by Paul Thek

"Processions (: The Tower of Babel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Bandwagon, The Burning Bridge, Bo Jangles, Jack Lantern, Paul Thek, Zhivago)" was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Paul Thek -Processions" at the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 30 October to 4 December 1977. This handsome, heavily illustrated catalogue is a very important title in the history of Thek's work as it was the only published document dedicated to his immersive, site-specific installations. Selected and arranged by Thek with curator Suzanne Delehanty, these pages help capture the most conceptually complicated and complete environments created by Thek to that date, including The Tomb-Death of a Hippie (1967), A Procession in Honor of Aesthetic Progress. (1968), The Procession/The Artist's Co-op (1969), Pyramid/A Work in Progress (1971-72), A Station of the Cross (1972), Ark, Pyramid (1972), Ark, Pyramid, Easter (1973), and more, along with his Technological Reliquaries (1965-1967), Fishman (1968), works on paper and bronze sculpture (1973-1977), list of exhibitions, bibliography, text by Suzanne Delehanty and more.
