i've always been a fan of chalkboard paint, but reading about installation artist candy chang's before i die project on the nylon blog, it brings chalkboard paint to a whole new level.

chang covered the side of an abandoned house in new orleans for people to write what is most important to them. "before i die transforms neglected spaces into constructive ones where we can learn the hopes and aspirations of the people around us."

according to chang, “this project is currently expanding with more installations" - come to boston!
