Identifier: CC-20374-20771
Scope and Contents

Includes an essay about the exhibition of Romanian artist books by Andrei Plesu, "Image, Writing, Breathing," in which he concludes: "And the microcosmic spirit of wind is the breath (k'i).

And in a sense, the exhibition we ponder over is a discourse about breathing, about the meaningful rhythms of spontaneity." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
