SILESIAN MUSEUM "289 148"

Katowice, Poland
July, 2017

Curated by Sebastian Cichocki for the Silesian Museum in Poland, 289 148 comprises announcements in B2 format distributed throughout the urban landscape. Long’s piece, Codex, riffs on the Adams Cable Codex, a telegraphic code published in 1894 at the tail end of the Gilded Age in the US. The Codex allowed wealthy, globetrotting families and corporate buccaneers to communicate coded transactions over the cable lines and shield their financial interests while travelling overseas.
