This text is an English translation of the essay by Elkin Restrepo in Suarez Londono's book, "Obra sobre Paper." Restrepo writes, "Through the character of his drawing, from the use of the petroglyph and the primitive symbolism (where the sketch, the styling, and the rhythm are the base of every representation), to the almost photographic, exquisite treatment of reality, Suarez creates a scale where only the figure is the foundation and the pinnacle. A type of representation where hierarchies and scales unite, and where forms, strokes, tones and images are intertwined...We remember the old Mallarme saying, "The universe is a book," especially as we find that, behind these diaries, notebooks, and sketch books, Suarez orders ideas of the infinite." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents This journal features "Literature of the fantastic, supernatural and decadent." Adam Daly contributes an essay "Robert WAlser: Strange Supplicant, Idiot Savant, Master of the Microgram." A portrait drawn by Guy Davenport is included. The Sackner Archive holds books that have texts of the unusual micrographic writings of Walser. Daly writes, "To the best of my knowledge Walser's celebrated 'Micrograms' have yet to be translated into English...They've only recently been annotated, amounting to nearly five hundred and thirty sheets of miscellaneous, fragmentary manuscripts, constituting a treasure-chest of rarefied scribbles that lay Walser's soul bare. And it can be said that the preternaturally obsessional drift of these writings, which were undertaken during a period of unanchored wanderings around Europe, gradually brought on the madness which eventually propelled him toward institutionalisation...he embarked in 1924 on the Micrograms, which were never released and only finally...

Scope and Contents This book is written about the author as if someone else is making the observations (a pseudo-autobiographical narrative). From the back book cover: In "Writing Machines", N. Katherine Hayles explores how literature has transformed itself from inscriptions rendered as the flat durable marks of print to the dynamic images of CRT screens, from verbal texts to the diverse sensory modalities of multimedia works, from books to technotexts. Hayles weaves together intellectualized theory and pseudo-autobiographical narrative, the cultures of science and the humanities, and through her collaboration with Anne Burdick, the mandates of writing and design. Hayles inaugurates media specific analysis in literary studies, investigating words that focus on the very inscription technologies that produce them. She analyzes three writing machines in depth: Talan Memmott's groundbreaking web hypertext "Lexia to Perplexia," Tom Phillips's artist's book "A Humument," and Mark Z. Danielewski's...

Scope and Contents This book is the first sustained consideration of the manifold infiltrations of the written word into the visual arts from the nineteenth century to the present day.Publisher: "From the cut-up Cubist collages of Picasso to the monumental filmic narratives of Fiona Banner, and from the schoolboy subversion of Magritte to the demotic scrawl of Cy Twombly, the use of words is one of the defining features of modern art. Indeed, with many contemporary works, only those without text are remarkable. Exploring the strange, unsettling, and often humorous results when words escape their traditional confines and inhabit artworks, this book is the first sustained consideration of the manifold infiltrations of the written word into the visual arts from the nineteenth century to the present day. Simon Morley traces the growing bond between word and image, explaining how artists have harnessed the resulting tension to form identities, challenge authority, and make sense of a world in constant...

In Writing Surfaces, derek beaulieu and Lori Emerson present a collection of John Riddell's work. Riddell's poems and short stories are a remarkable mix of largely typewriter-based concrete poetry mixed with fiction and drawings. Riddell's oeuvre fell out of popular attention, but it has recently garnered interest among poets and critics engaged with media studies (especially studies of the typewriter) and experimental writing. This book is an anthology of Riddell's published and unpublished works. It should be noted that the typewriter poem entitled 'Morax' totally differs from the piece with the same title published in Kontakte Series 1 No.1, a periodical held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
