YES IT'S TRUE! A 10TH ANNIVERSARY ABAD IN 2019!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A CALL FOR AN EDITION OF 500 POSTCARDS/PIECES FROM EACH ARTIST, just like the original call from 2009. Please do not send only one copy.

 It's official – I am bringing the 10th Anniversary Edition of ABAD to Long Island in 2019. The Islip Art Museum in East Islip, NY will host and the show will run from September 14 - November 2, 2019.

I do this in honor Matthew and Ray. I do this in order to grow our international ABAD family and foster creative bonds and understanding across the world in some small way. I do this for love.

It will be the same call as the original in 2009 – 500 postcards on the theme of death from global artists. And here it is:

OPEN ARTIST CALL : A BOOK ABOUT DEATH 10th Anniversary Edition 2019
A BOOK ABOUT DEATH: AN UNBOUND BOOK ON THE SUBJECT OF DEATH

An Open Call To Artists Worldwide To Contribute To The Tenth Anniversary Edition of
A BOOK ABOUT DEATH.

Opening, Saturday, 14 September 2019.   
Exhibition: 14 September– 2 November 2019. Islip Art Museum, Brookwood Hall, 50 Irish Lane, East Islip, NY 11730 USA

Artists Each Produce Their Edition Of 500 Postcards In The Sprawling Unbound 1000-Page A Book About Death.  The Book Will Be A Limited Edition: 500 Copies (Following The Number Of Artist Produced Cards).

A BOOK ABOUT DEATH is an open, unbound book produced by artists worldwide. Artists are invited to create a “page” in the form of a postcard about death– any aspect about death. Works can be of any design, personal or conceptual, color or black and white.

The original work about death stays with you, the artist. The 500 postcards produced from the work is for the exhibition, and are sent to the museum.

Artists can include any information about themselves on the cards, front or back. There are no taboos here, no age limits, no areas or ideas that are prohibited.  The exhibition organizers only ask that you submit good work, worthy of an interesting and exciting page in this global book

The 500 post cards are then mailed to the gallery in New York for exhibition. DEADLINE FOR CARDS TO BE IN THE GALLERY: AUGUST 14, 2019.

A BOOK ABOUT DEATH takes its inspiration from the late, underground American artist Ray Johnson (1927 - 1995). Ray Johnson’s unbound “book” of the same title was mailed to his New York Correspondence School “students” and included pages in his idiosyncratic style that were funny, sad and ironic “one-page essays” on death.  With the A BOOK ABOUT DEATH project, artists are invited to plunge into subject in creating their own pages that score the dramatic final dance of death.

EXHIBITION & EVENT: Each artist contribution will be displayed in the  Islip Art Museum in New York. Visitors will be free to take cards and create their own book about death. As the cards are removed, the exhibition will disappear.

HOW TO SUBMIT
1. Produce an artwork about death. Make 500 postcards and mail the package to slip Art Museum, Brookwood Hall, 50 Irish Lane, East Islip, NY 11730 USA.  All submissions will be accepted if they arrive in time.  Artists may produce more than one card design if they wish.

DEADLINE: Postcards should be in the gallery no later than 14 August 2019.

WHERE TO SEND THE 500 POSTCARDS:
Islip Art Museum
Brookwood Hall
50 Irish Lane
East Islip, NY 11730 USA
Tel +1 631-224-5420

2. Once images are produced, a light-weight jpg should be e mailed to LUANN PALAZZO, along with the artist’s name and URL (artist web site address) for publication on the blog – http://abookaboutdeath.blogspot.com/.  This will allow the organizers to archive the works and artist details. Other artists will also be able to visit the exhibition in progress.

IMPORTANT NOTE: WHEN YOU SEND IN YOUR IMAGES IN JPG FORMAT, SEND LARGE IMAGES (about 300K each; 900 x 600 pixels). THIS WAY THEY WILL BE HIGHLY VISIBLE ON THIS  BLOG AND WEB SITE.

Note: An “official” website is now being created by artist Caterina Verde at the address: A BOOK ABOUT DEATH

TECHNICAL DETAILS
The artist is 100 percent responsible for her/his image and card and delivery to the museum.

FORMAT: Postcards should be at least 4 x 6 inches or 10 x 15 cm, but can be any size, but no larger than A4 or 8 1/2 x 11 inches.

To unify the edition, include the words “A BOOK ABOUT DEATH” on your cards or CDs, DVDs or objects.

PRINTING OPTIONS: You can either produce the cards yourself or upload the file to any number of printers for delivery to the museum. You, as the artist are in complete control of your artwork and cards.

Option 1: A very inexpensive online printer offers extremely reasonable prices for a 4 x 6 inch (or 10 x 15 cm) card. PDF upload or online design is possible. Payment directly to the printer via MasterCard, PayPal, VISA are options.

Option 2: Alternately, artists are free to produce their own cards locally if they need to supervise print and image quality. Artists can sign and number their cards if they wish.

Option 3: Artists can also produce handmade cards, however, these cards must be in an edition of 500 to ensure continuity with other images.  Artists can sign and number their handmade cards if they would like. Variety in paper and material is encouraged.

COST/FEES
Unfortunately, we cannot pay any artist or production fees. Each artist has to finance production and delivery.  Like in life.

LASTLY: The organizers will not collect cards for the artists. We ask that those visiting the museum only take one set per person, leaving enough for others.

Institutions who wish to have a complete book will have to come to the gallery space and get their own pages/cards or assign someone to do it for them.  The organizers are not responsible for the cards, but will see to it that all cards received are displayed and available to visitors. The organizers are not responsible for the return of any remaining cards; should there be any remaining cards, these will become part of the Islip Art Museum archive.

SPREAD THE WORD
This kind of exhibition functions best when one artist contacts another and encourages participation. We would like to have a large and inclusive “book,” one that touches upon the broad subject of death in many languages and cultures. Blog, e-mail, Facebook, Instagram, post the web address of this site all over the web. It will produce a more interesting exhibition to have thousands of artists participate.

Please note that A BOOK ABOUT DEATH is not a commercial venture.

MORE INFORMATION will be posted as it develops. I am working on a dedicated website for this show.
