Dear Laurie, Dear Gülşah
Dear Laurie, Dear Gülşah is an artists’ book that brings together the correspondence between A. Laurie Palmer and Gülşah Mursaloğlu across disparate geographies (California and Istanbul), from April to September 2020. Within this transformative year that bore witness to a global pandemic, anti-racist protests, downfalls of power figures and monuments and fires around both continents, the letters both reflect on the present moment and offer insight into the artists’ practices and long- term projects.
Coptic bound, soft-cover artist book, with wrap-around cover that unfolds to become a poster.
