Two Equal Texts
Originally conceived for the window of Printed Matter, New York, in 2007, Two Equal Texts is a collaborative anagram produced in series by Micah Lexier and Christian Bök. Foil stamped in red on blue cloth front and back covers, two text statements contrast Lexier’s matter of fact request to Bök’s cryptic response. The work’s textual investigation of an abstract collaborative process is a continuation of Lexier’s work 1334 Words for 1334 Students produced with Colm Tóibín and the students of Cawthra Park Secondary School, Mississauga.
