NO GRID IN THE DESERT: ED STECK ON WRITING AND VISUAL ART COLLABORATIONS

Carnegie Mellon School of Art Room 303

Ed Steck will present and read from his own work — which includes text-image collaborations with artists David Horvitz, Adam Marnie, and Marc Handelman. Steck will also discuss his archival method of writing—one that informs his work across various forms, i.e. poetry, criticism, and projects.

Ed Steck is a writer from Southwestern Pennsylvania, currently living in Pittsburgh. Recent publications include: The Rose (with artist Adam Marnie, Hassla Books, 2013), A Time Stream in Spaces: The Cultic Parody of Time-Induced Capital (West, 2012), and Public Access with artist David Horvitz. His work has most recently appeared in the Brooklyn Rail, LIT, and Omer Fast: 5,000 Feet Is Best (Sternberg Press, 2012). He has collaborated with visual artists such as Wintergarten LTD and Marc Handelman. He is a co-editor of American Books. He graduated from Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts.
