The Big Ship is the home of innovative and provocative art writing that challenges the traditional canon. The Big Ship’s first book, Little Prayers Vol. 1, collects once-deleted entries from the first year of its self-destructing online, gallery Little Prayers. The vital alchemy of a Little Prayer - short in length and lifespan - permits writing at its most personal and experimental. At any turn in this volume you will find artists classic and contemporary, painters, sculptors, film-makers, musicians, celebrities, outsiders, the unheard, and on any page find writing esoteric, confessional, utopian, formal, hungry, analytic, enraged, illuminated, lost, and found.
