The Making of Medieval Rome

Description

In the tradition of conceptual action books, American artist David Horvitz (born 1982) has created a long-form poem developed initially as a collaboration between the artist and his five-year-old daughter.
offers a collection of 32 lessons and short teaching units in the form of a colorful and graphic text-based artist＊s book. From instructions such as “welcome the night into your house” to ※exchange breaths with a plant,§ this publication invites reflection upon the immateriality of the world surrounding us. The prompts also provide the reader with an opportunity to develop a performative action for each lesson, constituting their own personal collection of poetic instruments. The book is enriched with a text by author and Fluxus specialist Natilee Harren.
