SPOTLIGHT: Society for Appreciation of Small Furry Animals that Bite.
The SASFAB Year Book was printed in 1984. The appreciation in this particular year book seems limited to the Mustelid family, which are small, furry, and can certainly bite.
The concept and production of this “yearbook” were by British conceptual artist Ron Summers and Munich-based audio artist Tom Winter. We know more about Summers than Winter (likely names). Summers is a person of many interests, including book art, conceptual art, performance poetry, and mail art. In 1973 he established VEC (Visual, Experimental, Concrete) as a basis for many of the art projects he developed. You can see VEC listed in the colophon of the piece we are showing. His influences are the intermedia pioneers of the ‘60s and ‘70s, like Fluxus artists Dick Higgins and Allan Kaprow (both of whom also have work preserved in UWM Special Collections).
This book, 4 inches wide and 45 inches long, was produced on a ZX81 home computer using Sinclair ZX Printer paper. The roll of Sinclair paper is black with a thin layer of aluminum. A small current was passed through the aluminum layer causing the aluminum to evaporate revealing the black underneath. You can still see the silvery coating.
We are appreciating the very 1980s-ness of this artist’s book. We are also appreciating the several small, furry animals that bite who provided inspiration for the publication.

Tom Winter finished a lecture on passive and past-tense Latin verbs on Thursday, pulled his skateboard from the desk and rolled into a cool spring afternoon.
Remember this dude?
Michael Avenatti, best known for his representation of Stormy Daniels in her legal pursuits against Donald Trump has been sentenced to 2.5 years after Avenatti was found guilty of trying to extort over $20 million dollars.
