PDF-OBJECTS
Organized by artists Jason Lazarus (Florida) and Sean Ward (New York), PDF-OBJECTS is a growing collection of artist selected text-object pairings.
Participating artists for the PDF-OBJECTS debut exhibition at Mana Contemporary in Chicago were asked to submit to organizers: (1) a single PDF of a text that has significantly impacted their practice, (2) a description of a commonly available object under $20 USD, and (3) instructions on how to sculpturally pair the PDF and commonly available object for display and audience engagement.

PDF-OBJECTS is an invitation into the artist’s thinking and practice–an embodied library, a sculptural field–each object a footnote to the text, and vice versa. The design of the project encourages new moments of scholarship, pedagogy, and intimacy for the artists and audience(s).
Future iterations of PDF/OBJECTS are being planned internationally. For project inquiries, email pdfobjects@gmail.com. PDF-OBJECTS will appear at Exgirlfriend in Berlin Germany, November 2017.
