A BOOK ABOUT DEATH exhibition homage to Ray Johnson (1927-1995)

[Marie Kazalia]

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, contribute by producing an artwork about death then printing it on 500 postcards that will all be in the gallery for visitors to pick up and make their own Book About Death to take away with them.
