Rooms Colors Dream Amy England

Gothic Marxism attempts to reconcile Marx and Freud, but what does that have to do with color? Simultaneously a meditation on color and a meditation on meditations on color, Amy England's new image-text poetic manifesto [Rooms Colors Dreams] is part biography and part specimen cabinet of intellectual curiosities. As artist, curator and docent of this virtual museum/library/archive, England presents us with an array of moments--some lived (first- or second-hand), some imagined, some dreamed---that map for us the very personal and subjective processes by which experience becomes idea and vice versa.
