Spare Room reading: James Yeary & Lisa Radon
February 29, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeJames Yeary and Lisa Radon will read from their new books, Hawai’i and Age of Sand.
“Hawai’i” is a survey of the emotional topography of the outer solar system. Different sources (all imagined) culture (microbiologically) its dreaming cartographer. Accompanying “Hawai’i,” a serial poem called “Lucien” watches the self-mythologizing of an old galaxy that out of loneliness has started talking to itself.
Hawai’i by James Yeary
ciel o canth (Alderich Mime, Lake Vostok), 2020. Cover by Sam Lohmann. 52 pages, hand-sewn in an edition of 220.
AGE OF SAND is a book of log entries that imagines impossible interconnectivities, rewritings and rewrightings of the digital and the analog, the past and the future through a cyberfeminist lens. What are the qualities of the permeable membrane between the digital and the analog, and how might exploits in the former facilitate a reshaping of the latter? More generally, while the threats at this juncture may be obvious, what might we say are the possibilities?
AGE OF SAND by Lisa Radon.
Panel (Los Angeles), 2020. 192 pages. Printed by Container Corps in an edition of 300 copies sewn and bound by the artist.
