Marvel / Pelieu, Claude., 1972

 Item
Identifier: CC-28203-29370
Scope and Contents

Pelieu appropriated a hard cover comic strip book and collaged other cut-up comic strips and advertisements onto each page. The order of these collage additions into this book was probably random, an analogy to the cut-up technique popularized by Gyson and Burroughs for literature and poetry. Although unsigned and undated, the spine is collaged with the header of the London Sunday Times August 27 1972.This work was once in the possession of William Burroughs according to Richard Aaron of Am Here Books. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Measurism, 1996

 Item
Identifier: CC-27842-28975
Scope and Contents

This book "plots the logarithms of social measurement against stimulus values in decibels. It finds the sensation magnitude to be a constant that depends on interaction." Laxson uses scientific statements in a poetic mixture with social perceptions and feelings. These pages are printed in her typical arrangement of mixing different fonts and font dimensions. She also includes five pages of naive line drawings of a leader, a visionary, traffic, a friend, and a muse/guardian that contrast in style and content to the scientific, sophisticated typographic pages. Both inside covers have been collaged from edge to edge with letterpressed printed text. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
