10. “Tim Youd: Ecstatic Reading” at Cristin Tierney
Performance and visual artist Tim Youd is in the thick of a ten-year project, begun in 2013, titled “100 Novels.” He plans to retype 100 books, each time using the same make and model typewriter used by the author for the original manuscript. Each piece is made using a single sheet of paper, put through the typewriter over and over again to create a densely illegible swath of ink. At Cristin Tierney, completed books from the series, including Philip K. Dick’s A Scanner Darkly, are on view alongside related paintings, drawings, and sculptures created as part of the project.
