WEISS, David
David Weiss: Up and down town

A small, white booklet with around 150 ink drawings and no text other than the title on the front: "up and down town" by David Weiss, written on a cover page that is, quite literally, rain-soaked. But it gets even worse. In all the drawings, it keeps raining, and it never stops. The wet asphalt glistens, neon signs reflect in reverse on car roofs, a tram splashes water from the tracks onto the hunched figures beneath umbrellas. But if you look more closely at this ever-changing urban setting, odd characters begin to flicker into view. A booklet to return to again and again, always discovering new things, events, constellations. [publisher's note]
