exquisite history {ex:hi}

ex:hi Volume 1, The Land of Wandering is available through the University of Virginia Press. ($35)

Exquisite History {ex:hi} is an ongoing collaborative project emanating from the University of Virginia printshop. ex:hi involves nearly thirty artists and writers, a whole lot of art making, the issuing of a series of three books modeled after the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicles, and three corresponding art installations. The first of the three, The Land of Wandering is structured after the book of genesis. It considers our origins- the beginning or becoming- and sets up recurring human narratives. The second, The New World, will be personal and historical reflections that will lead us to into the present. The Third, The Gates of Heaven, then, will encompass visions and proposals for the future.
