Non-Sectarian Crucifixion / levy, d.a.., 1964

 Item
Identifier: CC-28462-29731
Scope and Contents

Image is an oil paint semi-realistic sketch of an individual held on a crucifix. The major colors are browns on a white primed background. Geoffrey Cook who owned the painting wrote to the Sackners that "although d.a. was most secular, he was deeply aware of his Jewishness: 'I am a levy of the levites,' and did not wish to have these paintings seen totally in a Christian historical context. I believe, though, levy was drawn to the suffering represented in our own culture by the icon of the cruxifixion because of the suffering he actually felt in his own life. I don't think that the markings below to the right have a significance, I believe they can be explained by the action painting technique." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents

This book was done while Atchley was teaching at the University of Victoria (1969-1971) in Canada. Although Atchley had a background in fine printing and typesetting, he had dabbled in xerography in Baltimore and conceived of this book as a xerox project. He bought 250 empty three ring notebooks and invited all his friends to contribute up to 10 pages, 250 copies of each page. To encourage participation, the invitation stated that all pages would be included without editing. By the end of the year, there were about 60 contributors. Dana Atchley's "Notebook 1," an assembling, was published in March 1970 about the same time as Assembling No.1, edited by Kostelanetz and Korn.The envelope within the notebook contains ten Fluxus performance direction sheets. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
