Five Kwaidan in sleeve pages / Young, Karl., 1986

 Item
Identifier: CC-38322-40219
Scope and Contents

The five poems that make up the text are based upon Japanese ghost stories told by Lafcadio Hearn in his book, "Kwaiden." The book has an unusual construction in that the sleeve pages are to be opened from their sides to reveal continuation of the poem printed on the recto sides of the pages. In the introduction, Young writes, "...I make use of the three-dimensional pages: pages with insides and outsides... I hope that each reader will bring his or her own senses of inside and outside to the reading of this book. I should, however, point out that the insides and outsides interact with each other in various ways, primarily by paralleling or working against each other. The inside-outside tension should not only create a dialectical progression, but constantly turn the book on on itself and out to the reader." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

For Adults Only (The Art Book - Passion Plays and Amourous Spells), 1996

 Item — Box 100: [Barcode: 31858072538311]
Identifier: CC-28807-30122
Scope and Contents Sandra Jackman writes to the Sackners that this piece was inspired by her Hungarian grandmother who always told her, "To read is to want to know." She hid candy and books in the second drawer of her bureau, where Jackman would forage. "I was grown before I realized that I had been seduced into becoming a reader. In Europe, the rabbis would drip honey on scripture written on slate for the young students to lick off after they repeated the lesson...This early freedom to investigate any form of reading material, to appease my curiosity is the inspiration for Adults Only, a book within a book. My grandmother's bureau is transformed into a dollhouse cupboard and collaged with scraps of printed matter. Its shelves are filled with treasures. This is the centerpiece for a triptych (a style usually reserved for religious images). The front left wing refers to a myth. The fellow with the flute to his lips is from a painting by Perugino. Marsyas the Satyr is showing off his talent to the God...
