Abstract

Re-itinerating the artist's projects from his early beginnings till today, this volume offers an exhaustive overview of 'the work of Tim Volckaert'. A hybrid between canonical cataloguing and artist-driven exhibiting. The work of Tim Volckaert translates a world vision where duality which characterises and dominates the history of Western thought is central. In his drawings, sculptures and actions the image of 'the landscape' is often the starting point. The landscape in the qualification of 'world space' that serves as a backdrop to comment on the struggle of man with his environment.

Abstract

"What exactly is a book? This wildly inventive and thought-provoking volume asks that question of more than 30 of today's top creative visionaries, from Ed Ruscha to Miranda July, John Baldessari to Jonathan Lethem. Each traditional element of a book--from endpapers to footnotes--is assigned to a different artist or writer invited to use the space as a creative playground. The result is a collaborative group art project like no other. A ribbon bookmark by David Shrigley, page numbers by Tauba Auerbach, endnotes by Rick Moody--each contribution surprising and brilliant. This one-of-a-kind book will entrance anyone who appreciates art, literature, and the surprising possibilities that emerge when the two collide."

Abstract

In 'Unshelfmarked': Reconceiving the artists' book, Michael Hampton vets the medium's history, postulating a new timeline that challenges the orthodox view of the artists' book as a form largely peculiar to the twentieth century. "Post-Deweyed, these works form an entirely new corpus, showcasing the artists' book not as a by-product of the book per se, but both its antecedent and post-digital flowering, many salient twentieth-century features proleptically flickering here and there through time, its epigenetic influence finally come to permeate mainstream book design everywhere; the manifold traits and studio processes inherent to the artists' book bursting from their stitched sheath, cheerfully pollinating the whole gamut of reading impedimenta and spaces." The book features fifty examples from the iconic to the obscure-accenting the codex's molecular structure rather than its customary role as a vehicle for text-a critical exposé of multiple types, plus an extensive select bibliography.

Abstract

'Oei' is a facsimile of the notebook which Guy Rombouts filled from cover to cover with the word 'oei' over a span of one week in the summer of 1976. In the early Eighties, he developed the 'Rombouts', an alphabet that translates each letter into its own colour and intersection-less line, based on the first letter of the word describing that line. Consequently, each word acquires its own shape. In 1986, this acrophonic alphabet was baptised Azart. The cover of this facsimile shows Azart versions of the word 'oei'.

Abstract

The artist's magazine as a place where new ideas and forms can be imagined and created, from the eighteenth century to the twenty-first. The multiple platforms of the digital era have not diminished the role of the magazine for artists as an alternative medium and experimental space. Whether printed on paper or electronically generated, the artist's magazine continues to be a place where new ideas and forms can be imagined as well as a significant site of artistic production. Intrinsically collaborative, including readers' active engagement, the magazine is an inherently open form that generates constantly evolving relationships. It was integral to the emergence of art criticism in the Enlightenment period and to the development of artistic dialogues around notions of culture, politics, and the public from the modern era avant-gardes to the present. This collection contextualizes the current condition and potential of the artist's magazine, surveying the art worlds it has created and then superseded; the commercial media forms it has critically appropriated, intervened in, or subverted; the alternative DIY cultures it has brought into being; and the expanded fields of cultural production, exchange, and distribution it continues to engender. In addition to surveying case studies of transformational magazines from the early 1960s onwards, The Magazine includes a wide-ranging archive of key editorial statements, from eighteenth-century Weimar to twenty-first century Bangkok, Cape Town, and Delhi.

Abstract

"Fantasies of the Library lets readers experience the library anew. The book imagines, and enacts, the library as both keeper of books and curator of ideas--as a platform of the future. One essay occupies the right-hand page of a two-page spread while interviews scrolls independently on the left. Bibliophilic artworks intersect both throughout the book-as-exhibition. A photo essay, "Reading Rooms Reading Machines" further interrupts the book in order to display images of libraries (old and new, real and imagined), and readers (human and machine) and features work by artists including Kader Atta, Wafaa Bilal, Mark Dion, Rodney Graham, Katie Paterson, Veronika Spierenburg, and others. The book includes an essay on the institutional ordering principles of book collections; a conversation with the proprietors of the Prelinger Library in San Francisco; reflections on the role of cultural memory and the archive; and a dialogue with a new media theorist about experiments at the intersection of curatorial practice and open source ebooks. The reader emerges from this book-as-exhibition with the growing conviction that the library is not only a curatorial space but a bibliological imaginary, ripe for the exploration of consequential paginated affairs. The physicality of the book--and this book--"resists the digital," argues coeditor Etienne Turpin, "but not in a nostalgic way.""

Abstract

In 2003, the Antwerp art centre deSingel, starts the project Curating the Library, initiated by Moritz Küng. A variety of individuals — writers, architects, choreographers, artists, philosophers, scientists — present their favourite books. These books are part of a steadily growing archive: Curating the Library, a mobile, mirroring sculpture designed by Richard Venlet. In 2009 Curating the Library ends. In the course of six years, 110 guest speakers have presented 1,557 books to the public.In 2016-17, at the request of Wim Lambrecht (LUCA School of Arts) and Jan de Vylder (KU Leuven, Faculty of Architecture), the book collection and the reflective sculpture move to Sint-Lucas Ghent. From January to June 2017 they become the backdrop of bustling events and lectures under the heading Reading Curating the Library.Posture Editions is invited to respond to the library and asks artist Sophie Nys to make a book to­gether. Sophie is intrigued by ‘The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentle­man’ by Laurence Sterne, a novel that was selected by as many as four lecturers. Sophie and Posture address a call to the students of Sint-Lucas Ghent and 75 students take part in a drawing session.The result, ‘Not to Be Fed, But to Be Famous’: a book including 75 drawings, mirrored opposite the original cover of the book chosen, with the name of the speaker who originally introduced the book in deSingel.This anthology is followed by a text from curator Sarah Demeuse in which she tries to find out how we can read Tristram Shandy today.In an attempt to reconstruct the complete story of Curating the Library, the book contains the registration of all lecturers and the books they chose, a facsimile edition of the original deSingel folder.The book ends with a survey of all lectures and performances for Reading Curating the Library.They bear witness to the variety of events that took place in Sint-Lucas Ghent.Neither in deSingel, nor in Sint-Lucas Ghent there was a librarian in the library. This strange fact inspired Sophie Nys to add an extra to Not to Be Fed.

Abstract

L'auteur rend compte dans cette publication de la naissance du livre d'artiste aux Etats-Unis et en Europe à la lumière des relations priviligiées qu'il entretient avec les avant-gardes des années 60 et 70: poésie concrète, Fluxus, art minimal et coceptuel, Arte povera, art narratif, Land art, art de la Performance ou du Hapenning, parmi d'autres. Cet ouvrage constitue la synthèse la plus large à ce jour de la production internationale. Plus de 100 livres y sont analysés émanant de quelques 300 artistes. Chaque chapitre est consacré à une approche particulière du livre d'artiste. Ainsi est-ce à une réflexion sur le livre comme forme artistique qu'invite cette "Esthétique du Livre d'Artiste".
