Errant Elements<\/strong> is a chapbook series organized around the Periodic Table of the Elements. Edited by Marina Peterson and Gretchen Bakke (with founding editor Megan Gette).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Dmitri Mendeleev left gaps in his model of the periodic table for the not-yet-known \u2014 elements that the prior century sought to standardize and classify by atomic weight and chemical properties \u2014 to allow history to fill in, but not to leave open to speculation, or to leave alone. What can be made from what is that isn\u2019t yet? How might the elements be constitutive of something different? What is missing or lacking? How can those absences be incorporated or invented into the base materials? What needs to change from what we have to make what we don\u2019t have?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The form \u2013 118 folded chapbooks designed to be combined in various ways \u2013 supports a collective exploration of the combinatory affordances and stories of the elements. The format is a 5×5\u201d trifold brochure that folds into a square. This allows readers to connect pieces in different ways, constructing official or imagined elements and reading across diverse entries in ways that open new imaginaries.<\/span><\/p>
