Analog Manipulations: Illegibility and the Artists’ Book - 2024
Charlotte Youkilis and Raffaella della Olga
Center for Book Arts, New York

How might artists and writers manipulate language and bookmaking in order to transcend the semantic realm, moving towards the sphere of the unspeakable or illegible? Using a modified typewriter to impress ink as striations and dashes onto materials like carbon paper and sandpaper, Raffaella della Olga approaches the painterly abstraction of language. The artist will discuss her practice in conversation with Charlotte Youkilis, considering histories of the book format, asemic writing, and alternative forms of literacy.
