ORIGIN AND APPROXIMATE DATE OF POSSESSION OF OBJECT: Purchased from Tekserve, Macintosh dealer on 163 West 23rd Street, New York, NY 10011 (since moved) in May, 2006 prior to my teaching assignment at John Cabot University in Rome, Italy. The printer was never used outside my studio.

MOST RECENT LOCATION OF OBJECT: On my work desk in my studio at 300 Observer Highway, Hoboken, NJ 07030. Desk is in the southeast corner of my studio.

RELATION OF OBJECT TO RECIPIENT: Refer to: Object #27 PowerBook. Insert here up to sentence beginning: “This PowerBook has been used almost exclusively as a glorified typewriter,… Delete that sentence and remainder of text and add the following: The Apple Printer stopped working properly despite my efforts to repair and re-tool it. I had no luck at all. The printer is of course quite out of date, slow, and not powerful in any respect. I stopped trying to use it and recently bought an Epson 2400, which is a larger scale archival printer. But because of John’s electronic and mechanical skills he will, I am sure, make use of the small Apple printer, if he can coax it to work properly.

RESPONSE OF RECIPIENT:

DATE OF RESPONSE:

Process: My plan is to de-accumulate objects I now own during the course of the exhibition year. I will photograph the selected object then send the object with a letter to a person who has some relationship to the object or whom I think might be interested in the object. The letter will discuss the project and tell the receiver they can keep the object, destroy it, give it away, recycle it or anything else they choose. I will ask them to document it in the place they now have it and send their image and/or written description back to me of what they did with it and where it is. I plan on de-accumulating an average of one object per week. The new images/descriptions will be placed in a plastic folder and exhibited along with a photograph of the object as it was in my possession.
