Welcome!

                                                         Welcome to  Kan-shiketsu! 

Purveyor of hand-made, hand-bound books of questionable quality and value from hand-crafted language, spontaneous calligraphy, and poorly-conceived graphemes. 

As well as limited-edition hand-printed prints. 

All crafted by Eric Lunde  with his usual lack of attention to detail and "quality".

Judge for yourself.

This blog will occasionally host notice of editions currently available and the occasional poetic entry as well as Asemic configurations.

Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Kan-shiketsu aims to exploit the latent and fundamental incoherence and illegible qualities of language and cognition. You don't know anymore than you can handle and language is not an aid for overcoming this shortfall but aiding our incoherence. Obviously language is not the basis for truth so why are you expecting it?

Now that we live in a profoundly dystopian world, where meaning is bent to the whim and favor of those who can afford it, it seems to me the most appropriate action would be create languages that abandon the norms of the semantic-oriented languages, especially now that they have revealed how untrustworthy semantics is. I guess we must erase language to save language.

For me, speaking for Kan-shiketsu and Eric Lunde, language works best as graphic and audio noise, because really, that's all it is now isn't it?

The works presented are available for purchase or lend, inquiries welcome.
