Paper Re Making Book No.089 (Kafka: The Metamorphosis) / Kocman, J.H.., 1981

 Item
Identifier: CC-07917-10002497
Scope and Contents

Kocman requested the Sackners to send him five paperback copies of Kafka's novel "The Metamorphosis" and that he would return a surprise to them. The novel describes the tribulations of Gregor Samsa who as he "awoke one morning from uneasy dreams found himself transformed into a gigantic insect..." Kocman took the books that the Sackners had sent him, pulped the pages and formed handmade paper pages bound them into a book literally metamorphosizing "The Metamorphosis." This work was exhibited at the Agnes Scott College Gallery, Atlanta, January 2001. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Para'de / Cole, David ; Rosenberg, Marilyn R.., 1989

 Item
Identifier: CC-16429-16779
Scope and Contents

Cole comments: "A collaborative visual poem... in the series of color Kodak prints (slightly reduced) of the original/master. Para'de was exchanged through the mail numerous times between the two artists and was the culmination of a linguistic discussion of the root 'para.' Para'de is completely collaborative in-so-far as it was treated as a single canvas and was painted in visual (non-literary) order. The piece grew in layers and rhythms." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
