Ian Trask, Strange Histories: A Bizarre Collections
This book is a uniquely weird compilation of written stories that were inspired by my popular series of 35mm slide collages. The 38 stories contained within it were collected during a three-year process of creative call-and-response with a group of 29 amazing friends and artists. In the foreword to the book, contributor Brandon Kaplan describes these stories as:
"...by turns funny, poetic, fabulist, political, and deeply personal. Their remarkable range in both style and substance bears out how a work of art can transcend individual experience, signifying many meanings among many people and connecting them all through a common point. The book maps a constellation of such connections between image and language, artist and patron, friends and strangers, past and present, expression and meaning."
