4.0
The works collected here (Saisir and Par des Traits) track a bold and revolutionary project. One that was predetermined, sadly, to remain personal. We read his struggle to make language new again and in doing that I suppose we see through to Michaux's purpose.
Art, as defined by the Russian formalist Viktor Shlovsky, is the distance between seeing and recognizing. Michaux will never relent. He insisted we never skip the former. In fact, he dreamed of a language we can only see while simultaneously maintaining sanity.
This wonderful production from Archipelago books preserves something truly inspiring.
