Very cool. Have you heard of the poet Billy Collins? Here's a website where artists put some of his work into art. www.bcactionpoet.org
Keri,
Have you seen Jeffrey Sachs work. Look at bbc.co.uk/radio4 and section on the Reith Lectures. I've been challenged by his message about what we can do to support people in extreme poverty. I think his book is called "The end of Poverty". There are also videos on Youtube. I've been struck and inspired by many of your posts and he came to mind in respect of your posts about seed bombs with reference to his championing of bednets. Obtuse logic? Anyway have a look and make of it what you will. Ian
Thank you for this--I love Alex Itin! He is a treasure trove of creativity--and he lives in my town! I think art that involves books and ripping them up is highly underrated.
