Heads & H&Z, 1985

 Item — Box 281: [Barcode: 31858072460649]
Identifier: CC-19604-19990
Scope and Contents

This anthology Includes reprints of a selection of curry's publishing activities focusing on his rubberstampings of minimalistic and concrete poems of his own and his circle of poets. Dean comments: this making precious of the single poem was the result of necessity as much as esthetic deliberation; curry published within a finite small budget. This could have caused poor-quality production, i.e. Gestetner, offset or xerox. Instead it resulted in hand-stamp, hand-set rubber type, as his chosen (& unique) means of publication. His scaled down book remained both anarchic and typographically refined. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

One of the Most Important Even If Unfortunate Things about Breathing Is That It Allows Us to Speak / jw curry., 1991

 Item
Identifier: CC-18909-19287
Scope and Contents

Commissioned for "The Beauty In Breathing Exhibition." A human silhouette painted on a panel silently points out a chest x-ray to another figure to emphasize the physiologic importance of breathing. Behind the door, a telephone is placed adjacent to a network of printed and handwritten, torn and fragmented texts appearing as a gigantic speech bubble (reminescent of a cartoon) to suggest babble, dependent on breathing, eminating from many telephone communications. The contrast is a metaphor for the title of this work. Five of the images show the current istallation as doors leading to one of the Sackners bathrooms, the sixth shows the original free standing installation. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
