A BOOK ABOUT DEATH : ARTISTS CONTRIBUTE 500 POST CARDS EACH TO CREATE AN UNBOUND BOOK ABOUT DEATH. EXHIBITION AT THE EMILY HARVEY FOUNDATION GALLERY IN NEW YORK CITY. OPENING: THURSDAY 10 SEPTEMBER 2009. EXHIBITION: 10 - 22 SEPTEMBER 2009. TUES - SAT 1 PM - 7PM.
Dear Matthew and Kathleen, I read this: Matthew: Since I read the post saying that you had some negative reactions from a couple of participants about the project, I want to communicate my reflections about the project to you. First, I am sorry for the loss of your mother. I think that on some level, we become orphans when our parents die, no matter what our age.
My short answer: I think, these project is a mayor one and I believe, everyone or almost everyone of the participiants know a little about death, know a little about loosing a human being who was really close ... It is a feeling of sadness and anger.
And if you lose your mother, it is a kind of loosing a mirror. And this experience give the pain.
But I do not want to tell and reflect on this blog these delicate subject. This blog seems for me an enormous starting point with an enormous quality of expression of yourself, with an enormous power of visible pictures . I liked the variety of images. Perhaps animating the whole images to a movie and reading the text!
I feel the death of this blog is if you scroll down. And down and scroll is sometimes painful. Sorry for my english.
And I can imagine a kind of printed book, if you take photographs of the computer screen.
