“Tucker Nichols is the artist behind anonymouspostcard.org. The site allows users to submit anonymous complaints which Nichols turns into works of postal art and ships to the offender as part of his art project/public service. Rod Blagojevich received a reprimand on his hairdo and Jonathan Ive got lambasted for the inexplicably short MacBook power cord which is "no longer than an umbilical cord." Tonight Nichols comes up with some more semiotic manipulation in the text-themed group show This is the Book I Have Written For You at Park Life Gallery.”

Park Life Gallery says:
This exhibition will showcase work by emerging and established artists who deal with semiotics and whose use of type and language is a reoccurring part of their artistic vernacular. The work in this exhibition will both conceptually driven, purely abstract, or may use type expressionistically. The artists were selected for their ability in uniting blunt technology with a straightforward and user friendly interface. In this way the show aspires to exhibit work that is very accessible, despite its potential to be either easily digestible or cryptic. The ultimate goal is to bring together a set of contemporary artists, designers, illustrators, and writers and examine how their various approaches contribute to the current state of language art.
