Old Oraibi, Third Hope Mesa / Depew, Wally., 1987

 Item
Identifier: CC-53107-74254
Scope and Contents

Wikipedia: Oraibi, also referred to as Old Oraibi, is a Hopi village in Navajo County, Arizona, United States, in the northeastern part of the state. Known as Orayvi by the native inhabitants, it is located on Third Mesa on the Hopi Reservation near Kykotsmovi Village. There are no accurate census counts or estimates for the village population. While visitors to the pueblo are welcomed, the residents tend to be very private and do not allow photographs to be taken in the town, and thus there are no reliable photographs of the settlement as it exists in the modern day. Hence, the sign on this card indicating that the village is closed to white visitors. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-60264-10003264
Scope and Contents MonoBooks: Synopsis: This artist s book emerged from a joint project between the writer/musician Richard Hell and the painter Christopher Wool and focuses on their mutual interest in experiences associated with reading. The authors create images using a selection of word pairings that are both conceptually estranged yet subliminally connected. The result is by turns a reading and a non-reading book which balances precariously between the worlds of rational ordered sense and the realm of polymorphous chaotic association.About the Author: Richard Hell is a musician and writer residing in New York. He was a seminal figure during the emergence of punk in the 1970s, leading up to the release of the influential album Blank Generation (1977) by Richard Hell and the Voidoids. He retired from music in 1984 to devote himself to writing. He is the author of two novels, Go Now, and Godlike, as well as a number of other books. Christopher Wool is an artist living and working in New York City...
