Description

This is the catalog of Roman Verostko’s retrospective, which opened in January 2019 at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, where he taught for twenty-six years. His 2003 plotter drawing on the cover, The Cloud of Unknowing, shares its title with a fourteenth-century English spiritual guide. He recalled the guide from his monastic years while he was studying Alan Turing’s work on computable numbers.
