Marianne Vitale Launches 'Train Wreck' at 192 Books

Thursday, May 5 at 7PM, 192 Books presents Marianne Vitale launching Train Wreck, her puffy new 10x10-inch, 10-page artist's book from Kiito-San. How Vitale will read from a book without words will be the big surprise. Hand-made chapbooks and wearable masks will be handed out to attendees who wish to participate as the ‘choir’.

Train Wreck is Vitale‘s wry look at the infancy of the American railroad. Vitale reproduces black-and-white archival photographs of train wreckage in an incongruous merger of content and container. Each of the waterproof, pliable plastic pages of this book-object features a different locomotive carcass or caboose skeleton for the reader to re-contort at their leisure. The contrast between the soft indestructibility of this playtime “bath” book and its imagery depicting the tragic frailty of industrial-America’s iron workhorses is at once striking and amusing.
