A YEAR IN RAINBOWis burlesque performer Darlinda Just Darlinda's foray into the "living art" milieu. From August 1, 2007 to August 1, 2008, Darlinda will explore the colors Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple both individually and together as a six-colored Rainbow. On even-numbered months (August, October, December, etc), Darlinda will wear a single color for the duration of the month, and produce a show inspired by that color. On odd-numbered months (September, November, January, etc) she will wear all rainbow every day."A YEAR IN RAINBOW is about collaboration and exploring new mediums through color and human portrait," says Darlinda, " But it's also an art/social experiment to see what kind of reactions I get from the public at large when I wear one color or rainbow for an entire year." Darlinda will record her experience via daily photographs and journal entries on her website www.yearinrainbow.com.
A YEAR IN RAINBOW kicked off on August 1st, 2007, when Darlinda started her spectrum with the color Red. The first live performance of the A YEAR IN RAINBOW series was on August 20, 2007 at Galapagos Art Space, where Darlinda produced a show called "The Red Self-Centered Leo Show" exploring the powerful, generous, egotistical (yet inspiring) ways of the color red and those born under the astrological sign of Leo.
September has been dedicated to the Rainbow; The rest of the year will play out as follows; October celebrates Orange, November: Rainbow, December: Yellow, January: Rainbow, February: Green, March: Rainbow, April: Blue, May: Rainbow, June: Purple and July: Rainbow. A YEAR IN RAINBOW is inspired by Linda M. Montano's "14 Years of Living Art", via Morty Diamond's "Year in Pink".
