exhibition catalogs as works of art



> Dear colleagues and friends,
> I am currently in the process of preparing for an exhibition of
> "exhibition catalogs as works of art". I am selecting from a multitude
> of
> formats and aesthetic approaches by artists, galleries, museums, etc.
> to
> expand the common function of the catalog as mere memory and inventory
> of a
> show into its own, autonomous work of art.
>
> For this event I will be producing a catalog with original
> contributions
> by Christian Boltanski (artist, Paris/France), Mary Jane Jacob (writer
> and
> independent curator, Chicago), Barbara Moore (art historian, publisher
> and
> rare-book dealer, also proprietor of Bound & Unbound), Anthony Elms
> (art
> critic and editor of WhiteWalls, Chicago) and Alan Cravitz (private
> collector of artists' books and exhibition catalogs, Chicago). The
> book and
> CD-ROM will be housed in a specifically designed and vaccuformed
> acrylic
> box and can be purchased for the price of $ 32.- plus sh/h
>  For details and images of the mock-up please go to
> http://www.artic.edu/saic/art/flasch/flasch_exhibit.html or
> http://www.artic.edu/saic/art/flasch/exhibitcatalog.html (It's well
> worth
> taking a quick look; the design of the item is rather unconventional).
>
> Now comes the less pleasant, yet more important part:
> Unfortunately budgets are meager (putting it mildly) and I am thus
> forced
> to offer this item on a pre-subscription basis to be able to produce
> it
> later.
> I therefore kindly ask you to fax in or email me your order NOW
> (between
> July 1st and August 15th) so that you can receive from us a pro-forma
> invoice. As soon as you have processed it and we have received payment
> from
> you we will send you a confirmation notice.
> Actual production of the catalog will start in the Fall but you will
> not
> receive your copy until February 2003, as I want to add installation
> shots
> to the CD-ROM.
> Thank you for supporting this project and, please, come see the show
> if
> you're in town.
