Christopher C. Cook, Possibles

Not dated (1969), 56 pp. Inventory of potential exhibition concepts for the Addison Museum of American Art in Andover Mass. Proposals include a 'space sale', 'buying a car' and a photography floor show (with 10.000 pictures on the floor to be handled as fit by the visitors). Some ideas were realized, such as the Douglas Huebler retrospective. The catalogue for this 1970 exhibition, edited by Cook and Huebler, is added in this lot.

+ Christopher C. Cook, A book of instants, published by Mary-Leigh Smart,1970. The 30 pp. book just mentions date, year and time of an unspecified (autobiographic) occasion, ending on August 24 1970, 8:14:9.2663 p.m. All copies feature age wear on the exterior (Possibles is very grubby), but interiors are fine. Very rare artists' books, only listed at MoMA/Avalanche Magazine Archives and the Jean Brown collection. *Cook was assistant director (1964) and later director of the Addison Museum (1969-1989). In 1967 he curated 'Feelies: The Nature of Things Perceived Through Touch', an early interactive exhibition that encouraged a greater range of sensory experience.
