Scope and Contents
This is a photocopy of an art work based on a letter Marvin Sackner sent to Nikanova with a copy of "The Beauty in Breathing" catalog. In the original drawing contained in the Sackner Archive, the artist retyped fragments of the text of the letter and integrated them with colored rectangles of various dimensions. The same letters in different words are connected with freely drawn colored, lines ending in arrows. Nikonova calls this work, "architectural treatment," perhaps relating to the notion of Kamensky's ferro-concrete poetry. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
