ABOUT THE BOOK
Side 1
AUTODIDACTICA displays Felicia Rice’s evolving aesthetic concerns (typographic, illustrative, structural) and exploration of content (poetry and performance scripts from a range of constituencies with a primary focus on Latino culture), from 1980-2014. It begins with an excerpt from Ellen Bass’ FOR EARTHLY SURVIVAL, and includes reproductions of the pages from five subsequent books.
Side 2
Here Felicia’s drawings of her cars over the past decades are overprinted on a collage of encyclopedia pages. Each car has a story relating to the development of the press and its publications. These stories are presented in performance by Felicia Rice. Dates of upcoming performances to be announced.
