Please Destroy This is an ongoing collaborative project between visual artists Jacob Juhl & John Reuss. The two artists are sending each other pieces of art by mail with an invitation to destroy, deconstruct, add, expand or reduce the artpieces. Then they’re returned for yet another cycle. This process continues until either one decides that a piece is done. All materials and techniques are allowed. The only limitation is that of format (all works are app. 30x42 cm). All progress is published on this blog as well as on the dedicated project site www.pleasedestroythis.netTumblr (3.0; @pleasedestroythis)https://pleasedestroythis.tumblr.com/<a href="http://magasinetkunst.dk/Blog/Detail/NzEzMQ%3d%3d">Magasinet Kunst</a>: <p>Danish art mag “Magasinet Kunst” did a nice write-up on the running Please Destroy This exhibition at Galleri V58, Aarhus DK (runs until May 9)</p>https://pleasedestroythis.tumblr.com/post/118278988636https://pleasedestroythis.tumblr.com/post/118278988636Wed, 06 May 2015 14:54:26 +0200john reussjacob juhlplease destroy thisartists on tumblrwrite-upaticleart magcontemporary artkunstdanmarksamtidskunstmagasinet kunstjreuss<br/><br/><p><b>PDT Exhibition Catalogue</b> <br/>First exhibition catalogue for the Please Destroy This exhibition (in Danish).
