 Item
Identifier: CC-28081-29240
Scope and Contents

Complex number and sign schemes are printed on each page. The basis for the images was probably letraset. The format differs from the earlier Gallery Number Ten edition in which Bory's name with the caption Arithmetic Text (1, 2, 3, ...) appears at the bottom of each sheet printed in red; the latter is absent in this edition and only 10 of the 18 sheets are present. This issue was edited by Brian Lane and Trevor Wells. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Prose of the Trans-Canada / Beaulieu, Derek., 2011

 Item
Identifier: CC-52423-73548
Scope and Contents

According to the publisher, "in 1913 Blaise Cendrars created his monumental Prose of the Trans-Siberian, a milestone in the history of artists books and visual poetry. When the intended edition of 150 copies was laid end-to-end they measured the same length as the height of the symbol of Parisian Modernity, the Eiffel Tower. derek beaulieu's prodigious Prose of the Trans-Canada responds to Cendrars' legacy in a 16" x 52" visual poem. When all 150 copies of this limited edition are placed end-to-end, the resultant length is the same as the symbol of Calgarian Modernity, the Calgary Tower. A towering moment in beaulieu's on-going exploration of letraset as a medium for concrete poetry, Prose of the Trans-Canada, issued as Moments Cafe No. 8, is published in a strictly limited edition of 150 copies." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The title is taken from The Trans-Siberiean Railroad by Blasie Cendrars and Sonya Delauney.
