"A Book About Death" is a collaborative project conceived by American artist Matthew Rose for the Emily Harvey Foundation in New York City, where the original exhibition took place from September 10 – 22, 2009. The exhibition paid special homage to Ray Johnson (1927-1995), acknowledged as the “Father of Mail Art”. And the project, in its sprawling global reach explored how we celebrate memory and death.” The exhibition opened with a packed house, and a line snaking up Broadway more than 500 people long waiting to get in the doors to make their own book. Since then, the exhibition has traveled to MUBE - Museu Brasileiro da Escultura in Sao Paulo, Brazil; Otis College of Art and Design in LA; The River Mill Art Gallery in New Jersey; The Mobius Gallery in Boston, MA; The Queens Museum in Queens, NY; San Diego State University in Calexico, CA; as well as other venues in Belgium, Sarajevo, Croatia, and MoMA Wales. Complete sets of “A Book About Death" have entered into the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, NYC, and the LA County Museum of Art Research Library.

In 1896, composer Edward MacDowell and pianist Marian MacDowell bought a farm in Peterborough, New Hampshire. After falling prematurely ill, Edward told his wife that he wished to give the same creative experience to other artists. Edward lived to see the first Fellows arrive, but it was under Marian’s leadership that support for the Colony increased, most of the 32 studios were built, and the artistic program grew and flourished. At its founding, the Colony was an experiment with no precedent. Now it has provided crucial time and space to more than 6,000 artists.
