These works take various forms: scripts, short stories, scribbled notes, large scale installation, and painting\u2014many never before released. Assembled here for the first time, My Kingdom for a Title allows the breadth of the artist\u2019s engagement with language to be fully assessed. Within the book, Pope.L\u2019s work is supplemented with extensive endnotes sourced by artist Kandis Williams.<\/p>\n<p>Pope.L is a visual artist and edu\u00adcator whose multidisciplinary practice uses binaries, contraries, and preconceived notions embedded within contemporary culture to create artworks in various formats including writing, painting, performance, installation, video, and sculpture. Building upon his long history of enacting arduous, provocative, absurdist performances and interventions in public spaces, Pope.L applies some of the same social, formal, and performative strategies to his interests in language, system, gender, race, and community. The goals for his work are several: joy, money, and uncertainty\u2014not necessarily in that order.<\/p>\n<p>Edited by Courtney Willis Blair<br \/>\nEndnotes by Kandis Williams<br \/>\nPublished by <a href=\"https:\/\/new-documents.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">New Documents<\/a> in collaboration with Mitchell-Innes &amp; Nash<br \/>\nFirst Edition (2021)<\/p>\n<p>Order the book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/shop\/pope-l-my-kingdom-for-a-title-courtney-willis-blair-new-documents-mitchell-innes-nash-9781953441058.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear friends, We are pleased to invite you to the book launch of Pope.L, My Kingdom for a Title\u00a0in presence of the artist. 7\u20139 pm Wednesday 3\u00a0November 2021 Motto Berlin Skalitzer Str. 68, im Hinterhof 10997 Berlin U1 Schlesisches Tor &nbsp; My Kingdom for a Title is a collection of writing by Chicago\u2013based artist Pope.L [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,84,162],"tags":[6442,6288,6443,60,6186,2853,6185],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49576"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49576"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49576\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49603,"href":"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49576\/revisions\/49603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
