A Humument (1966-73), Tom Phillips

In 1966, Phillips set himself a task: to find a second-hand book for threepence and alter every page by painting, collage, and cut-up techniques to create an entirely new version. He found his threepenny novel in a junkshop on Peckham Rye, South London. This was an 1892 Victorian obscurity titled ‘A Human Document’ by W.H Mallock and he titled his altered book ‘A Humument’. It is now one of the best known and loved of all 20th Century artist’s books and is regarded as a seminal classic of postmodern art.

i was lucky to see it at MassMoCA last month, very interesting!

Local Provincetown Paper

PROVINCETOWN —

Russian painter and sound artist Alexei Biryukoff’s first solo show, which involved male nudity, was shut down by officials in Siberia, where Biryukoff was born and raised. Despite being banned from the Russian public, the show received international exposure and inspired the artist to pursue working in his chosen area of interest.

Since then, Biryukoff has moved to New Jersey. His work is represented by the Patty DeLuca Gallery, which is hosting an opening reception for his latest solo show from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 29, at the DeLuca Gallery, 432 Commercial St., Provincetown.
