CIANCIOLO, Susan. The Run 7 Book.

(New York, NY): Alleged Press,1998.  First edition.  Small booklet, measures 18cm by 11cm.  96 pages. Since the mid-1990s, the artist-designer-filmmaker Susan Cianciolo has been a fixture on New York’s avant-garde art and fashion scene. A bona fide cult figure, she produces not only hand-crafted clothing that is both high-concept and homespun, but also a body of drawings, videos and performance pieces exploring the social relationships behind her creations. Throughout her career, she’s been championed by everyone from Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon to Vogue. The Run 7 book is a true manifestation of her spirit. The book includes contributions from artists such as Mark Gonzales, Rita Ackermann, Margaret Kilgallen and Chris Johanson, alongside drawings and collages by Cianciolo.  A fine copy in wrappers.
