The Writhing Society
The Writhing Society was a salon/class devoted to writing with constraints. It met at Proteus Gowanus, The Commons on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, The Brooklyn Public Library, and online. It was open to anyone interested in language and serious play. We explored constraints invented by the Oulipo and others, and invented some of our own. Tom La Farge kept a blog recording some of our experiments:

Proteotypes
Proteotypes began as the publishing arm of the wonderful Proteus Gowanus Gallery, now history. Many of our books were imaginative translations into print of some event or project that happened at the gallery. We favored unexpected juxtapositions in our publications. Our pamphlet series of experimental writing, the Libellulae, was printed in house and hand-sewn.
