Her alphabets explore language's \"other\"--hovering presences like silence, nonverbal communication, misspellings, handwriting--and emphasize what written language commonly represses or takes for granted in order to function. But the mechanical processes of language break down under Ebner's close scrutiny; text and language are revealed as eminently physical, concrete manifestations of supposedly immaterial ideas. In her new artist's book, \u003ci\u003eStrike\u003c\/i\u003e, Ebner slows down the pace of reading to its zero degree--one letter, one page. With each letter looming as a monumental, monolithic symbol, \u003ci\u003eStrike\u003c\/i\u003e fosters a reading experience akin to our first decodings of the written word, when we started, as children, to learn how to do things \"by the book.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shannon Ebner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8867491296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788867491292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mousse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 8.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Shannon Ebner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983510438143,"sku":"9788867491292","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66748aac-1a3e-46e0-9c38-870e4c0eca0c.jpg?v=1683267078","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shannon-ebner-shannon-ebner-9788867491292","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
