This zine accompanies Bill Crane's eponymous solo exhibition and retrospective, BILL CRANE, presented at Interact Gallery in Fall 2024. It features poetry and prose by Interact artists, performers, and staff alongside images of Crane's work and exhibition. "The prompt for our writing was Bill's artwork, and perhaps Bill himself: his personality, friendship, creative sensibility, artistic fearlessness, and his playfulness and sense of humor," writes editor Jonas Specktor.
