Copy 2. Pamphlet book printed on white paper, with stapled binding; created by the artist to simulate or parody a schoolchild's penmanship exercise book. Instead of typical vocabulary, the artist has chosen politically topical language (ca. 2008), including such phrases as "9/11, Axis of Evil", "Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan", Weapons of Mass Destruction", "Gitmo, Abu Garab", "Save Darfur, Free Tibet" et.al. "The printing of this project was made possible thanks to a grant from NoMAA, Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance, and the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone."--Recto of front cover. Verso of last page contains Roni Mocan's contact information and exhibition history.
