description

Artists' book composed of photographic elements. Introduction by William Spurlock, essay by Walter Abish. "This book is not a document of an exhibition or a catalogue in the traditional sense, but a book issued on the occasion of the exhibition of a project work by Cecile Abish (March 1978). The contents of this publication do not physically relate to the untitled sculptural installation but do exemplify the artist's perceptual disposition, that which encompasses and transcends both. The reader / viewer of this book is presented with an original work (published here for the first time) which presents the artist's current visual and conceptual concerns. Within this context, this book becomes a 'multiple' which extends the original work to a much larger public than might otherwise participate in the experience of an exhibition." -- from introduction by Spurlock.
