About the Item

Of Mice & Men Bar Code Series A definite "conversation" piece of art. Comes with a magnifying glass. *detail images may be from another barcode. All font sizing is similar. Each piece in the series features the Dewey Decimal number of the respective novella, which has been integrated into the US Library of Congress Classification System to create a barcode. The ENTIRE text from said novella is then inserted within. The black and white lines are meant to create a bold and minimalist aesthetic, inviting viewers to appreciate the intersection of text and imagery. This unique fusion not only serves as a striking visual element but also pays homage to the library classification system that connects these stories to their literary roots. The series contains (so far): Of Mice & Men by John Steinbeck Death in Venice by Thomas Mann Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Animal Farm by George Orwell *not on site These come unframed Shipped Flat *48"x24" ships rolled 80lb Archival Paper Shipping rates vary Pricing: *edition of 25 hand-worked, signed & stamped Print #1-#9 pricing: 48x24 $550 36x18 $400 24x12 $250 *20x10 $150 *limited edition prints Signed & Stamped. . 100 in edition. About the artist: Karyn Mannix, born in New York, has been involved in most aspects of the art business. First as a fashion and costume designer, studying at Fashion Institute of Technology. By the age of 21, her clothing line had been seen in feature films, Vogue Magazine, cover of WWD, Cyndi Lauper’s HBO Tour, Michael Mann’s “Crime Stories” TV Series, Patricia Field, and was displayed alongside Donna Karan at Bloomingdales, NYC. She freelanced various jobs as a fashion illustrator for WWD and French Connection; window installation for Bergdorf Goodman, Diane Von Furstenberg & Barneys NY; plus, set and prop design for numerous theater troupes. Moving to East Hampton (NY), she earned a second degree in Post Modern Art Theory and Criticism which led to stints as curator, critic, columnist, gallerist, educator, and eventually opening her own art school. Previously owning four brick and mortar galleries, Karyn has simplified and settled into a career as a private art dealer, representing artists from around the globe. Through all of this, Karyn has never stopped creating her own art and has added playing the electric bass to her repertoire, has published If You’re An Artist; 101 Tips book, and is currently writing a novel about the art world. Artist Statement Art as the written word is the direct form of what lies between reflection and expression. Using text allows me to create works that are interactive and as thought-provoking as possible. My work is an examination of the different sides of my personality and the thinking that lies behind it. In this series, I am using books since they are familiar objects that will pull viewers in for closer observation. Adding my thoughts in text is a way of questioning the attitudes, inner dialog, and unwritten rules which we have found ourselves with our current situation and environment, and our behavior within it. My comments on the books are done with a snarky sense of humor and an added dose of reality. They are meant to create a dialog between the viewer and the art.
