Scope and Contents

This catalogue was published for the exhibition of works of Bob Cobbing selected from the Sackner Archive.

In addition to writing an in-depth catalogue essay, Matthew Abess organized recorded sound poetry readings on multiple head phones in the gallery, and planned a seminar with cris cheek and Maggie O'Sullivan at the Writers House. Since the printing was faded in various parts of sentences on the last pages, Marvin Sackner pointed out that this should be considered a varient and was reminiscent of Cobbing's photoduplicator books. The catalogue was subsequently reprinted appropriately. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
