Review – Resurrect Dead

Starting sometime in the 1980s, someone began leaving messages carved in linoleum and stuck permanently into city streets. Known as the Toynbee Tiles, these small bits of outsider art convey simple messages about how dead people will be resurrected on Jupiter. The tiles themselves might have made a fascinating 15 minutes or so, but to stretch to feature length this becomes a documentary about Justin Duerr, an artist in search of the tiles’ origin. Though the search leads to some interesting places, it also does a lot of floundering along the way. Mildly amusing
