Wonders in the Heavens and on the Earth

Description

Wonders in the Heavens and on the Earth is an adaptation of an exhibition from half a century ago: July, August, September 1969, which was curated by Seth Siegelaub. The exhibition consisted of the works of eleven artists, scattered around the globe, with each work located in a different place. The catalogue was the only way in which one could experience the exhibition in its entirety, and find information about where each work was situated. The book-as-exhibition is the starting point for an experiment with the production and distribution of art during an epidemic freeze: the crisis of mobility, the regimen of physical distancing, the yearning for the tactile and material world.
