2020 / Collected writing / Sweat Drenched Press
A collection of Pappas-Kelley’s critical writing, interviews, and letters on art.
The book approaches writing as a structure that can be built, cut into, and rearranged. Its introduction draws connections between Sarah Winchester’s continually rebuilt house and Gordon Matta-Clark’s architectural cuts.
An accompanying collection brings together texts from the book, documentation of ArtRod’s programmes, and the works and ideas discussed in the writing.
