David Greg Harth “Harth” is a New York City based artist working in various media. Many of his projects are time related. One of his current projects is The Holy Bible Project — an important 60-year-long art work which begun April 25, 1997 which explores the intersection of art, religion and celebrity culture. The art work will be complete on April 25, 2057.

The project consists of three volumes. Volume 1 began the project from 1997-2017. Harth continued the project in 2017 with Volume 2. Volume 3 will begin in 2037. During each 20-year period, Harth has one Bible that he asks people to sign, and if there is a certain passage they would like to sign, they sign it there, or sign it wherever they would like. [note: Harth is not a religious person]

Harth is not asking for an “autograph.” He is asking for people to participate in the art work. Harth asks such people as musicians, artists, actors, writers, politicians, activists, intellectuals, poets, athletes, pioneers, entrepreneurs, scholars, designers, directors, filmmakers, icons, etc. As of today, there are 2,174 participants in The Holy Bible Project.

After six decades of the project, Harth will have three Volumes – three Bibles. Each encapsulating a short period of time in human history. In the future he plans to have it on exhibition at an art gallery/art museum.
