RAIN RIEN NEVERMIND may be listed as peripheral persipatation please spell that pair-if-ferrel party-sip-pation, as beverages were past around and no one passed out. The Boop About Breath passed the test.
Thanks for posting the list of participants... now posted at the Otis College of Art and Design ongoing exhibition of A Book About Death, 9045 Lincoln Blvd., LA, CA, 90045.
Browsing today's NYT (10/23/09) I cam across these letters in response to Denis Dutton's piece on Conceptual Art and the art market and the varying response to ideas in art. I thought it might be useful to read these letters with regards to the conceptual aspects of A Book About Death as an exhibition, and also note the hidden question of value that rides along with not only individual artist's works in the exhibition, but the complete set of the "book" itself. The "free" exhibition talked in its own way about value. And no, Damien Hirst did not participate, so don't bother looking for him on the above list.

Love the Concept. But Is It Art?
To the Editor:
In “Has Conceptual Art Jumped the Shark Tank?” (Op-Ed, Oct. 16), Denis Dutton begins by condemning an entire genre on the basis of its noisiest, worst examples. (If I don’t like the work of Thomas Kinkade, do I have to dismiss landscapes, still lifes and representational paintings of houses?)
From there, he segues into an appreciation of skill and finely honed craft. I, too, am a great admirer of skill, craft and beauty, but this does not preclude my getting something — something different perhaps — from the best conceptual art.
And often the most powerful artwork is that which balances visceral sensory impact with intellectual content. I love seeing the hand of the maker, but the dichotomy of the hand and the head adds another level of complexity to the experience.
There are cynical hucksters in every area of the arts, but that doesn’t mean that “the arts” are corrupt. The important distinction is not between “conceptual art” and “real art” but between good art and not-so-good art.

To the Editor:
Denis Dutton says that one admires conceptual art “not for skillful hands-on execution by the artist, but for the artist’s creative concept.”
But if I, instead of the already established Damien Hirst, had conceived of and then created (or had someone else create, at my direction) a shark floating in a vat of formaldehyde, it’s unlikely that anyone would have paid $12, much less $12 million, for the product.
Clearly, then, much of the “value” of the floating shark is attributable to the prestige attached to owning “a Hirst.”
Similarly, while it may be true, as Mr. Dutton claims, that artistic technique and craftsmanship help make it possible to “find beauty,” the technique and craftsmanship necessary to reproduce virtually exactly the work of, say, a Van Gogh sunflower will not create for the forgery anywhere near the “value” of the original, notwithstanding that few could distinguish between the two paintings were they hanging side by side.
Owning the forgery is simply not the same as owning the original, and prestige, not “beauty,” accounts for much of the difference.

To the Editor:
Three cheers for Denis Dutton. I have spent years studying the art market. I’ve always believed that there’s no remotely sure way of telling which of today’s artists will be regarded as important centuries hence.
But I have learned one thing: over the long run, the market values artists who are original for how they paint, rather than artists who are original for what they paint.
So I would not bet on the long-term reputation of any artist who doesn’t physically engage in the creative process at all, but rather who phones his studio (or, as Andy Warhol honestly put it, his “Factory”) with instructions to be carried out by his employees.

To the Editor:
In a well-known essay from 1967, the artist Sol Lewitt offered this dictum: “Conceptual art is only good when the idea is good.” Sensible advice for 1967, and for 2009.
Perhaps Mr. Lewitt’s observation might help Denis Dutton and others distinguish the intellectual and aesthetic bankruptcy of some of Damien Hirst’s least interesting work from more successful contemporary examples of conceptual art.
Perhaps it might also point toward a more worthwhile discussion of works by deeply thoughtful and serious artists from the past like Piero Manzoni and Joseph Kosuth in terms of their significance to the history of art, rather than their status as commodities that have failed or will fail to hold their market share.
