Susan Silton: Diving into the Wreck

10 typists seated at a circular, interconnected set of desks, typing on manual typewriters in a museum's gallery space.

On now, in Los Angeles: Susan Silton: Diving into the Wreck is the first major survey of the work of LA-based artist Susan Silton.

Included in the exhibit is an installation of typewriters where registered participants are invited to “Gather around Silton’s interconnected, three-legged tables and collaboratively retype Octavia E. Butler’s landmark novel Parable of the Sower (1993) on manual typewriters in stencil mode—without ink. The work transforms reading and writing into a tactile, shared experience, asking participants to slow down, encounter Butler’s language closely, and contribute to a living work of art.”
