Book About Death

Cobwebs of the ordinary

Today I submitted 500 postcards of the collage above for a group show, "A Book About Death," which will be on view at the Emily Harvey Foundation Gallery in New York City from September 10-22, 2009. The concept is to have artists respond to the subject of death. The show is an homage to Ray Johnson, a celebration of Emily Harvey, and a global exploration of death. 

People who visit the gallery can compile and take away an unbound book of all the entries -- a real collaborative concept/show/experience. I'm thrilled to have my work included and of course, am wishing I was going to be in NY during that time so I could collect the parts to make a book of my own. There is a very cool blog documenting the works that have been submitted so far. It's fascinating to see the range of work represented. (I'm number 203. Yoko Ono is number 161. Check it out.)
