    Tim Youd Retypes William Gass's the Tunnel

    Press contact: Eddie Silva 314.446.7496 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Artist Tim Youd retypes St. Louis author William Gass’s The Tunnel on live video stream Tim Youd at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis in 2018. April 27, 2020 (St. Louis, MO) - The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM), with Cristin Tierney Gallery, announces a live-stream, remote durational performance by Tim Youd, who will retype William Gass’s epic novel, The Tunnel, from the artist’s garage in his Los Angeles home, beginning Friday, May 1, 2020, at 11:00 am CST. Youd expects to complete the 650-page novel in 31 days, ending on May 31, his longest retyping performance to date. Youd refers to Gass’s work as a “densely postmodern” novel about becoming increasingly trapped in one’s own circumstances and in one’s own mind.” For Youd, his performative act will be akin to “tunneling out of the quarantine.” Viewers may follow Tim Youd: The Tunnel Retyped by visiting tunnelretyped.com, where they may link to the live YouTube video stream, from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm CST each day. The artist will be visited by a guest close to the project on Instagram Live each Friday at 1:00 pm, beginning with Lisa Melandri, CAM Executive Director, on May 1. Each subsequent Friday Youd will speak with Misa Jeffereis, assistant curator at CAM; Allison Unruh, Brooklyn-based independent curator and former associate curator of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum; and Cristin Tierney, director of her eponymously named New York City gallery, which represents Youd.

    Dear READER, Winter/Spring 2021 SQUARE BOOKS TOP 100 of 2020 to Understate It—2020 Was Not Square Books’ Best Year

    Dear READER, Winter/Spring 2021 SQUARE BOOKS TOP 100 OF 2020 To understate it—2020 was not Square Books’ best year. Like everyone, we struggled—but we are grateful to remain in business, and that all the booksellers here are healthy. When Covid19 arrived, our foot-traffic fell precipitously, and sales with it—2020 second-quarter sales were down 52% from those of the same period in 2019. But our many loyal customers adjusted along with us as we reopened operations when we were more confident of doing business safely. The sales trend improved in the third quarter, and November/December were only slightly down compared to those two months last year. We are immensely grateful to those of you who ordered online or by phone, allowing us to ship, deliver, or hold for curbside pickup, or who waited outside our doors to enter once our visitor count was at capacity. It is only through your abiding support that Square Books remains in business, ending the year down 30% and solid footing to face the continuing challenge of Covid in 2021. And there were some very good books published, of which one hundred bestsellers we’ll mention now. (By the way, we still have signed copies of many of these books; enquire accordingly.) Many books appear on this list every year—old favorites, if you will, including three William Faulkner books: Selected Short Stories (37th on our list) which we often recommend to WF novices, The Sound and the Fury (59) and As I Lay Dying (56), as well as a notably good new biography of Faulkner by Michael Gorra, The Saddest Words: William Faulkner’s Civil War (61).

Most recent- Cly, the Kelly Gene Cook Sr. Chair of History and Professor of Southern Studies became the third recipient of the University of Mississippi’s Distinguished Research and Creative Achievement Award. The award was presented May 8 during the university’s com- mencement ceremony. “This award honors Dr. Wilson for his scholarly contributions and his role in anticipating, inspiring, and facilitating a field of interdisciplinary research known as Southern Studies,” said Alice M. Clark, vice chancellor of re- search and sponsored programs. “Dr. Wilson’s scholarship on Southern religion, memory, and culture has elevated obser- vances of life in the South to an area of academic inquiry.” Formerly director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture, Wilson published his first book,Baptized in Blood: The Religion of the Lost Cause, 1865–1920, in 1980; it was reprint- ed with a new preface in 2009. According to his successor as Center director, Ted Ownby, “In that book Wilson helped an- ticipate a movement in the past generation that studies mem- ory as both politics and psychology. Baptized in Blood posed an essential question that scholars of the post–Civil War American South are still answering: if Confederates claimed Charles Reagan Wilson they were fighting a war in which God was on their side, how did they interpret defeat?” “I haven’t received other research awards, thus making this ships.

  • About the University of Mississippi

    About the University of Mississippi

    About UM - History - University Buildings | Spring 2019-20 About the University of Mississippi Overview Mission Administration Board Accreditation EEO History Buildings Oxford Campus and University Buildings Locale Situated on rolling land at an altitude of 500 feet, the university’s Oxford campus is noted for its natural beauty. With its elms, oaks, magnolias, poplars, redbuds, and dogwoods, the campus has the appearance of a well-kept park. Originally the campus was approximately one-square-mile in area. Over the years it has expanded to more than 2,500 acres in total. The main campus and the land to the south across Highway 6 comprise approximately 1,200 acres. An additional 1,300 acres were added when land was acquired for the airport, golf course, Biological Field Station, and former mall. The Buildings Most of the university buildings are Georgian, modified Georgian, or contemporary in architectural design. Two of the three surviving antebellum buildings are Greek Revival in design. The buildings are listed in the chronological order of their construction. 19th Century The Lyceum Begun July 14, 1846, and completed in 1848, the Lyceum is of stately Ionic Greek Revival design and bricks thought to have been made from clay at the site. Its architect was William Nichols. The building was lengthened in 1858, two flanking wings added in 1903, and the west facade in 1923. The entire building was renovated from 1998-2000. The sole survivor of the five original buildings, it has remained the principal administration building. The Lyceum bell is believed to be the oldest college bell in America.
