| Summary: | Artist Gerry Bibby's first publication is a work of fiction that expands on the use of text in his sculpture, performance, and image work. Evoking William Burroughs's The Wild Boys and Robert Walser's The Walk, these "language costumes" pay homage to an unruly tradition of radical and queer literary presences over the last century. Their captivating passages brim with wit, wry observation, and (occasional) disgust, offering viewers "ways out," even if only while reading. |
