Film by Eric Minh Swenson. Mat Gleason at Coagula Curatorial writes: Tim Youd creates art with the typewriter. He retypes whole novels to recast the conceptual notion of the story as physical object. He has drifted into performance recently and is embarking on an ambitious project to retype whole novels in the geographic area of the book's subject. In some works, he retypes novels on the actual pages of the paperback books themselves and mounts these for presentation. For others, he inserts two pieces of paper into the typewriter. The front page receives the ink but the second page, the actual art object, receives the hundred thousand plus impressions of every letter of the novel. This beaten and torn piece of paper carries a notion of impact and is hung with his sculptural recreation of the actual brand of typewriter that the author used to create his or her masterpiece. His first ever performance took place in March of 2012 at Coagula Curatorial Gallery in conjunction with LUST LETTERS a show of art that merged text and eroticism. He typed a story onto the pages of an actual vintage paperback of Anais Nin's DELTA OF VENUS. The longest tale in that book, titled ELENA, measured thirty-two-feet when the painted, retyped pages were mounted on retro wallpaper. For his TYPEWRITER PERFORMANCE #1, he treated the audience to a paragraph of the once-infamous tome.
