BOOKWORK: MEDIUM TO OBJECT TO CONCEPT TO ART

BY GARRETT STEWART, University of Chicago Press

“There they rest, inert, impertinent, in gallery space—those book forms either imitated or mutilated, replicas of reading matter or its vestiges. Strange, after its long and robust career, for the book to take early retirement in a museum, not as rare manuscript but as functionless sculpture. Readymade or constructed, such book shapes are canceled as text when deposited as gallery objects, shut off from their normal reading when not, in some yet more drastic way, dismembered or reassembled.” So begins Bookwork, which follows our passion for books to its logical extreme in artists who employ found or simulated books as a sculptural medium. Investigating the conceptual labor behind this proliferating international art practice, Garrett Stewart looks at hundreds of book-like objects, alone or as part of gallery installations, in this original account of works that force attention upon a book’s material identity and cultural resonance.

Less an inquiry into the artist’s book than an exploration of the book form’s contemporary objecthood, Stewart’s interdisciplinary approach traces the lineage of these aggressive artifacts from the 1919 Unhappy Readymade of Marcel Duchamp down to the current crisis of paper-based media in the digital era. Bookwork surveys and illustrates a stunning variety of appropriated and fabricated books alike, ranging from hacksawed discards to the giant lead folios of Anselm Kiefer. The unreadable books Stewart engages with in this timely study are found, again and again, to generate graphic metaphors for the textual experience they preclude, becoming in this sense legible after all.

2011 KOREA INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR

22 SEPTEMBER – 26 SEPTEMBER 2011

KIAF is the second largest art fair in Asia. 2011 brings 19 Australian galleries to the art fair in Seoul, as a project of the Year of Friendship between Australia and South Korea. Victoria’s exhibition, titled Shift, is a series of paintings of stacks of various magazines, exploring the potential shift in the nature of how books and magazines are presented to us, from the physical to the digital, along with considering the motivations behind the collecting impulse and people’s love of these objects. Shift acts as a monument to the magazines that live temporarily scattered around our homes, to be kept and collected or replaced with newer versions of themselves…Stay tuned for more information or visit the KIAF website here.

2010 STAN AND MAUREEN DUKE ART PRIZE

Gold Coast City Art Gallery

14 DECEMBER – 6 FEBRUARY 2011

The Stan and Maureen Duke Art Prize is an acquisitive art award and exhibition held annually at the Gold Coast City Art Gallery. This years judge was Geoffrey Cassidy, Director of Artbank, the largest buyer of Australian contemporary art in the country. Total prize and acquisitions of $30,000 were awarded on Saturday December 4th, with Victoria’s painting Last Days being acquired for the collection. Judge, Geoffrey Cassidy said of Victoria’s work, ‘Victoria Reichelt’s stacks of books are more than they seem. In precarious piles with doomsday titles, they foretell their own obsolescence. The painting delights with its technical ability while impressing with its conceptual strength and its humour’..

Victoria’s work is featured in the article THE PAINTED BOOK by Peter Terzian for American Print magazine.

The article also features artists Richard Baker (US), Simon Morley (UK), Duncan Hannah (US), Leanne Shapton (US), Harland Miller (UK) & RoulaPartheniou (Canada).

“Lately, a handful of well-read visual artists have turned to book design – specifically, the classic covers of the 20th century – as a source of raw material and inspiration..

..Melbourne artist Victoria Reichelt says that her paintings—of books in piles or on shelves, arranged neatly or in a jumble—present a paradox. “In a painting, books serve a very different purpose from their intended function. They are purely objects like any others, with histories and narratives of their own, quite separate from the text inside them.” Still, she says, the viewer is drawn into the painting through his or her affinity with titles, author’s names, and illustrations.

Reichelt’s earliest book paintings are of tattered vintage editions. Represented singly or in arrangements of four or five against pristine white backgrounds, they emphasize the books’ history and fragility. More recently, her paintings of shelves packed cheek-by-jowl with volumes pitched at precarious angles draw attention to our ambivalent relationship with the physical book. (“I listen to a lot of audiobooks,” she admits, “as I can do this while I paint.”) For her 2008 exhibition “Bibliomania,” she made oil-on-linen “portraits” of fellow Australian artists by painting their personal libraries. Each collection, she says, reveals the artist’s interests and inspirations. For her latest project, Reichelt has pushed the book toward pure abstraction. Last fall, she exhibited a series of bookcase paintings modeled on Piet Mondrian’s networks of primary color; each shelf is filled with books that share the same color spine. “The titles and what they represent are no longer the focus,” she explains; “rather, they act as structural tools in a bigger picture..”

SPECTRUM

Dianne Tanzer Gallery

21 NOVEMBER – 19 DECEMBER

Opening, Saturday NOVEMBER 21st, 3 – 5pm

The exhibition Spectrum consists of a series of bookshelf paintings that sit together in a line to form a colour spectrum installation. The shapes of the shelves are modeled on Piet Mondrian’s painting from the 1920′s/30s (a series of works comprising of black lines with occasional blocks of colour, forming simple grid shapes). The paintings have the appearance of a Minimalist installation from a distance, yet function as more literal ‘realist paintings’ when viewed close up, playing with the detailed nature of the objects as they contrast with the sparse vocabulary of Minimalism. The books are disparate groups connected only by their spine colours – using them in this way echoes Minimalist concerns of form over content, whereby the books are stripped of their literary significance and reduced simply to colours. In these works, the books highlight the repetition of geometric forms through a colour spectrum, thus the titles and what they represent are no longer the focus, rather they act as structural tools in a bigger picture.

Focus , Dianne Tanzer Gallery, Melbourne.

14 APRIL – 12 MAY 2007

For the exhibition Focus, I am making paintings of antique cameras and film equipment set against stark black and white backgrounds. I am painting cameras, which with the invention of photography were once perceived as a threat to the medium of painting. The cameras I am using however, are antiques and have themselves been made redundant, superseded by new technologies and relegated to the realm of beautiful collector’s items. In drawing painting and photography together in this way, these works set out to explore the ongoing tension between the two media and the ever-changing balance of power between the two ways of making images.
