here are some things i found.
If anyone has recommendations of artist's who use writing, pleeease send them my way!
I am interested in this for both the content of the works as well as the various presentation methods.
From Sophie Calle's 2009 project Take Care of Yourself with various women artists.
French conceptual artist Sophie Calle has invited guests into her temporary bedroom in the Eiffel Tower, worked as a maid to photograph strangers’ travel possessions, collaborated on a fictional character with writer Paul Auster, and been followed by a private detective at her own request. Her latest turn, at New York gallery Paula Cooper, finds Calle dealing with a lover’s breakup via email, using the traumatic experience to explore issues of intimacy vs. mass technology.
From Gordon Winiemko's 2007 piece Recommendations
Contemplating a juried show called "IOU," I sent letters to several friends, family members and colleagues, asking them for a favor – would they write a letter of recommendation on my behalf, asking the gallery to include me in the show?
