Artist Tim Youd is continuing his page turning performances all over the country. Dubbed “regional conceptualism,” Youd performs the typing of notable works of literature in locales geographically related to either the author’s life or the plot of the novel. Utilizing the same make and model typewriter used by the author in its original creation, Youd types the novel on a single page run through the machine over and over.
Charles Bukowski’s Post Office – A Performance
Tim Youd will perform the entirety of Charles Bukowski’s Post Office on an Underwood Champion typewriter in the parking lot of the Terminal Annex Post Office where Bukowski sorted mail for fourteen years.
