Deconstructed Journals by David Neufeld These ‘Journals’ rely on the forces of water, fire, and earth and the alchemy resulting from their exposure over time. As the co-creator, I place books in environments that alter them; I surrender the majority of the work to those forces. Harvesting the journals comes after the elements have transformed the covers and pages into non-literary objects. In 2014, I planted grass seeds in an old book and left it for seven seasons under the sky. Thus, ‘Leaves of Grass’ Journal. Later, other were left in lakes, an Maine harbor for a season; one was burned, one shot full of holes, and one burned and drowned. As this process has obliterated words, we are left to imagine the contents. The three almanacs from the 19th Century are also weathered; by 200 years of time. David Neufeld Bisbee October 2022

What is a simultaneous chess exhibition? In a simultaneous chess exhibition, also known as a simul, one player plays multiple games against multiple players at the same time. The experienced player giving the simul will have the white pieces on each board. There are no clocks or time limit in a simul.
