(ABAD) A BOOK ABOUT DEATH: The Ties That Bind

Bay Shore, New York
Reception: Saturday, 13 August 2011
Exhibition: 31 July–2 September 2011
Deadline to Gallery: 15 July 2011

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. They may also choose to celebrate the ties that now bind all ABAD artists throughout the world (courtesy of Ray Johnson and Matthew Rose). Any interpretation is welcome.
All these pages will then be bound together in a handmade book. A BOOK ABOUT DEATH will finally become a hand-bound book produced by global artists.

This new exhibit will feature for the first time, work from worldwide artists that are actual pages
like Ray Johnson originally created in 1963, and NOT postcards

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. It does NOT have to say "A Book About Death" anywhere on it.
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 an original ABAD artist, LuAnn T. Palazzo (TheDesignDiva.net), and also displayed at the exhibition.

The exhibited book(s) will go into the permanent collection of the Second Avenue Firehouse Gallery. After the show comes down, I will also make books from the displayed pages in hopes that the MoMA, NY will want them!

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.

The two pages are then to be mailed to the gallery in Bay Shore, NY for exhibition.
DEADLINE FOR PHYSICAL PAGES TO BE IN THE GALLERY: JULY 15, 2011.
All submissions will also be posted on this blog. Please email those in 180 ppi jpg file format.
