a closed, discreet system of chronologically plotted points on each
At end of each month, connect last point plotted to beginning of conneeting
montaly coordinate scele. Indicate intersection of beginning and end of line by
the symbol (o).
On the master sheet, the system will remain open for the duration of the year,
after which it will be closed by connéeting beginning and end points of line in
the manner described above.
* This might occur as pert of the idea, or through means of presentation. This
condition is not to be confused with theat in which consideration of either the
time or space factor si mply has no bearing on the idea. In the former case, the
negated factor would be indicated by a negative number; in the latter case, by
the numeral (0).
