Performance artist Tim Youd sits at his typewriter in the Adele Learning Commons while retyping the Willa Cather novel “O Pioneers!”
Tim Youd, a performance artist from Los Angeles, spent six days at the beginning of April retyping the Willa Cather novel "O Pioneers!" on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus.
The retyping is part of Youd's 100 Novels project, in which he retypes a famous novel, by typewriter, on a single sheet of paper. The final product is an art piece meant to represent how our minds understand a novel. Youd will be retyping two more Cather novels in Nebraska. His six weeks in the state are sponsored by the Willa Cather Archive.
