Mriver & T.Whid Art Associates proudly present:
The Direct to Your Home Art Projects!
Johnny Appleseed is one of the heroes of M. River and T.Whid Art Associates. We like to think we are spreading contemporary art across the world as he spread his apple seed across the United States; disseminating as much as possible with the hope that some sweet and succulent fruit may be enjoyed.
But we are sometimes troubled by the image of Johnny in our minds as a haggard, somewhat insane vagabond who may be spreading a not so innocent seed along with his agricultural project. A perverse compulsion to propagate a species of tree seems a strange way to order ones life.
But, then again, you can eat the fruit and drink the juice.
Direct to Your Home Art Project #10 (Sept. 1998)
Follow these simple steps to collect contemporary art:
- Trace or draw an apple on your wall in red crayon.
- Draw an arrow from the bottom of the apple image vertically straight down to the floor. The tip of the arrow head should be tangent to the floor.
- Write or print next to the apple: ' Johnny has fallen face down.'
- Capture an image as documentation.

*editioning policy*
The Art Projects are posted on the first of every month. All documentation we receive during that month constitutes the edition. ie: if we received 3 submissions for Project #2 December 1998, the edition is three. Your official Certificate of Authenticity will then be numbered: 1/3, 2/3 etc. If you submit documentation after the month is over your Certificate is designated as an Artist's Proof (AP).
