Max Blagg: Slow Dazzle Poems & Prose for 25 Artists
Max Blagg: Slow Dazzle Poems & Prose for 25 Artists
December 15th / 7 PM / Free
Publication Party and Reading
We are fortunate to have Max Blagg still sharing his poetic post-Beat wit and wisdom. He speaks in the language of our rapidly disappearing tribe; a language filled with pain and delight. —Nan Goldin
Howl! Happening is pleased to host a publication party with Max Blagg and friends to celebrate the publication of Slow Dazzle, an illustrated book documenting his collaborations with artists like Larry Clark, Alex Katz, Jack Pierson, Richard Prince, Jerelyn Hanrahan, Keith Sonnier and many others. Slow Dazzle arrives just in time for the holidays from Shallow Books!
Blagg was born in England and has lived in New York City since 1971. He is the author of four collections of poetry and several other books, chapbooks, and literary ephemera. Dead Folks Talking, a series of interviews with dead celebrities, many of which have originally appeared in 10 Magazine, will be published in 2017. He is editor-at-random for Man of the World magazine as well as contributing editor to Oyster magazine (Australia) and 10 Magazine (London), and a member of the photography faculty at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His ‘typewriter’ wall works are in several important private collections. They were exhibited at SHOW ROOM gallery (NYC) in 2013, and 6 Decades Books (NYC) in 2014. Five new works will be featured in a group show at Tripoli Gallery, Southampton, which opened on November 26, 2016.
