The exhibition was curated by Matthew Abess who was the scholar in residence at the Sackner Archive during the summer of 2006 between his sophomore and junior years at the University of Pennsylvania. He also wrote the catalogue essay and organized a symposium at the Kelly Writers House with Maggie O'Sullivan and cris cheek, compatriates of Bob Cobbing, participating in the event along with Charles Bernstein and Marvin Sackner. All the Cobbing material for the exhibition came from the Sackner Archive. The three copies in the Sackner Archive will be considered varient copies as the final few pages were poorly printed. Marvin Sackner advised the attendees to hold on to these copies as special before a more perfect version is reprinted. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
