| Roman Ondák: Measuring the Universe (2008) Documentation of a performance, drawing on paper, Edition of 10 $1200 framed Ordering Information |
|
| Based on the artist’s 2007 project of the same name, in which the height of exhibition visitors was marked on the gallery wall by museum attendants, Measuring the Universe repeats this performance in the collector’s home. For the period of one year, the owner of this edition will mark the height and name of each visitor to their home, along with the date, on a large paper against the wall and at the end of the year the work will be framed. This edition is produced on the occasion of the artist’s participation in the exhibition Passengers at the Wattis Institute, 2008. | |
| Abraham Cruzvillegas Autorretrato Ciego: SF Suite 1-11 (2008) Acrylic on paper, Edition of 11 $800 framed Ordering Information |
|
| This unique edition is composed of a single image carefully selected from the mass media by the artist, and then taken out of circulation. In an unusual play on collage, appropriation, and ownership, the artist backs the image with red acrylic paint and frames it facing inwards so that the image is unseen. This edition is produced on the occasion of the artist’s participation in the exhibition Passengers at the Wattis Institute. | |

| On the occasion of his Capp Street Project residency, Mario Ybarra Jr. created this unique limited-edition New Era baseball cap exclusively for the Wattis Institute.

| An exclusive Limited Edition print produced on the occasion of the Apocalypse Now: The Theater of War exhibition (November 30, 2007–January 26, 2008), curated by the artists Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, and featuring a U.S. soldier during the Iraq war wearing a mask for Halloween. In an extension of their curatorial approach to Apocalypse Now, the artists have consciously obscured the image in order to suggest the historicization of contemporary war-themed documents. | |

 |
| Taking the form of a late 1970s promotional concert poster, this screen-print has been conceived by Tim Lee on the occasion of the artist's Capp Street Project residency. Printed on reflective mirrored paper, the viewer sees oneself reading the poster. Lacking a defined top or bottom, the poster functions similarly to Lee's new photographs produced while a Capp Street Project artist-in-residence at the Wattis Institute. | |
