Published in 2008 by Art in General, New York

The book is about International Airport Montello (IAM), an art project by the artist collective known as eteam and citizens of Montello, Nevada. The project, which began circa 2005, included the purchase of various hectares of land through eBay.com, and the construction of an airport around a nearby abandoned airstrip neighboring the town of Montello, Nevada. Citizens of Montello collaborated with eteam for years in the making of this airport, commissioned by Art in General.

The book includes an introductory text by curator Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy; an essay about this unconventional art project by Cecilia Alemani; a travelogue by an audience member turned participant of the project, Jason Dean, who worked at the IAM as a Layover Support Crewmember; and excerpts from IAM’s wiki-website collectively made by the artists and citizens of Montello. The book also includes two visual essays, one of the airport itself, and another about a popular layover (i.e. an art happening) at IAM, both narrated by eteam. The book has a forward by Anne J. Barlow, executive director of Art in General, who introduces Art in General and the New Commissions Program. This book is one in a series published as part of such program; the series and first ten volumes were conceptualized and edited by Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy, with assistance of Miguel Amado. It is designed by Project Projects.
