NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — One year ago, multidisciplinary artist Landry Butler released “I Have Nothing to Say, and I Am Saying It”, a hardcover book that is both blank journal and conceptual artwork. Inspired by the work of John Cage, Mark Rothko, Yoko Ono, and the existential writings of Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre, the project challenged readers to sit with silence, to turn the book’s empty pages into mirrors for thought, and to engage with what cannot be said.
A year later, Butler invites audiences to revisit that silence. “The past year has been filled with a lot of noise: reasons for anger and fear … social, political, emotional, physical …” he says. “This book remains an anchor point, a quiet space that reminds us to take a deep breath, step back and consider the things that actually matter to us.”
Since its release, “I Have Nothing to Say, and I Am Saying It” has appeared in independent bookstores and galleries, inspired conversations about minimalism and meaning, and become a tool for journaling, sketching, and meditative practice.
To mark the anniversary, Butler is scheduling additional signings, talks, and community discussions at independent venues and art spaces, continuing his commitment to connecting with small, locally owned businesses that serve as the cultural foundations of their neighborhoods.
Butler’s next talk will be at The Amsterdamian in Nashville, Tenn at noon on Oct. 5.
“I Have Nothing to Say, and I Am Saying It” is available for purchase at Amazon.com.
