Names & Poems
1999
typewriter, cards
In January/February of 1999, I showed some sculptures and maps and a film at the Chicago Project Room. Instead of the traditional guest book, near the entrance to the gallery I placed my typewriter, and a box of blank cards, with the instructions: IF YOU TYPE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS ON ONE SIDE OF A POSTCARD I WILL WRITE A SMALL POEM FOR YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE AND MAIL IT TO YOU. Over the course of the following months I did this, and then I made a book with those names and their corresponding poems.
