Surviving Death with Madeline GinsA Conversation with Paul Chan and Lucy IvesSaturday, February 27, 2021, 3:30-5pm EST (online)
events, 02/01/21
During Printed Matter’s first Virtual Art Book Fair, artist Paul Chan and writer Lucy Ives will discuss the writing, architecture, and life of Madeline Gins (1941–2014), a visionary interdisciplinary thinker and artist who, with her partner Arakawa, created the experimental architectural project Reversible Destiny, through which they sought to arrest mortality by transforming the built environment. Chan and Ives will explore related themes in critical theory, philosophy, and contemporary arts practice, as well as the editorial process for The Saddest Thing Is That I Have Had to Use Words: A Madeline Gins Reader, a collection of Gins’s long out-of-print or unpublished writings. The conversation will be followed by a Q&A.

Time for the 20th NY Art Book Fair, 9/24-27! siglio’s at table #1 in Room M (in excellent company—a whole world in this room!). There will be new books, new ephemera, discounts on the back list, and little surprises, too. We love this fair, truly. Nowhere else do you see the imagination, ingenuity, stamina, and dedication of so many people making very special kinds of books, and nowhere else do you see so many more people delighting in them. That Printed Matter has been holding this fair for twenty years evinces the very inviting and energetic space along the edges, in the margins, outside the mainstream. Hope to see you there!
