Walter Hamady is an artist, poet, teacher, printer and papermaker who has self published since 1964 through his Perishable Press. With a tendency to challenge the traditional notion of the book, Perishable Press publications are noted for their hand-made paper, distinguished typography and unique colophons.
This work called alternatively 'Neopostmodrinism, or, Dieser Rasen ist kein Hundeklo, or, Gabberjabb Number 6' is one of 'The Interminable Gabberjabbs' series Hamady began in 1973.
Along with the other works in the series, this book seeks to focus attention on its form as much as its intellectual content. The tone of the work is overwhelmingly playful, incorporating a cornucopia of techniques including collage, rubber stamps, found materials, cuts, and folded and stuck pages, to name but a few. Hamady the printer (as well as the author) is omnipresent in the work; pages are continually self-referential ('Do not count as page number 43a') and printers' ornaments and devices are constantly foregrounded.
The book also plays with the gutter and foredges of pages, an area Hamady describes as the 'empty quarter' of the book, not usually 'seen' while reading. Hamady remedies this by filling several of them with images or text. The rules change with each page, showing Hamady's creative self expression as both writer and printer.
NAL copy is no. 109 in an edition of 125.
