The LIST WALL PROJECT is a travelling installation of a community's Goal Lists, Life Lists and To Do lists.

Originating in Kansas City and mediated by artist Lisa Lala, the public is invited to mail in (or install in person) a list of goals or things to do. The wall is a celebration of "the list".

The List Wall was met with an overwhelming response at its original location, Blue Gallery. Hundreds of lists were sent in anonymously from individuals and groups. Lists came in from all walks of life: business owners and employees, news reporters and government officials, students and scientists. Statistics repeatedly show that by just writing something down we are more likely to accomplish it. So what do people want to do? Everything from "pay off parking tickets" to "start a family charitable foundation". From "stop biting my nails" to "live in the inner city". From "download better music" to "die on my own terms".

As the List Wall moves from city to city, each new venue has the opportunity to add its own lists my tacking them to the wall. Growing like a snowball, it will link community to community. What do we have in common? How are we different? As it travels through place, it also travels through time (each list is stamped with a code for location and date). What do people want in 2010? What do people want in 2013? Encouraging us to commit to our aspirations by writing them down, the List Wall is a monument to our country's "can do" spirit.

What is on your list?
