[untitled under the auspices} by sturnus vulgaris / White, Derek., 2012

Item

Identifier: CC-54789-990218

Scope and Contents sturnus vulgaris is the scientific name for the English Starling bird.Internet: This is a book of auguring, or divination codex, where birds are the words, in particular the common starling (with a few cameos by seagulls & crows). The sequenced set of flight patterns, or murmurations, were captured over the course of the past few years in the skies over Rome, where the starlings winter in the months of October & November. In the ancient Greek, Egyptian & Roman empires, the will of the gods was determined by "taking the auspices,' or interpreting the flight patterns of birds. In fact, Romulus & Remus, the infamous twin brothers raised by a she-wolf, were both augurs. To settle a dispute about where the city of Rome should be founded (Romulus preferred the Palatine hill & Remus preferred the Aventine), they both took auspices & Romulus "won,' hence Rome is named for him. The murmurating cross-sections in this book were captured mostly from the loser's Aventine...

Variations on Typestract / Cobbing, Bob., 1966

Item

Identifier: CC-45802-48012

Scope and Contents

Cobbing called the photocopied print process, "monoduplicator prints." This work and others by Cobbing was exhibited in the Destruction In Art Symposium organized by Gustav Metzger and held in Prince Albert Hall in London in 1966. The event was a precursor to the art movement of Situationism. This work was composed by crumpling overtyped printed texts and printing them in black and white on a monoduplicator device as a single copy. These prints were then collaged onto a raised block of masonite then fixed as a grid onto a painted black panel. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
