Scriptura: Graffiti. No.99 / Hans Adolf Halbey, editor., 1998

 Item
Identifier: CC-31276-32747
Scope and Contents

The images for each month of the year 1999 are colored photographs of graffeti on walls. Halby writes in his essay that the birth of graffiti can be traced to the fifties in New York when young Puerto Rican immigrants protested and drew attention to their desolate condition by spray painting the windows on subway cars. They worked with hectic speed and used bizarre interlocking angular or round letters and signs that came from the world of comics. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Selected Discourses Regarding War and Peace / Ellis, Elsi Vassdal., 1993

 Item
Identifier: CC-14368-14677
Scope and Contents

This consists of reproduced political quotes from books, periodicals and newspapers on war and peace with innovative layouts. It is accompanied by loose page spreads used for exhibition. Linoleum cuts, zinc cuts, letterpress with lead and wood type. Non-adhesive binding using a German Medieval chain stitch. "In 1984 I began collecting material for a book examining how often and why we (as humans) have gone to war. Rather than write or commission the text, I selected quotations and worked them together typographically using the wood and lead fonts available in my studio. The book was also a means to improve my letterpress printing technique. The book is essentially a collection of broadsides with the emphasis on two-page spreads. The German Medieval binding technique was selected because it did not take any space away from the two-page spreads.". -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
