Anmerkungen:
Seite 3: In July 1971, Bernadette Mayer embarked on an experiment: for one month she exposed a roll of 35mm slide film each day and kept a journal. Later, once she had the film developed, she projected the slides in order to revise and refine her textual record. The project was funded by Holly Solomon to exhibit at her first art space, 98 Greene Street. [...] "Memory" was shown later in 1972, in an abbreviated form (and by appoint ment), in Mayer's home [...] Mayer reworked the text for publication in 1975 by North Atlantic Books [...] More than forty years later, the project was exhibited again at the "Poetry Foundation" in Chicago in 2016 (with new prints made from scans of the original slides) and at "Canada Gallery" in New York City in 2017 which featured the original 1972 grid of photographs. This publication was made from scans of the original slides that are housed at the "Bernadette Mayer papers, special collections & archives", at the University of California, San Diego. This sequence of almost 1150 images varies slightly from the original installation as a few slides were lost in the intervening years, and other images are included that, due to over or under exposure, were not shown in 1972 or the subsequent 2017 exhibition
