Werner Pfeiffer: Book-Objects and Artist Books

Great attendance at the Werner Pfeiffer lecture and opening reception at Cornell University Library last night. The exhibit is online at http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/wernerpfeiffer/ and the lecture will be online shortly.

Literary Salvo

In his lecture Pfeiffer talked about his WWII German childhood, censorship, and repression influenced his bookworks in which the books become inaccessible. He also showed his latest work, Out of the Sky 9/11, A Tribute, assembling and taking it back down. He gave a similar lecture on Out of the Sky at Syracuse on 9/11/2008.
