In  J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, the character Holden Caulfield observed “(p)eople never notice anything.”

People Never Notice Anything is a participatory writing project and presentation series based on the observations of audience members. You are invited to take a free note book and pencil in which you can write down your observations, thoughts and points of interest. You are then encouraged to come back to apexart in February of 2010 to give a five to ten minute casual public presentation about the contents recorded in your notebook.

The observations of artists and writers are for the large part deemed of great value, and ultimately made public through their work. The J.D Salinger quote is used here as a point of departure and a provocation. People are prompted to challenge this statement crafted by a writer and see their considerations of the world they partake in as equally significant, and share their findings in a venue usually reserved for artists. People do notice things.
