[Deathpenalty] death penalty news----Art and the Death Penalty

[Rick Halperin]

Hi,

I'm working for an artist in Sweden who's work is focusing on the Death Penalty 
in the USA. His work
spans from reproductions of final meal requests to manuals intended for 
executioners.

Our latest piece is a large photo book called Unclaimed Bodies. It's made in 
collaboration with
renowned photographer Håkan Ludwigsson and contains photos of grave markers 
from the Peckerwood Hill
cemetary in Huntsville, Texas.

It's one of our many looks at the prison industry in th US, from our European 
point of view. We're
not doing the book for profit, we're trying to show the absurdity of the death 
penalty with art.

In October we're premiering the book at the international book fair in 
Frankfurt. Could you please
help me getting in contact with organisations, journalists, bloggers from the 
USA who might be
interested in such a project (and maybe even attending the book fair)?

All the best!
