Diary 14076 - 14484 / Malik, Axel George., 2001 - 2002

 Item
Identifier: CC-38904-40833
Scope and Contents The writing of the made-up ideograms in the book is in acrylic mainly with Rapidiograph 0.13 to 0.25 mm fine. In the last section, the writing was done with magic marker. On his website (2007) Malik comments on his work as follows. "In 1989 I started the project on daily "Writing" that I have continued ever since. The writing process consists of individual, sign-like characters that never repeat themselves. The traces of movement entail complex lines of a sphere of motion that becomes ever more differentiated.

Her words, contextually somewhat difficult for the (this) reader not previously aware of the complexities and truths of Korean history (both in Korea and America), are at once powerful and insightful...poetic, yet raw. Cha is able to use her gift to offer a glimpse into one woman's history and journey; one that ended much too soon on this planet for this talented artist."Wikipedia: Cha was raped and killed by security guard and serial rapist Joey Sanza in New York City, New York, just a week after the publication of Dictee. Sanza was convicted after three trials and...
