This event has ended.

Printed Matter, Inc. is pleased to host the launch of the 2 latest publications by 100% Biz, LLC: "The Nightmare Doesn't Care" by Lindsay Beebe and "Nathan Whipple" by Nathan Whipple. Please join the artists and publishers for a reading and signing.

"The Nightmare Doesn't Care" is an anthology of poems and drawings by artist, musician, and performer Lindsay Beebe, whose work frames violence, humor, sex and politics within her own unique post-hippy, post-punk outlook. Written in Beebe's homespun slang vernacular, these raw, earthy poems produce a dream-like fusion of the urban and rural, inspired by experiences ranging from a hung-over job interview to an epiphany in the woods. Marrying the anti-establishment toilet humor of The Fugs’ lyrics with the manic, carnal, and emotional tones of Kathy Acker’s writing, Beebe's poems embody the legacy of a particular American underground sensibility.

"Nathan Whipple" is a collection of drawings by New York based artist and musician Nathan Whipple. Prolific in recorded output and live performance, Whipple is also known for the iconic drawings that accompany his albums and concert flyers. For his first book, Whipple created a series of over 100 drawings in his signature graphic style, rendering a perplexing array of "things" (dogs, washing machines, baby heads and machine guns) in bold, cartoonish line. Whipple's obsessive repetition of forms in different combinations creates a rhythm of images, building on themselves to reveal an esoteric index.
