The Last Book is a project, organised by Luis Camnitzer, to compile written as well as visual statements in which the authors may leave a legacy for future generations. The premise of the project is that book-based culture is coming to an end. On one hand, new technologies have introduced cultural mutations by transferring information to television and the Internet. On the other, there has been an increasing deterioration in the educational systems (as much in the First World as on the periphery) and a proliferation of religious and anti-intellectual fundamentalisms. The Last Book will serve as a time-capsule and leave a document and testament of our time, as well as a stimulus for a possible reactivation of culture in case of disappearance by negligence, catastrophe or conflagration.

Opening: 31 October 2008. Show runs until March 2009.
The Last Book will be available at Zentral Bibliothek in Zurich, Switzerland, from March 10 until July 31, 2010.
