There are no other books like this, that explore the intersection of image, sound, still and moving image, and performance to create an experimental book work, the book as performance art and participatory experience. Includes a USB drive containing video performance art and sound art that accompanied the live installation documented by this book.An illustrated essay by art historian/critic Jennifer Gonzalez deftly places the project in a context of the history of installation art, curiosity cabinets, and developments in fine art book-making.The introduction by book artist Felicia Rice tells the story of the collaboration, from its inception to completion as a traveling multi-media artbook installation, replete with video projections and sound art to accompany an altar-style interactive suitcase of objects, including a codex-style book containing performance texts that interact with fine art printmaking. Gomez-Pena is an internationally renowned artist with a wide following whose work deals with issues of identity across borders. This book presents his performance texts in context of visual, video and sound art collaborators.Felicia Rice has previously published the Codex Espangliensis in collaboration with Gomez-Pena, a groundbreaking, influential work that is in special collections and libraries world wide.
