Johanna Drucker
5/5 ( ratings)
Codex, a collection of essays and artists' works on the seductiveness of the book, examines the role of the printed and bound volume in everyday life and thought. Featured are essays by Johanna Drucker, who argues that instructions for use of the book are encoded in its genetic material; by John Barry, who steps back to look at the books that stand--unread--on his shelf; and by Rachel Schreiber, who interviews Ellen Lupton, the curator of contemporary design at Cooper-Hewitt, the National Design Museum, on the state of the book in the wired age. ALSO: bibliomancy, artist books, impossible books, edible books, hirsute books, altered books, and an archival cockroach who totes text in his interstitial DNA.
