Visible Heavens from 1850 - 2008

description

Artist's book published in conjunction with the show "Evening All Afternoon" held November 28, 2007 - January 13, 2008 at the Charles H. Scott Gallery, Emily Carr Institute, Vancouver. Edited by Kathy Slade. "Vancouver artist Andrew Dadson has based his book around a star map from 1850. The original map was photocopied, and each subsequent copy was re-photocopied. ...each photocopy represents a year in the decline from 'heaven to earth.' From start to finish the map changes from an accurate vision of the stars above to an abstracted blackness depicting the new 'heaven' in the year 2008." -- publisher's statement.
