SERIES NARRATIVE

Print culture, along with an expanded view of the "act of publication," has long played a role Gould's work, and in turn Red76, the work of Beyond Repair, and other collaborations and initiatives. Printed materials, such as Journal of Radical Shimming, are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art and other institutions, and more importantly, tactically this printed matter has been scattered to the winds across the world, posted on light poles, left on subway benches, placed under the windshield wipers of cop cars.
