After a slight delay because of the relaunching of Post-Asemic Press,
Marilyn R. Rosenberg's energetic asemic action writing is finally
available at Amazon.
FALSE
FICTION FRACTURED FACT ALTERED is a book which at first
inspection resembles chaotic scribbles, but then as the reader advances through Marilyn's calligraphic artistry, subtle unveilings take the reader through a story rendered timeless by the text's handwritten abstract scribal gestures. This is not a book generated by a computer— It is a human work, original and resistant. This asemic artists' book captures the ultra free writing of the current asemic spirit in a creative and experienced playful way. Marilyn has mastered a synthesis of a calligraphic hand and creative mind as only an artist and poet combined can generate. Marilyn best explains it here:
"The concept started here with a new irritation, a bite of memory, and a
triggered reference as a glimpse, with a ghost of an old idea.
FALSE
FICTION FRACTURED FACT ALTERED can be read, continuing in both
directions, and so has two beginnings and possibly no end, spiraling
around, as do most of MRR’s bookworks, and can be read in more than one
direction. So seeing is both forward and backward, up, down and around.
Broken unity, and hesitations in continuity, are so often concretely
expressed by the fragmented circle. But, the complete circle does convey
the absence of interruption, and many circles, whole and part circles
are here. There are fish in various places, which for decades are the
metaphors for groups, family or specific personalities. The name of a
fish, the type of fish, gives the clue to its reason for being in the
space it occupies. Calligraphic marks can recount one side of abstract
conversations. Sometimes the open folio is one thought, but most often
the facing pages are in dialogue, sometimes in heated contrast and
possibly interacting or playing with the pages before and those pages
ahead. Calligraphic drawing marks, indecipherable language,
Ideogrammatic language, asemic poetry, is the language without known
language, before written language, the language beyond any language.
Varieties of Ideogram languages/ asemic narratives, tell abstract
stories, of course. Interacting within themselves and with the
viewer/reader, the pages do ask- are we filled with drawings or poems?
Altered and added marks, layered, have hints of depth, space, and
sometimes of darkness. Images of objects, and new marks together with
those from this earlier series, develop new groups of visual and asemic
poems/drawings. 2018 computer collages are 90, or so, pages in this
edition artists' book - FALSE FICTION FRACTURED FACT ALTERED."

I’ve known Marilyn R.
Rosenberg’s work since the mid-80s and
have had the honor of
publishing her work as an issue of the visual
poetry magazine Xerolage. In the era of fact
facts and fake fakes
these gestures of pen,
pencil and brush expose the pre-cognitive
gestures of a mind
always moving thru a landscape populated by
the enigmas of
language yet to be understood. We open the
notebook to remember,
to project, to learn how to think again. The
never-ending story
never ends, or so we are led to believe. Believe
in the marks your hand
makes when no one is watching. They will
never lie.

BRIEF BIO - Marilyn R. Rosenberg
Born
in Philadelphia Pa, MRR is second generation in the USA and all of her
family came from the Ukraine while it was under Russian rule. She and

Professional Studies in Studio Arts at Empire State College, State U of
NY. In 1993 MRR graduated with a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from
the Graduate School of Arts and Science, New York University, NY, NY.
Marilyn
R. Rosenberg, as usual, with actual and virtual collage, with pen and
brush, stencils, ink, and gouache is making unique and edition images
often in bookworks or artists' books. And using the mouse, the Mac, and
scanner MRR makes marks, images and words. Since 1977 MRR has been in
some one person exhibitions and very many international group exhibits.
MRR’s works are part of early mail art, and in current interactions.
Ongoing MRR makes artists’ stamps, bookmarks, artists’ books, visual and
asemic poetry. A small percentage are created with collaborators. Many
unique sculptural bookworks, and published edition works, and works in
catalogs, zines and anthologies can be found in university, college and
museum library collections.
