Altered Books
“The Idea: Cut the bindings off of books found at a used book store. Find poems in the pages by the process of obliteration. Put pages in the mail and send them all around the world. Lather, rinse, repeat.”
The Altered Books site is a chronicle of a very specific set of collaborations between the artists and titles. Participants include: John M. Bennett, David-Baptiste Chirot, Holly Crawford, Fran Hill, Jennifer Hill-Kaucher, Geof Huth, Adeena Karasick, Helen Kaucher, Donna Kuhn, Jim Leftwich, Mike Magazinnik, Tim Martin, Kristen McQuillin, Sheila E. Murphy, Ross Priddle, Meghan Scott, Michelle Taransky, Kevin Thurston, Nico Vassilakis, Dan Waber, Marlea J. Waber.
