Artist couple and a baby's lives and thoughts in 100 posterworks

//LetterMidst Feature 
Artist couple Anna Gray and Ryan Wilson Paulsen used plain posterworks in black and white images to create this 2-yr-long, 100 Posterworks art project about they lives, philosophical questions, comment on political or artistic issues.

The work is witty, thought-provoking and fun-to-view (look at their straight faces!).  I was thinking "It's so cool to have artist parents!" when I was reading it.  Afterall, whose baby album was shown in art exhibitions?


"Drawing on the histories of conceptual art, activism and advertising, this collection of 100 black and white images, each created with a standard composition and hand-painted sign, was made to encourage and participate in, public dialogue. Through the posters we address philosophical questions, comment on political or artistic issues, quote, complain, poke fun and indirectly document our lives. They can be read as a kind of cumulative (and often contradictory) artist statement. The 100 Posterworks are disseminated nationally through the mail to a revolving list of recipients."
