Instruction Manual for a New Era Zine by Adelaide Blair

$10.00

“‘Instruction Manual for a New Era’ is a book of event scores: instructions to be performed (or most likely just thought about) by artists and readers. This style of art/writing was devised by the Fluxus movement in the 1960s and 70s, and the most famous user of this form is probably Yoko Ono… Events scores bridge the gap between conceptual art and poetry, and the Pacific Northwest Conceptual Art Center (a conceptual art project) is dedicated to keeping them alive in the public consciousness.” - Adelaide Blair

11” x 8.5”

Adelaide Blair (she/her) is a project-based artist whose research-centered practice allows her to interact with and learn about the world. She is interested in distributed intelligence, and many of her projects involve elements of collaboration or participation. Her subject matter has included ghosts, artificial intelligence, the Greek tragedy Philoctetes, reproductive terms used in printmaking, the Dirty War in Argentina, and networks of corruption in the contemporary art world. She has a Substack newsletter, Sell the Painting, where she mostly writes about the financialization of art, but also uses that space for experimental artmaking and other forms of art writing. Originally from Southern Oregon, Adelaide resides in Seattle, Washington and has an MFA from The Pacific Northwest College of Art.
