A BOOK ABOUT DEATH was launched as an underground, global art project
in September 2009 at the Emily Harvey Foundation Gallery in New York
City, New York. It was conceived and curated by American artist Matthew
Rose as an open, unbound book on the subject of death. Taking the name, A
Book About Death from the artist Ray Johnson, Rose paid homage to the
founder of mail art and at the same time offered artists to explore the
theme of death through post card sized works in an edition of 500; thus
the “book.”
The NYC exhibition was extremely well attended and set off a
series of exhibitions around the world – ABAD – numbering thus far, 27,
the most recent taking place in Australia in the Fall of 2013. With an archival set of the
New York ABAD show (487 works) new exhibitions touch upon particular,
local themes but draw from a growing and global well of artists. All
exhibitions invite artists to mail in their works, usually in post card
format.
The Royal Cambrian Academy ABAD Show in Wales will be the 28th ‘A
Book about Death’ exhibition. Included will be the work from the original 2009
New York exhibition, as well as works from from ABAD Wales at MoMA
Machynlleth. This show is being organized by Sonja Benskin Mesher, an artist that participated in the original show and also curated the 2010 show at the MoMA Wales.
