This series is comprised of ten drawings, each representing a single issue of Artforum from September 2007 to Summer 2008. Each drawing is made by writing every name that appears in the corresponding issue of the magazine. The number of names in each issue ranges from approximately 2,500 to 4,500 names. The names are transcribed, by hand, slightly larger or smaller to fit in a 10.5 square inch format, the exact size of Artforum.
