In 1582 Pope Gregorio XIII created the Inter Gravissimas bull, which reformed the calendar abolishing ten days from it – October 5th to 14th – in order to realign the spring equinox. Ten days were taken out of time, unlived and unused. With the help of a notary Chiara Camoni took possession of these 10 days and offers to bestow them on collectors who may wish to save the days and use them as needed: to replace a bad day, to live a good day again. Documents recording the transfer of the 10 days are included in the packet. This multiple was produced in 2009. Chiara Camoni currently represents Italy at the 61st International Art Exhibition Venice Biennale.
