PFR: Book Talk: "Blotter: The Untold Story of an Acid Medium" with Erik Davis
The CSWR hosted Dr. Erik Davis in a conversation on his new book, Blotter: The Untold Story of an Acid Medium. Blotter is the first account of its kind, centering the history, art, and design of the iconic drug delivery device for lysergic acid diethylamide-25, or LSD. Created in collaboration with Mark McCloud's Institute of Illegal Images, the world's largest archive of blotter art, Davis's boldly illustrated exhibition treats his outsider subject with the serious, art-historical respect it deserves, while also staying true to the sense of play, irreverence, and adventure inherent in psychedelic exploration.
