The room is filling up! We should have the floor covered by the end of the day today and be able cover it with giant Plexiglas sheets. Timing is tight, but I expect that we can complete the installation by tomorrow's opening.
Hello Jerry, my name is Dylan and I'm 14 years-old. I found out about your famous artwork when I was researching ways to make my own city map. Your work inspired me and I'm hoping to someday submit a guest panal. The only problem is that I don't know how to be creative enough to think about how to make a map that evolves and lives like yours does. It would be great if we could get into contact so I could ask you some questions about your map and the caqrds you use. My email is greenepicman2@gmail.com. Good luck with the display!
Jerry's Map
In the summer of 1963 I began drawing a map of an imaginary city. The work started as a doodle done in the spare time I had while working at a tedious job. I continued to add to that map through the years until, in 1983, I set it aside to put my free time to other use.
The Map was stored in the attic of our home in Cold Spring, New York. It gathered dust. My son, Henry, found it one day while rummaging around. He brought it down to me and asked what it was. Seeing it then triggered me to dust it off and continue the project.
It now comprises almost 3100 individual eight by ten inch panels. Its execution, in acrylic, marker, colored pencil, ink, collage, and inkjet print on heavy paper, is dictated by the interplay between an elaborate set of rules and randomly generated instructions.

ReplyDeleteKeep up the work, Dylan! Your creativity will come with time. Maybe it's time for me to have another AMA on reddit!
