The Riddle of the Traveling Corpse
Rebecca Bird, Jenni Knight, Caolan Madden, Elizabeth Gumport & Joanna Neborsky

A digital project, part of Orbiting an Absent Program
  • Rebecca Bird is a painter living in Brooklyn. She studied at the Cooper Union and Kanazawa College of Arts in Japan and sometimes works as an archaeological illustrator in Egypt. She is interested in stage tricks and nonbiological life, especially the kind that happens on paper.
  • Jenni Knight likes to make messes with tactile ease in a gritty corner of the world. Don’t deny them their beauty! They try hard like arabesques. She is also an artist immersed in low-fidelity media, including lots of crap with peering eyes like hers that calls out from the street.
  • Caolan Madden has an MFA in poetry from Johns Hopkins and is a PhD candidate in English at Rutgers University. She lives in Brooklyn.
  • Elizabeth Gumport is working toward an MFA in fiction at Johns Hopkins. She lives with her gerbil, Henry.
  • Joanna Neborsky is a maker of jittery ink drawings and 1960s-stung collage; someone who wasn’t, remarkably, Joanna Neborsky, said her work suggests a blend of “Shel Silverstein, Yellow Submarine, and Cy Twombly.” (She would gently add Monty Python.) Her first book, Illustrated Three-Line Novels: Félix Fénéon, a collection of gruesome turn-of-the century news items translated by Luc Sante, was published by Mark Batty Publisher in September 2010. Her clients include Farrar, Straus & Giroux, W Magazine, and the New York Times.
