Stephen Shore at Strand Bookstore
September 9, 2008

Hello collectors! Here is what a slightly edited and hyperlinked email from Jason Polan looks like:

I will be working on a project this weekend at the Editions/Artists' Books Fair. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I will be making drawings for a book called 100 People I Saw At The Editions/Artists' Books Fair. The book will contain 99 people I saw during these three days. Once the drawings are completed I will print the book, in an edition of 100 to be available on Sunday at noon. The book will be available for purchase at the Esopus table at the fair. The book will cost $20. If you choose to purchase a book, you will be drawn in your copy, completing the project and becoming the 100th person in the book.

A limited number of books called POINTS OF INTEREST will also be available at the fair from Glenn Horowitz Bookseller. The work in the book will coincide with an exhibit I am having at the space in East Hampton opening November 15.

An edition was just released on this website.

I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,
Jason.

I just realized that the email neglects to mention one more show that Jason will be in opening this weekend in DC. Who can blame Jason? He's just got so many project going at once. Here are the details:

A FRIEND INDEED: Contemporary Art and the Academy
November 3 - November 28
Katzen Arts Center Rotunda
4400 Massachusetts Ave.
Washington, DC

More Jason here, and here and here!
