Thursday at INTUIT: Paper&Carriage No. 3 Release-
It's true, it was only a few weeks ago that we released the
Paper&Carriage No. 2, but for No. 3 we've been co-ordinating our
efforts with The American Folk Art Museum in New York, and in
conjunction with their current exhibit "Dargerism: Contemporary
Artists and Henry Darger," we're publishing a slew of fanciness,
including images from their exhibit in the artist centerfold,
("Dargerism: Contemporary Artists and Henry Darger" is up at the AFAM
until September 21st), 3 original passages by Henry Darger (what have
only been published in short excerpts thus far), an incredible essay
about Moby Dick and the hero's journey by Dan Beachy-Quick, Rolf
Achilles on Asylums and feeble hearted children, Zate Zambreno on
journals, Richard Stern, and Juliana Dreiver, with images by Daniel
Johnston, artist multiples by Sherri Lynn Wood and Carmen Price. Dan
S. Wang will letterpress 3 different covers, featuring a list of
objects in Darger's room--courtesy of Intuit. And a well-tempered
letter from Jesse Ball.
This issue is printed in a limited edition of 250. And let me tell you
- It's HOT.
The release party will be held at Intuit, 756 N. Milwaukee Avenue, on
May 29th. From 5:00-7:30.
It's the last show of the season and what better way to celebrate the
dowdy onset of summer than with a soft sculpture installation by Our
Heroin Amanda Browder? "CYCLONE" devles into subconscious spaces,
exposing interior landscapes that motivate on the one hand, while on
the other remain dreamy and untenable. In this installation, that
fluid under-the-iceberg space is brought forth, into the light,
functioning as a funnel into alternate states of consciousness.
Constructed with plush fabrics, bright colors and stuffing--this piece
explodes and spins into the world, externalizing those interior
pastures with a violent and playful confidence. With careful attention
to materials and found objects, Browder presents one possible map,
that, in her vocabulary of form, "points towards collective aspects of
the human subconscious."

All writers must be prepared to appear live, like the rockstars they are, if and when duty calls (i.e. in June and July).
Fragments by David Carl
An extended meditation on the sentence–an inquiry into how we make use
of language to express our selves, and an investigation of how
language helps shape and determine who and what those selves are.
An imaginary conversation between Falstaff and Chuang Tzu, Veronica
Lake and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
A love story told through grammatical miscalculations, syntactical
anomalies, and the fortuitous discoveries of vocabulary:
Intelligence is manifest in the ability to get what one wants, wisdom
in the ability to properly determine what that is.
For months he lived on Altoids, coffee, vitamin C, and the hope that
she would call.
There is no present like the one you imagined in the past.
Skepticism as a kind of tourism.
An economy all their own in which his vocabulary is not even legal tender.
FRAGMENTS is printed in a limited edition of 500, with interior
artwork supplied by Mathias Kristersson, an introduction by Joseph
Fuller and original silk screen covers by Alana Bailey. This book is
available for $20.
