Malini Gupta: "This book explores the world of unsolicited spam emails that often bombard our inbox. Their quirky grammar and delightfully absurd stories make these emails a thrill to read. Out of the Blue plays on the fact the emails often follow a template. The reader gets to mix-and-match the stories and generate their own spam by switching out the paragraphs!"

Unfolding
By Malini Gupta
Portland, Oregon: Ochre Design, 2007. Edition of 10.

15.5 x 5"; 11 loose leaves. Letterpress printed with handset type and illustrations printed from polymer plates. Illustrations blind embossed. Laid in red paper wraparound.

Malini Gupta: "Unfolding explores the ongoing genocide in Darfur. The blind embossed illustrations were drawn from photographs of a Die-in performance, a form of protest where the participants simulate being dead, that I staged in conjunction with this piece. The line drawings at the bottom of each page connect to form the map of Sudan. The cut-up poem was composed from Nicholas Kristof’s coverage of the genocide in The New York Times….Meanwhile, the genocide goes on."
