Well, the two travelling art books are on their way! Book II has been passed on to a fabulous artist, Justin "Scrappers" Morrison. Justin was born on Vancouver Island BC & grew up in Los Angeles county and currently lives and works in Portland. Check out his work!
AshelyG has contributed a beautiful piece inside Book I. Her contribution can be seen in the pictures section. Book I has been passed over to Kelly Lynn Jones. Kelly lives in San Francisco, CA where she makes clothes and paints. Looking forward to the next stage.

THE LAST BOOK
(A Project by Luis Camnitzer, sponsored by the National Library of Spain)
Open call for collaborations
The Last Book is a project to compile written as well as visual statements in which the authors may leave a legacy for future generations. The premise of the project is that book-based culture is coming to an end. On one hand, new technologies have introduced cultural mutations by transferring information to television and the Internet. On the other, there has been an increasing deterioration in the educational systems (as much in the First World as on the periphery) and a proliferation of religious and anti-intellectual fundamentalisms. The Last Book will serve as a time-capsule and leave a document and testament of our time, as well as a stimulus for a possible reactivation of culture in case of disappearance by negligence, catastrophe or conflagration.
Contributions to this project will be limited to one page and may be e-mailed to lastbook.madrid@gmail.com or mailed to Luis Camnitzer, 124 Susquehanna Ave., Great Neck NY 11021, USA. In case of submission of originals, these will not be returned. The book will be exhibited as an installation at the entrance of the Museum of the National Library of Spain in Madrid at some point of 2008. Pages will be added during the duration of the project, with the intention of an eventual publication of an abridged version selected by Luis Camnitzer, curator of the project. The tentative deadline is October 15, 2008.
This call is open and we hope that it will be resent to as many potential contributors as possible.
