A Book About Death — Isn't Dead Yet
A message from Cecil Touchon:
A Book About Death - 2010
I am putting out an open call - please spread the word.
DEADLINE: JULY 15TH, 2010
I will be putting on a Book About Death exhibition/performance next October using the set of cards, posters, artifacts, etc. that I have and I invite everyone to send a postcard sized collage for next year's exhibition. You could also send any sort of small sized artwork,
assemblage,
poem,
objects to put in a box with other people's objects
music,
film,
story,
quote,
event score for performance,etc.
everything should say on it somewhere: A Book About Death
I will attempt to do a book around it that I will be fashioning over the course of the year. If there is anyone who is actually a good book designer and knows how to use better software than word for windows, I invite you to contact me and collaborate on the creation of the book. I want it to have many images, stories, poems, etc. - possibly a multi-volume set over the coming years. I can see that A Book About Death is going to have a long and growing life over the coming years. I invite collaborators to help out with the organizing and we'll need some performers to show up for the opening. We could also coordinate simultaneous or traveling exhibitions around the country or world.
Louise, maybe you can announce this to those who are sending things for your show at the Queens or make a flier to give out at the show there?

Thanks MUDHEAD! How did you send me and MB mail art at the same time? You know we both sent him sketchbooks on the same day. I like that.
Bill Evertson... my new friend
Sending out his inner gator...
I have about 1o or more gators living within a mile of my home... I see them every morning when I drive my kids to school... some mornings I see one. Some two or three... but they are all there lurking in the lake...
