Seth Price’s edition, Poem, presents a scanned page from one of the artist’s notebooks. Price made these notes to himself in 2006 and later used them in a self-published book the same year titled Notes on this Show. With the original constellations of thoughts known only to the artist, the disassociated words and phrases cascade down the page into a disquieting poem. Price’s Poem has been printed in black soy ink on fine paper using a digital mimeograph.

Seth Price is an artist, writer and musician born in 1973 in Jerusalem. Price gained notoriety for his seminal essay, Dispersion in 2002, which made a case for the dematerialization of the art object. Dispersion became a departure point for Price’s career, which has been largely marked by materiality as a visceral confrontation with the epithets of capitalism. Price received his BA from Brown University and lectured at colleges, including MIT and Harvard University, in the early 2000s. His work has been included twice in the Whitney Biennial and he has received solo and group exhibitions around the world, including at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens, Museum of Modern Art of Bologna, The Kitchen in New York, and Sculpture Center in New York, among numerous others.
