The Assemblagist

Over 200 books folded and fab­u­lous. Found a copy of Joe McGin­niss “The Sell­ing of the Pres­i­dent” in paper­back — on my shelf from a U of A class in 1973, required read­ing and it MUST BE USED, will begin flux­ing the book today. *This post writ­ten just after Sarah Palin went apeshit over McGin­niss liv­ing next door to her Mozilla Home. The post here talks about fold­ing books also. Con­tinue reading

I’m cur­rently involved in quite the project.

My goal is 200 artist’s books (see pre­vi­ous posts) but rather than enclose the books in some type of box­like con­trap­tion of my own choos­ing, I’m going to give them all away. I have large, heavy card­board tubes (given to me by local freestyle site par­tic­i­pant) that are 2 – 4 feet in length and 3 – 6 inches in diam­e­ter. These flux­tubes will dis­pense the match­book artist books, sim­i­lar to a pub­lic restroom con­dom dis­penser. Gross anal­ogy. Per­haps “sim­i­lar to a tam­pon dis­penser” or … pick your image.

The Watergate Tapes... I'm folding the book that inspired my winning 3-D piece - "Fishing for Nixon". Aged paperbacks fold nicely, thank you very much. ... read more
