“The Gothic fate of poor slain Poetry is the specter at this dwindling feast.” – Bruce Sterling. Pay your respects to the book with artists Mark Laliberte, Craig Leonard, Danny Snelson and the intonations of Spamradio as we seal it in the tomb of the Type Books basement gallery. As books shed their confines of form and structure, their remains are melted and encased in chemical caskets, squeezed into the metal sheaths of hard drives and otherwise left to decay. The show will run for the duration of the festival and provides a backdrop for the Scream’s Type Salon Series of events.
