Description

1 wooden box (30 cards) : illustrations; 21 x 16 x 3 cm

Summary

The Pothi Box, presented here for the first time, is an unbound book of thirty image cards held together in a wooden structure. The box is meant to be hung on a wall or placed on a table. The set of images, which depict archival documents and materials, are not to be separated from each other or the box. The structure, however, has been built to allow the collector to change the front cover image as they please. Pothi Box has been published in a limited edition of 360 and is available in exhibition format only, acquired directly off the wall where another object will take its place. It is the book object version of the larger Pothi Khana museum structure, which will be on view at the 57th Carnegie International at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh concurrently with the pop-up shop at Callicoon Fine Arts. -- Callicoon Fine Arts.
