Book Launch: Warm Equations

The launch of Alan Reid’s Warm Equations (Edition Patrick Frey, 2016) will feature readings by contributing writers Corina Copp, Jamieson Webster, Matthew Brannon, and editor Rachel Valinsky, and a brief discussion to follow. Warm Equations is a monograph that’s not a monograph: a study of an unstable, mercurial subject. Taking the paintings of New York-based Alan Reid as a cypher, the book pivots around the artist’s deferral of authorial closure, shifting the emphasis from his work to a multiplicity of voices and contributors. Rushing in from offstage, these voices pronounce their own concerns, setting textual tempos and rhythms that run amok non-hierarchically, catching on to or installing their own ambient metaphors. Includes texts by UDP authors Corina Copp and Kristen Kosmas, as well as Matthew Brannon, Jill Gasparina, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Alan Reid, Lisa Robertson, Chris Sharp, Rachel Valinsky, and Jamieson Webster.
