Chitalogiia Zaumi (Readology of Zaum) / Segay, Serge ; Kruchenykh A., 1972

 Item
Identifier: CC-27634-28715
Scope and Contents

The book is bound as two sequential sections with cloth wallpaper with a floral pattern covering the cardboard of the front and back covers. The spine is a continuation of the soft cloth that overlays the covers with the two sections of the book comprising heavy stock paper sewn separately into the cloth spine. The book appears to be an homage to A. Kruchynchk, the founder of Zaum, with a stylized visual/verbal portrait of the poet on the first page. Almost all pages have been designed as collaged, varied shaped, fragments of paper, cloth and other materials that must be lifted up by the reader to reveal the Russian writings by Segay beneath them. This format is a fairly unique design among the artist books in the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
