A new limited edition pamphlet of asemic poems commissioned and released by Asatami Legesse, an independent micro-publisher established by Italian visual poet and dada performer Dario Roberto Dioli and Zewditu Anteneh Retta. They have done some brilliant work in European asemia recently, with James Knight, Sylee Gore and others.
It’s a handmade minimalist work. It’s snapshots of a massive asemic piece, a kind of constellation work, made on a large wood board in my studio. The individual works in this publication are therefore meant to be impossible jigsaw puzzle pieces, they connect and are separate but seem almost the same. Repetition, and that which is lost in the whole, in the margin, is the idea. And the density of line too, the spirographical.
The publication will be launched August 15th at Torriano Meeting House at 2.30pm https://www.theenemiesproject.com/bob and is made in an edition, in the UK, of 30 copies.
