Dear Rick Astley Please Forgive Me
Copies available here.
A short memoir of an awkward young girl sending hate mail to Rick Astley through apology letters as an adult. It was the 80’s; she was a pre-teen troll, pre-internet.
The book includes five open letters to Rick Astley, over fifty drawings and a corner flip book. In addition to the charming narrative, the book tackles themes of collecting , ownership and authenticity through it’s graphic exploration of Rick Astley collectibles from the 80s and their the secondary market value.
This book works together as a conceptual art project with the NFT collection Dear RICK ASTLEY where each drawing from the book is a single NFT. The images were drawn digitally using actual collectibles for sale on the web as reference. By listing these drawings on a digital collectibles market–where an NFT retains it’s grace & beauty for all time without having to depend on the owner’s camera skills or lighting techniques to best represent and resell it–the Dear RICK collection’s traits include how the original listing was styled and photographed as well as how Rick appears in the image.

Of all of the 122,730 words that were used to write the May-2011 issues of Art Forum, Art Review and Frieze Magazines, 95% of them were used in more than just one article. 5,842 of these words about art are considered unique, only to be found within one article in all of the three magazines. All contents were digitalized and analyzed in a databank for word repetition between articles. Every word which appeared in more than one article was then blacked out in all three magazines.
All cats are grey in the dark. In language the art is black.
