"OFF PEAK (a training guide)" is a the third self-published book by Branden Koch.
Siting Marcel Duchamp's painting: "Sad Young Man on a Train" from 1911-12 as a grand central terminal station for repeated departure, OFF PEAK is a selected collection of drawings, writings, and excerpted text put to paper while commuting to-and-from the artist's day job on NYC's Metro North Train. Each book is individually 'prepared' with unique drawings and hand-inked segments over over low-quality digitally printed pages which distort, cyborg, or screen the hand-drawn line. OFF-PEAK is best read with your body positioned horizontally: here, a non-linear performative image/text emerges like the a half-awake/half-dream state of the train commuter. 52 pages. Limited edition of 50. 2019. Please allow one week for shipping.
