Duet of three idiots is a compilation of lesser known

poetry by three futurist poets of the Tiflis based 41°

group: Igor Terentev (1892–1937), Aleksei Kruchenykh

(1886–1968), and Ilia Zdanevich (1894–1975). This

book, in a 13 copy edition with an artist proof, is the first

example of Karasik’s actual use of futurist art, his main

inspiration. The book consists of 6 folded sheets (24

pages) on which both text and illustrations, executed in

brush, are lithographed in black. A collage of silver-foil

and a small torn piece of paper has been added. The

folded sheets are contained in a black cardboard folder

with a “3 x” cutout, that isinside a red board box with

collage of paper rulers. A booklet in English with the

biographies of the poets has been added.
