EXTENSIONS [Nos. 1-8, Complete]

(New York): Extensions, 1974. First Edition. Very good.. Taking their name from Marshall McLuhan's 1964 UNDERSTANDING MEDIA, Zavrion and Neugroschel's EXTENSIONS bridged the worlds of art of poetry in ways not unlike 0 TO 9. As Gwen Allen wrote, "They were interested in how the magazine itself was a medium capable of extending language into other realms," a fact evident from the very first issue, which printed a version of Dan Graham's "Schema," four texts by Vito Acconci, and graffiti poems written by students in Paris during May 1968. Other contributors throughout the run include Arakawa, Mary Beach, Max Bense, André du Bouchet, André Breton, René (truncated) Char, Jean Daive, Diane Di Prima, Jean Dubuffet, Charles Henri Ford, Jim Fulkerson, Dick Gallup, Jochen Gerz, Madeline Gins, Carter Ratcliff, Georg Trakl, Oswald Wiener, Miodrag Pavlovic, Erling Salomsen, Tony Towle, Emmett Williams, and many more. The complete run, eight numbers in seven volumes. [Allen, ARTISTS' MAGAZINES, p. 259]. Wraps. 8vos. Saddle-stapled wraps. Offset printing. Near fine or better overall. Bright, clean, and sharp. 96pp. each. (Inventory #: 43604)
