Notes
Title page printed in red and black.
Letterpress, with metal-cut decorated initials designed by the artist on t.p. and throughout the text.
An artist's book that interweaves, word-by-word, religious and secular texts, alternating language of the King James Bible New Testament with literary texts that range from Proust to pulp fiction.
Created as part of the artist's installation 'Cultural Negotiation' (Wexner Center for the Arts, 1993), in which approximately 290 copies of 'The Post Testament' were placed alongside 100 volumes of Bing's 'Book of Heaven'--another text-based project that is comprised of letterforms that appear to be (but are not) Chinese.
Library's copy is an artist's proof.
