Scope and Contents
Exhibition files provide a comprehensive survey of Ramírez Jonas's participation in group and solo exhibitions over more than two decades. Files may include correspondence, notes and sketches by Ramírez Jonas, printed matter, and photographic and digital material. Christopher Grimes Gallery correspondence documents Ramírez Jonas's professional relationship with Grimes as well as exhibitions at the gallery from the 1990s. Email correspondence with Jay Jopling documents Ramírez Jonas's relationship with Jopling and coverage of his first London exhibition, Heavier Than Air (1994), at White Cube. Material relating to the Africus Biennale (1995) and correspondence with Postmasters in 1995, includes letters from Ramírez Jonas recording his impressions of South Africa and his interactions with artists there, correspondence with Kendell Geers, and photos of himself and Geers. Also well documented are Ramírez Jonas's Heavier Than Air exhibitions at Cornerhouse and Ikon Gallery, including his notes, sketches, and installation photographs, and email exchanges regarding text for the catalog for the Ikon Gallery exhibition. Open, the Taylor Square Project exhibition relating to Ramírez Jonas's public art project for Cambridge's smallest public park, is also well documented. The project, which involved distributing thousands of artist-designed keys and an invitation to the public to duplicate them endlessly, is documented in notes, sketches, plans, product information, and photographs. Records document Ramírez Jonas's research methodology for, and execution of, the Taylor Square project.
