Punning “late editions”, when newspapers used to release an evening edition of breaking news, with “late addition,” as in an afterthought or correction, this print-media based series aims to put the current exhibition and the overall exhibition space up for review by artists and architects. Instead of following the conventions of newspaper publishing, these responses take the form of a new artwork “edition” that will serve as a compliment, retort, or even as non-sequitur.
Once formatted, these prints will be nested into LentSpace’s own program guide as inserts and distributed on-site in newspaper distribution boxes for free, while supplies last. By appropriating the newspaper distribution boxes in LentSpace as a gallery in-itself, each edition will become both part of the larger exhibition and the exhibition site, yet will also serve as a take-home gift — often found by surprise — for any visitor.
Keeping in mind that these works will be publicly circulated, hoarding or other “appropriations” beyond the typically intended reception of the art object, such as using the paper as material for packing glass, furthers the idea of trespass as commented upon by the Points and Lines exhibition. The participating New York-based artists and architects all have a history of working with related themes of appropriation and print based projects in general, as well as, sharing an interest in the newspaper format and similar distribution practices.
Editions are released serially one per month from September 2009 through December 2009.
