Exactly a century ago, French author Raymond Roussel published Locus Solus. The book went on to influence some of the major figures of 20th century art and literature, including Marcel Duchamp, Alain Robbe-Grillet, John Ashbery, and Harry Mathews. Now the visual artist, novelist, and media theorist Mark Amerika has performatively remixed Roussel’s text for his own ends. - See more at: http://counterpathpress.org/locus-solusmark-amerika#sthash.hwO2Vgdz.dpuf Exactly a century ago, French author Raymond Roussel published Locus Solus.
