Using as source the raw materials of their correspondence from the early 80s, a period when Acker was writing \u003ci\u003eGreat Expectations\u003c\/i\u003e and trying to leave America for London, Buck confronts issues of appropriation, sampling, and plagiarism, relevant then and now. \u003ci\u003eSpread Wide\u003c\/i\u003e works to spread wide not only the thighs, but also the page and writing itself, to expose the textual and narrative pulsations that are fundamental to the creative process as experienced by both of these notable practitioners. Through Acker's letters and re-readings of her published work, Buck blurs the line between visual arts and literature, tramps documents into fiction, and creates a transgressive work that stretches back to the time of their first meetings in Amsterdam and Paris, when, as editor of the seminal magazine \u003ci\u003eCurtains\u003c\/i\u003e, he blasted French contemporary writings into the British bloodstream. Further encounters are triggered by writer Rebecca Stephens and artist John Cussans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.46 x 6.56 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 02, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769764806944,"sku":"9782914563178","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/26168829223df19c7d9938b03f0d21ad.webp?v=1780355843","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/kathy-acker-paul-buck-spread-wide-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
