The Assemblagist

I’m cur­rently involved in quite the project.

My goal is 200 artist’s books (see pre­vi­ous posts) but rather than enclose the books in some type of box­like con­trap­tion of my own choos­ing, I’m going to give them all away. I have large, heavy card­board tubes (given to me by local freestyle site par­tic­i­pant) that are 2 – 4 feet in length and 3 – 6 inches in diam­e­ter. These flux­tubes will dis­pense the match­book artist books, sim­i­lar to a pub­lic restroom con­dom dis­penser. Gross anal­ogy. Per­haps “sim­i­lar to a tam­pon dis­penser” or … pick your image.

Pho­tos of the entire project online tonight. Pic­ture this in your mind as a preview:

remove matches from match­book
fold pages taken from a 1930’s third grade arith­metic book, then cut to cre­ate 8 pages
insert into match­book and sta­ple at top.

more later…
