Mcewen, Adam / Obituaries

From The Nursery

“ADAM MCEWEN wrote actual obituaries for The Daily Telegraph in London before he ever turned the genre into artwork, writing obituaries for still living and breathing celebrities like Kate Moss and Jeff Koons (he's done nine in total and has three more on the way). Seeing news in an art gallery of someone dead who is still so obviously alive is like creating a black hole on the wall-which seems to be an effect that McEwen, age 43, now living and working in New York, is particularly good at making.” Here, McEwen reads two obituaries he’s written for artist RICHARD PRINCE and rock band THE MELVINS. Limited edition of 400 copies on white vinyl. Copies have slight corner damage.
