PUBLISHED BY ICI PRESS

The Institute of Cultural Inquiry (ICI) / ICI Press is pleased to announce the publication of 53 Mondays, a limited edition art book featuring the work of ICI Associate, P. Posey.

53 Mondays starts and ends at the beginning, a fresh start to a new week – Monday. The book provides a rare glimpse into the daily, meditative studio practice of P. Posey, an artist who has created a unique image in a 6 x 6 inch spiral notebook every day for the past 14 years.  Each drawing, over 5,000 so far, provides a different take on the world around us; one day’s drawing may be a precise botanical study, the next a collage with maps and the following a text and image from memory. Taking the form of one of Posey’s many sketchbooks, 53 Mondays reproduces all of Monday’s drawings from 2018, a year which began and ended on a Monday.

In her own words, Posey’s ongoing daily drawing ritual is “a visual diary, an archive, and a way to mark time.” She has no intention of ever stopping.

53 Mondays is available in 3 editions: Standard, Deluxe and Collector’s (all copies are signed and numbered).

• The Standard Edition is a signed and numbered book.
• The Deluxe Edition of the book includes a removable foldout calendar of all 365 drawings from 2018.
• The Collector’s Edition includes the book, foldout calendar, and a matted digital print of one drawing from the book along with an individual note from the artist about the drawing. Each boxed set in the edition of 30 contains a single edition of a different drawing and note.

All three editions are now available. However, our Gift Shop is currently under renovation. If you are interested in purchasing this edition, contact the ICI at this address: staff at culturalinquiry dot org.
