The Erotic Book Club: Guillaume Apollinaire’s “Les Onze Mille Verges” (The Eleven Thousand Rods)
Thursday 29th March 2012, 8pm
Guillaume Apollinaire’s “Les Onze Mille Verges” (The Eleven Thousand Rods)
One of the most masterful and hilarious erotic novels of all time, pronounced by Picasso to be Apollinaire’s masterpiece. Debauched aristocrat Mony Vibescu and a circle of his fellow sybarites blaze a trail
of uncontrollable lust, bloody cruelty and depravity across the streets of Europe in Apollinaire’s classic erotic novel. Written in 1906 after Apollinaire’s researches at the Enfer section of the Bibliotheque
Nationale in which he encountered the suppressed works of De Sade, Restif de la Bretonne and Andrea de Nerciat, The Eleven Thousand Rods is a startling modern response to these “”old masters”” of erotica.
Length: 128 pages

Ways of Working is a series of publications which act as an exploratory research reader around the ethos and activities of the Escalator Visual Arts programme. The programme is centred on an ongoing series of intensive four-day themed retreats organised at Wysing Arts Centre in partnership with the Royal College of Art MA in Curating Contemporary Art. Ways of Working, published in collaboration with Publish And Be Damned and Unrealised Projects, works with participants of the retreats and expands on ideas generated from, and in relation to the Escalator programme. A MOCK UP, which takes the theme of production as a starting point, is the first in this series of publications.
