A snake of a book. Extending for 150 cm when unfolded, ‘SKYLINE IS THE BY-LINEZZ’ presents a double portrait of New York’s iconic skyline crafted through the gossip, pronouncements, slogans, banalities, and songs that animate the city that never sleeps.
Dollars rain on the New Museum, while elsewhere old song and recent buzzwords construct an easily recognised social cityscape. An extended work of concrete poetry created by one of its most influential practitioners.
