Venus Febriculosa Design Contest: 10 – A Hummument, 2015

Venus febriculosa, a website devoted to contemporary literature and the art and design of books, announces its DESIGN CONTEST 10 – A Humument: A Treated Victorian Novel by Tom Phillips. A Humument is, in the words of Marvin Sackner, co-founder of the Ruth and Marvin Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry a visual-poetic artist’s book, a found novel whose every page has been altered by the artist through painting, collage, drawing, cut-up techniques, and even burning. The result is art, but it is also poetry (concrete, found, haptic), narrative, autobiography, oracle. This work is all of this and more owing to the erudition and humor of its immensely gifted and indefatigable creator. The purpose of the contest is to foster interest in literature and its relation to the visual arts. Artist Tom Phillips will evaluate all of the submissions and the winner or winners will be selected based solely upon his own subjective criteria. There is not entry fee
