Ari Benjamin Meyers

The first artist's book by Ari Benjamin Meyers is conceived as the final chapter of a three-part project, and completes the journey begun with his two exhibitions: 'Tacet' and 'In Concert'. Very different in content and presentation, the two shows were held almost consecutively during 2019. In Tacet a series of recent works by the artist were exhibited - such as scores, objects, and ephemera - and for the entire duration of the exhibition a single performer called "the archivist" recorded his own reflections and those of the visitors. During the six weeks of In Concert a group of eight performers followed a meta-composition by Meyers, wherein seven of his performance works were intertwined with each other.
