I’m kicking off a year of limited edition lathes, and the first in the series is by Mr. Lunde. The audio is a reading (with processing) of Lunde’s text, “dressage.” I’ve enjoyed the bulk of Eric’s writing (going back to LLND), and for me this piece carries overtones of some of the ideas addressed in Meat is Music and Art and Its Other(s). I don’t want to project too much, but this is a text that had some lovely resonance for me.
The 7” comes in hand-stamped sleeve designed and executed by Eric, a printed and stamped insert that includes the text, and a hand-stamped cardstock insert. Of course, Eric did some lateral thinking with the supplemental material, as on the cardstock insert he provides an email address that, if you send an email with your land address, will result in Eric sending you mail art (primarily in the form of postcards) from now until (near) the end of time.
Over the course of the pandemic, I have received about 40 such postcards, and they range from fluxus-esque phrases to asemic writing to patterning.
Edition of 26 lettered copies, of which 19 are available for sale. This is the first in a series of eight limited editions lathes by various artists throughout 2021.
the lathe is $35 ppd in the US, and subscriptions to all eight lathes in the series are still available.
