About this project

This has been participatory piece from the start. The ‘characters’ in the Cleavage photo series are friends, family, and brand new friends who were willing to model their cleavage in ‘ready-made’ backdrops of their own home or workplace in exchange for a signed photo of the outcome. I have compiled these images into a sculptural book form as a handmade accordion style book, and now I am working with a book printer for making 500 copies . It is a complicated book to produce, but K.Y. Chow, Founder and President of GM Printing, is excited to take on the project, and wants to submit it for awards once made. The printing costs more than the pledge goal posted here, but if I make $8500. , that would be grand....I am offering this book to people who pledge now as a signed artist book for $50. This will not be as cheap later, so sign up.Take care of your holiday shopping early! Books will be done in the beginning of November if not sooner. Images of the prints offered are in the video clip.

p.s. If there is some amount of books or prints that you want but is not listed as a choice, contact me, we can work it out.
thanks!

Bethany Fancher

Straightpin New York, NY

Artist Bethany Fancher has been working on a barter project, Cleavage, for the past couple of years. Friends and family who have wanted a piece of artwork but perhaps can’t pay so much with money have been offered an exchange of modeling for one free signed artist proof print of their own cleavage. Men and women have participated equally. If you haven’t figured it out, these are all butts, all of them. Thanks to all who participated! Cleavage for world peace!

Bethany Fancher currently lives and works in NYC. Her work includes video, performance, sculpture, photography and painting.
