Burnt Book / Katz, Leandro., 1992

 Item
Identifier: CC-07953-8107
Scope and Contents Reproductions of representative pages of an artist book by Katz. Burnt Book is dedicated to the memory of the uncountable codices burned by Friar Diego de Landa, in Mani, Yucatán in June 1562, as part of a series of autos-da-fé carried out under his orders. In Account of the Affairs of Yucatán, a document written in part as a brief to defend himself before the Council of Indies, de Landa recounts: "These people [the Maya] also used certain glyphs or letters in which they wrote down their ancient history and sciences in their books; and by means of these letters and figures and by certain marks contained in them, they could read about their affairs and taught others to read about them too. We found a great number of these books in Indian characters and because they contained nothing but superstition and the Devil's falsehoods, we burned them all; and this they felt most bitterly and it caused them great grief." Burnt Book, made five hundred years after the first voyage of Columbus...

 Item
Identifier: CC-38158-40052
Scope and Contents The card is an instruction sheet for assembling the panel from pages in the book; the loose sheet is an errata sheet.In the introduction to Carnival Panel Two, McCaffery comments on Panel One. "Carnival is planned as a multi-panel language environment, constructed largely on the typewriter and designed ultimately to put the reader, as perceptual participant, within the center of his language.The roots of Carnival go beyond concretism (specifically that particular branch of concrete poetry termed the `typestract' or abstract typewriter art) to labyrinth and mandala, and all related archetypal forms that emphasize the use of the visual qualities in language to defend a sacred centre. Pond's vorticism also forms part of the grid of influences, and on one level at least, Carnival can be seen as an attempt to abstract, concretize and expand Pound's concept of the image as the circular pull of an intellectual and emotional energy.

Broadway 1602 Gallery: Rosemarie Castoro (1939-)was a central protagonist among of the New York Minimalists and one of the few highly recognized female painters in this milieu. In the early 1960s Castoro found her initial inspiration in modern dance. She collaborated with Minimal Dance pioneer Yvonne Rainer and at Pratt Institute she got intensely involved with choreography. "When I danced I leapt through the air and continued to remain up there"¦I felt a self-propelled air- stretch. It was a way to leave this earth, to bring coherence to reality, to find a path again, to deeper the grooves and push the forest of the half blind." This highly evolved early practice served Castoro to explore three-dimensional space.
