Snow's latest work also exposes him as an obsessive archivist who recomposes sequenced elements from his own oeuvre, although these materialist "auto-biographies" are more musical than chronological in structure.
Michael Snow: Jack Shainman Gallery by Kelsey, John / Artforum International
The novelist looks at the world through a creative screen, even through a kind of magical kaleidoscope that dismembers, deforms, and recomposes a reality rendered iridescent by his or her vision: a genuine chemistry takes place in which the substance of observed, lived, or imagined reality becomes, through a kind of poetic transubstantiation, a new substance, one which is unlike any other: the novelistic substance itself.
Teaching the novel and short fiction by Kamm, Lew / Academic Exchange Quarterly
Naked and sprawling, he recomposes his limbs into a lovely configuration as human dignity vanquishes the squalid affronts of horror.
Compagnie Maguy Marin by Hardy, Camille / Dance Magazine
