This artist's book was self-published in the 80's by The Play. The Play is a fluctuating art collective gathering individuals with various personalities and skills, formed in 1967 in the Japanese Kansai region. Still active today the group has constantly devised its own methods for collective actions and the ways for transmitting them, its members coming together to create the possibility of an event without any concern for its result. Refusing to distinguish art from life, The Play underlines an attitude and an outlook focused on playing, sincerity and humor, notions that remain crucial today. This publication combines in one volume the reprint of two out-of-print books entitled PLAY, self-published in 1981 and 1991, with an addition of previously unreleased documentation of actions made by the group from 1991 to 2014. This new play or holiday book gathers photographs, documents (maps, drawings, charts, posters, press clippings, etc.) and short statements on each action made by the group from 1967 to 2014.
