For the next several days textoftheday is showing samples from a recently completed artist book project by Jude Walton. An Officially Dead Book (2006-2010) was buried, exhumed, photographed, and its demise recorded by the artist after she came across a book entitled Officially Dead in a secondhand bookshop in Daylesford, Victoria, Australia in August 2006. The book, written by Quentin Reynolds, is the story of a Commander C.D. Smith during the Second World War. After reading it, Walton buried it in the garden, marking the spot with a large stone, on September 3rd 2006. She then began a process of exhumation and reburial. The samples shown here reveal some of that process. A selection of photographs was also printed and made into an accordion hand folded book by Jason Workman, keeping the same dimensions of the original.

An Evolving Lexicon of Terms: a residency by Mark Jeffery and Judd Morrissey.
Friday October 22nd – Monday November 1st 2010
The curators are pleased to announce a residency by Chicago-based writing and performance duo Mark Jeffery and Judd Morrissey, who will write in response to their current joint project, The Precession, a poetic and performance-based investigation of labor, monumentality and the night sky. The residency is the second collaborative project commissioned for the site. In March 2010 textoftheday hosted a residency from artists Zsuzsa Mitro and Chris Funkhouser, who posted twenty-one days of collaborative poetics.
This second collaborative residency explores the interface between writing and imaging, as the artists contribute found and generated images made through a process of writing and manipulating digital material. During the residency the artists will write each day in response to an evolving lexicon of terms ultimately designated for The Precession, initially posting to their Twitter account, theprecession, and then processing their writing computationally and visualizing it for textoftheday.
Judd Morrissey and Mark Jeffery are collaborating artists whose work draws from and combines digital literary and performance practices. For information about their recent work see their recent blog on Studio Chicago: http://studiochicago.blogspot.com/2010/07/studio-is-anywhere.html.
The Precession is being developed as a 10-screen installation for the 80 foot digital facade of the Hyde Park Art Center where the artists are now in-residence. The exhibition will launch in December followed by performances in March 2011. A single-screen work-in-progress can be viewed at: http://theprecession.org.
