Evening all.  While this starts off with what looks like a slightly unashamed plug, I just wanted to start a broader discussion about typewriter-based and inspired art.  I personally like to use typewriters as they give me a level of control and ownership of the idea, whereas with a computer I'd be more at the whim of the programmer.  I was partly inspired at first by Truman Capote's comment about On The Road that "That's not writing, that's typing", and like to think of it as an entirely distinct medium...

...anyway, if any of you are in London, I have an exhibition still on until the 24th May, which features my typewriter works, it's at dalla Rosa Gallery in Clerkenwell- www.dallarosagallery.com

Also, here's an online version of an artist's book I made entirely on the typewriter which we published earlier this year- http://issuu.com/dalla_rosa_gallery/docs/dallarosa_k_pincis_lxvi_book_select
the V&A bought a copy for their collection of artists' books in the National Art Library, so if you're interested you should always be able to peruse their copy.

And finally there's also a new book out this month, Typewriter Art: A Modern Anthology, which I have one page in but which also has an amazing look at the whole medium since its inception in the 19th century.  It looks beautiful, and there is some amazing work in it.

So, what do you folks make of typewriter art?  Does it appeal?  Do you dabble from time to time in a bit of concrete poetry?
