Encyclopedia Neurotica

Encyclopedia Neurotica is a comedic book that presents itself as a mock encyclopedia, cataloging a wide range of neurotic behaviors, psychological quirks, and modern anxieties. Written in an alphabetical format, each entry offers witty and exaggerated definitions for imagined conditions, social phenomena, and personal foibles. The book satirizes self-help culture, pop psychology, and the tendency to pathologize everyday experiences, blending absurd humor with sharp observations about contemporary life. It does not claim to be a serious medical or psychological reference but rather a playful exploration of human eccentricity. more

“A painting is an object which has an emphatic frontal surface. On such a surface, I paint a black band which does not recede, a color band which does not obtrude, a white square or rectangle which does not move back or forth, to or fro, or up or down; there is also a painted white exterior frame band which is edged round the edge to the black. Every part is painted and contiguous to its neighbor; no part is above or below any other part. There is no hierarchy. There is no ambiguity. There is no illusion. There is no space or interval (time).”

“In all of America, there is no more promising an urban area for revitalization than your own Over-the-Rhine. When I look at that remarkably untouched, expansive section of architecturally uniform structures, unmarred by clashing modern structures, I see in my mind the possibility for a revived district that literally could rival similar prosperous and heavily visited areas.”
