Maureen Cummins (Artist Book Residency ’98, ’03, Studio Workspace Residency ’00, ’03) has just completed production of her artist’s book, AlieNation / SepaRation, as part of Swarthmore College’s
Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary project which was funded by The Pew Center for Arts and Heritage. This book is based on interviews with ten Middle Eastern war refugees who are now resettled in Philadelphia. The structure of the book features text blocks that are severed, then reprinted as quarto-sections on corresponding pages of four separate books that must be reunited in order to be read, understood, and made whole again. In this way, the reader is forced to experience some measure of the confusion, alienation, dislocation, and separation that resettlers struggle with every day. If you are interested in purchasing a copy of this book, you can email [email protected]. It will also be available through Lux Mentis Bookshop or The Kelmscott Bookshop.
