A Book About Death @MOMA Wales curated by Sonja Benskin Mesher
Sonja Benskin Mesher RCA has organized a new exhibition of A Book About Death with the original works from New York and a new call for works.
A Book About Death is a collaborative project conceived by American artist Matthew Rose for the Emily Harvey Foundation in New York City, where the original exhibition took place from September 10 – 22, 2009. The exhibition paid special homage to Ray Johnson (1927-1995), acknowledged as the Father of Mail Art.
And the project, in its sprawling global reach explored how we celebrate memory and death.
