The text was the centerpiece of Levine’s 2018 solo exhibition of the same title at the Brooklyn Museum, co-commissioned with Onassis USA, which was cited by the New York Times as one of the 10 best shows of 2018. The exhibition included a series of new photographic prints, as well as a curated selection of objects from the Museum’s collection. Its centerpiece was a new monologue, written by Levine and delivered by a rotating cast of actors, on the theory and practice of the fake crowd and the possibility of becoming a “real person.” The project, which earned Levine a 2018 Guggenheim Fellowship, was also featured in Art in America and Cultured, and the monologue text was published in n+1. This broadside edition, modeled after INSTEAD, a radical New York-based publication from the late 1940s, presents the definitive text for Levine’s monologue, alongside a select number of images from the exhibition.
