The Positions and Situations Project: Back-to-the-Land Letters is a series of three artist books consisting of 100 letter correspondences between artist Alex Arzt and 1970s back-to-the-landers who placed classified ads in magazines like The Mother Earth News. Letters, interviews, archival material, and photographs have been published as three Risograph printed artist books that encompass first-hand stories from the Back-to-the-Land Movement. This third and final volume covers ads placed between 1975 and 1976. At nearly 300 Risograph-printed pages, it includes forewords by author Kate Daloz and artist Fritz Haeg, 35 letters, 4 interviews, and a collection of original 1970s letter responses saved by project participants. - A Magic Mountain
