Loosee

Letha Wilson - White Sands Bend

Loosee is a new project I'm launching May 1st. Loosee is a monthly, single page edition print that explores images as objects. Each month, an artist is invited to create an edition with the following constraints:

1. The piece must fit on a single piece of 11 x 14 inch paper.
2. The viewer of the work completes the piece through various operations; folding, cutting, creasing, rolling, etc.
3. Instructions for activating the work are part of the work.

Each work is available as a signed and numbered print in an edition of 25. The first edition of Loosee is by Letha Wilson, you can check out the site here. Order one today and you will receive it in early May.

Culturehall: Out of Hand curated by Ethan Greenbaum

The artists in Out of Hand deal with issues of language and legibility. Their projects arise from divergent motivations, yet each navigates a space where the clarity of a text or artistic idiom is confounded by a multiplicity of forces. Whether the subject is a novel, digital photography or an email sign off, the works compel an expanded awareness of language and add a surfeit of meaning to our understanding of authorship and comprehension.
