This event has ended.

Printed Matter, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of With Love From Haha, a publication documenting the 20-year history of the artists’ collective Haha. Since its inception in 1988, the art collective Haha has created twenty-one projects— including sculptural installations, community-based projects, and video works— in the United States and Europe. Members Richard House, Wendy Jacob, Laurie Palmer, and John Ploof have shown these projects in an innovative range of locations, from the expected (galleries and museums) to the utterly unexpected (storefronts, the hallway outside the Chicago City Council chambers, and the roof of a roving taxi). Haha's works are ephemeral, closely interwoven with the times and places where they are shown; "With Love From Haha" presents a range of the collective's projects in book form for the first time. "With Love From Haha" is far more than just a catalog, however. Five contributors, from the fields of art, art history, urban studies, and anthropology, have come together to provide fresh new perspectives on the group's work. Essays by Doug Ashford, Brett Bloom, Margaret Crawford, David Deitcher, and Franco LaCecla explore such topics as temporality, everyday life, and the place of collaboration.
