THE ARCHIVES
No Single Place Can Hold The Entire Story
No website can contain everything.
No documentary can tell the whole story.
No visit can reveal every room, object, memory, or discovery that exists within The Great Kinyon.
The Archives were created because some stories require more space.
For the first time, hundreds of photographs, documents, artifacts, and discoveries are being gathered into a permanent record.
Not as a catalog.
Not as an inventory.
As evidence.
Evidence of a life spent learning, making, questioning, and creating.
The Collector Archive
Five Copies Available
Five archives.
Five participants.
Five different paths through the same world.
The Collector Archive represents the deepest level of participation currently available within The Great Kinyon.
Each volume contains approximately 200 pages and more than 350 images documenting the collections, the house, and discoveries that continue to emerge from the project.
Every copy is hand-numbered and signed.
Each includes a unique artifact personally selected from materials connected to Dell's life and work.
Photographs.
Slides.
Sketches.
Studies.
Notes.
Objects that carry their own stories.
No two Collector Archives are identical.
While all five share a common foundation, each becomes its own experience.
Different artifacts.
Different discoveries.
Different points of connection.
Whenever possible, recipients are invited to receive their archive through a private visit to the house itself.
For those unable to travel, arrangements can be made for secure delivery.
Edition: 5 Copies
Participation: $8,750
The Archive Edition
One Hundred Copies
The Archive Edition was created to make portions of The Great Kinyon accessible to a wider audience.
Each volume contains approximately 100 pages and more than 125 images drawn from the collections, the house, and the continuing documentation process.
Every copy is hand-numbered.
Produced in a limited edition of one hundred copies, the Archive Edition serves as both introduction and record.
For some, it will be a first encounter.
For others, a lasting connection.
For all, it offers access to a world that few people have experienced firsthand.
Edition: 100 Copies
Participation: $475
Access
The Archives were never intended to contain a life.
No book could.
Instead, they offer something else.
Access.
Access to discoveries.
Access to stories.
Access to photographs, objects, and records that exist nowhere else.
A chance to spend more time with the work.
To follow discoveries further than a website, a documentary, or a single visit can allow.
The Great Kinyon continues to reveal itself.
The Archives exist for those who wish to look closer.
