NotesAltered Self Help Books by Lisa Kokin
Most of the pieces in the Spines and Fragments series are made from self-help books which I scavenge from the local recycling center. I am continually struck by all the various panaceas promised by the books. Any ailment or predicament can be cured or resolved, often within a specified amount of time, by the smiling person on the dust jacket.

NotesWhat you’ll need:
·A 50 cm x 100 cm styrofoam board
·2 cardboards (here’s where you’ll have to pick the color)
·Plastic (like the one you used to cover your school books with)
·Paint
·Permanent markers (OPTIONAL)
·A KnifeInstructions:
·Gif 1: Cut your styrofoam, if you have to. You can also buy two 50 cm x 50 cm styrofoams boards.
·Gif 2: In photoshop (or pixlr, or paint for all I care) create a new blank image that measures the same as you board and create your design.
·Gif 3: Print your poetry at your local Office Depot or something and paste it over your board.
·Gif 4: Cut the board with a hot knife.
·Gif 5: Paint the borders.
·Gif 6, OPTIONAL: Paste the cardboard over the styrofoam board and write your poem by hand (I did it this way). Go through steps 4 and 5 normally. -

NotesBeili Liu - 237 Minutes
“I positioned a piece of burning charcoal on a stack of wax paper. The exchange and transformation between the heat and the material is recorded on each layer of paper. The process is visually documented by the subtle transition of large, dramatic burnt holes circled with shards of black ash, to faded yellow circles. The process took 237 minutes.”

NotesAnna Garforth’s Love Your Street: “Architecture firm Squire & Partners held a street party during the London Festival of Architecture 2010. The event celebrated LFA’s “Love your Street” theme. A special installation made from the trusty old yellow pages directory was created for the event to liven up a rusty wall.” (Words of Garforth, on her website)
