A BOOK ABOUT DEATH: AN UNBOUND BOOK ON THE SUBJECT OF DEATH
Opening, Thursday, 10 September 2009.
Exhibition: 10 - 22 September 2009.
Emily Harvey Foundation 537 Broadway New York City, New York 10012 USA
A BOOK ABOUT DEATH is an open, unbound book produced by artists worldwide. Artists are invited to create a page in the form of a postcard about death– any aspect about death. Works should be of any design, personal or conceptual, color or black and white. The original works, or writings, and the postcards produced for the exhibition, should address the topic of death.
A BOOK ABOUT DEATH takes its inspiration from the late, underground American artist Ray Johnson (1927 - 1995). Ray Johnson’s unbound “book” of the same title was mailed to his New York Correspondence School “students” and included pages in his idiosyncratic style that were funny, sad and ironic “one-page essays” on death. With the A BOOK ABOUT DEATH project, artists are invited to plunge into subject in creating their own pages that score the dramatic final dance of death.
