An experiment in book making, which takes up the form of the LP record as a starting point for re-configuring the haptics of the printed book. Presented as a collection of unbound pages inside a gatefold record sleeve, the publication includes a pressed record, as well as written, visual and sonic contributions from scholars, poets, artists, choreographers and DJs. Through the logic of the detail, each contributor imaginatively (re)produces Ernie Barnes's iconic painting The Sugar Shack as an archive of personal histories and a universe of intergenerational connections. Held together : as an album, it is a performance to be made at home, which invites readers/listeners to feel art's histories and : to be in them with their bodies. d.a. carter with contributions by Taylor Renée Aldridge; Samiya Bashir; La Marr Jurelle Bruce; DJ Lynnée Denise, Jennifer Harge, Duane Lee Holland, Jr., William H. Mosley, Ill, Zoé Samudzi, S*an D. Henry-Smith, Melanie Stevens and Phillip B. Williams
