The preface was written by Billy Chidish. David Breckon contributed a book entitled, "Transients" in which he provided photographs and captions for occupants of different rooms in a hotel at the same point in time. In this respect, he has utilized (knowingly or unknowingly) the format of George Perec's book, Life, A User's Manual. However, Perec employed solely verbal descriptions of the occupants and their dwelling spaces of a Parisian apartment house. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
Words and Pictures, No. 8, 1996
Simon Ford writes a description of John Latham's "Still and Chew" event in 1966 that produced the first British work of Conceptual Art. The aim was to extract and capture the 'essence' of Clement Greenberg's influential collection of essays entitled "Art and Culture" and at the same time demonstrate Latham's theories concerning art, event, and time. Students of Latham at St. Martins Art School chewed pages from the book which was borrowed from the library, spat them out into a container that held sulfuric acid. This was allowed to ferment into alcohol, distilled and the distillate placed into a vial. The vial was returned to the library that declined to accept it. Latham was fired from his teaching position. The vial was packaged along with documentation into a brief case and subsequently was acquired by MOMA. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
