Write a Page! Unique Opportunity

Invitation to ARTISTS to create Book Pages

Artists are invited to create their own book pages that illustrate their unique interpretations of THE TIES THAT BIND all living things universally through death. DEADLINE FOR PHYSICAL PAGES TO BE IN THE GALLERY: JULY 15, 2011 Artists' Reception: Saturday, 13 August 2011
Exhibition: 31 July - 2 September 2011

(See http://www.abookaboutdeath.blogspot.com for the original Soho show and see http://www.abookaboutdeatharchive.blogspot.com for the history of the movement).
Create a one- or two-sided piece on a 5.5" x 8.5" (Digest Size) sheet of paper (PAPER-not card stock). Format may be vertical or horizontal. Artists can include any information about themselves on the pages, front or back. The exhibition organizers only ask that you submit good work, worthy of an interesting and exciting page in this global book.
Submit two copies-one will be hung on the walls of the gallery and the other will be bound into a handmade volume, thereby furnishing an Omega to the Alpha of the Unbound Book of the original show. The book will be handmade and bound by the curator and also displayed at the exhibition. I am working on getting the exhibited book(s) into the permanent collection of the MoMA, NY to stand alongside the original show which is already there.
