Lee Lozano: Private Book 8

No work no obligations no guilt no desires, just my mind wandering lazily off its leash. -Lee Lozano

Lee Lozano (1930-99) kept a series of journals from 1968 to 1970 while living in New York’s SoHo neighborhood. In 1973, Lozano rigorously edited her journals, which included records of her personal relationships and interactions during this period. This pocket-sized ringbound volume is the eighth in Karma’s 11-volume facsimile printing of Lozano’s project, containing Lozano’s entries from March to April 1970. Lozano’s published notebooks convey a perpetually active mind, and give a glimpse into her process and her stylistic evolution from cartoonish pop expressionism in her early drawings to language-based conceptualism.
