As human beings we are all connected to the distant past and the far away future. Every existing thing is the result of something that happened in the past. Through the choices we make and made, we incorporate this past in the future, in a ever&nbsp;developing series of&nbsp;nows. Many envisioned futures however fail to ever materialise. The works invite the viewer to engage in the now. Invented stories are presented, that imagine our future reality based on current knowledge and experience and outdated technologies. It embraces presence to this moment, in the here and now, finding our way in troubled waters. Al-Busultan uses analogue film in installations and performances to create works of expanded cinema, in which continuously shifting site specific immersive environments are built up. The temporal experience of film is contrasted with film as a spatial structure. The films live in the moment of their projection. What remains are interpretations, reviews and recollections, personal, unreliable and incomplete. Al-Busultan (b. 1976, Al Khobar, Saudi-Arabia) is based in the area of Vaasa, Finland.She studied Fine Arts (BA) at AKI, Academy of Fine Arts in the Netherlands and completed an MA in Time//Space from the University of the Arts in Helsinki and from Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. She has been showing her works of expanded cinema internationally in exhibitions and festivals, such as Ann Arbor Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam and AAVE Festival Helsinki.&nbsp;Since 2009, she works and lives in Finland, where she founded the&nbsp;artist run&nbsp;filmlab Filmverkstaden. www.britt-al-busultan.com ︎@brittalbusultan Next Artist&nbsp;︎

Graham is interested in capturing a moment in time, between past, present and future. Questioning emotional and physical memory through material, with an aim to provide a central viewing point from which the viewer can gain their own perspective. Her work identifies and personifies thoughts, memories and emotion both constructed, fleeting, forced and repressed: a reinterpretation and revisualisation of pressing social and political issues such as segregation, barriers, identity and loss. Graham sees her work as a means to tell a story, to superimpose difficult symbology within playful narrative. &nbsp; Kathryn Graham (b. 1995, Armagh, Northern Ireland) lives and works in London.

For Henderson, collage is primarily about processing and responding to the world’s ever-increasing repository of images. It is digestion, a meditation, and a slowing down on one hand but it is also about (hand) making things and creating new meanings through editing and juxtaposition. The formal outcomes and meaning of a particular work or body of work vary widely depending on the source material, though the main strategy he employs usually begins with the removal/erasure/obfuscation of the subject. Through juxtaposing one element to another, the images make us rethink the significant of all familiar images. Henderson’s works appear estranged, otherworldly, in-between the possible and the impossible or unlikely, and in a space between real and simulated. By its nature, the collage becomes an interpretation—an expression of opinion. Most recently his work explores traditional pictorial elements with a focus on interior spaces and more direct narratives. Henderson (b. 1977, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) is an artist and graphic designer that lives and works in Toronto, Canada. He studied BFA in painting at the Alberta College of Art and Design. He has worked at several artist-run-centres and was the co-founder/creative director of an independent music festival for 9 years. He re-established a visual arts practice in 2014, working primarily in collage and has exhibited across Canada and participated in residencies internationally. www.oldernowthen.com ︎@oldernowthen ︎ Previous Artist Next Artist ︎ https://book-as-exhibition.org/bio-image_Richard-Ikhide Wed, 08 Apr 2020 17:17:03 +0000 Book as Exhibition https://book-as-exhibition.org/bio-image_Richard-Ikhide Richard Ayodeji Ikhide<img width="4113" height="4480" width_o="4113" height_o="4480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b490fa50891fcf09bc6e6ac3f8da749f9b38629fbee38a1627ca0abfaf1fe07f/Untitled-Microcosm-2--Watercolour-on-300GSM-Hotpress-Paper--31x34cm.jpg" data-mid="66196144" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b490fa50891fcf09bc6e6ac3f8da749f9b38629fbee38a1627ca0abfaf1fe07f/Untitled-Microcosm-2--Watercolour-on-300GSM-Hotpress-Paper--31x34cm.jpg" /><img width="4071" height="4614" width_o="4071" height_o="4614" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b802f8b95f590baf24f2785c0929652af56c254256fae8a7586db49eabd0034f/Untitled-Microcosm--Watercolour-on-300GSM-Hot-Press-Paper--31x34cm.jpg" data-mid="66196250" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b802f8b95f590baf24f2785c0929652af56c254256fae8a7586db49eabd0034f/Untitled-Microcosm--Watercolour-on-300GSM-Hot-Press-Paper--31x34cm.jpg" /><img width="4726" height="6282" width_o="4726" height_o="6282" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c5ead1083c0f75663f31556dbac204fec603db819a152fa6048fc8cdc953bd3c/Microcosm-2-28.5-X-38-CM-Acrylic-Ink-on-300GSM-Waterford.jpg" data-mid="66196275" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c5ead1083c0f75663f31556dbac204fec603db819a152fa6048fc8cdc953bd3c/Microcosm-2-28.5-X-38-CM-Acrylic-Ink-on-300GSM-Waterford.jpg" /><img width="4379" height="4391" width_o="4379" height_o="4391" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/23c64b9f5d2ae2bb586b73cf0633c91eee67621b481a05adf15c2d2ece03f23c/Obirin--Oil-Pastel-on-300GSM-Waterford-28x28cm.jpg" data-mid="66196288" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/23c64b9f5d2ae2bb586b73cf0633c91eee67621b481a05adf15c2d2ece03f23c/Obirin--Oil-Pastel-on-300GSM-Waterford-28x28cm.jpg" /><img width="4608" height="6201" width_o="4608" height_o="6201" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b813704362d4f67c137847f22aec94086fba9bd4054ffa6e144f65bd5ca2de95/Microcosm-1-28.5-X-38-CM-Acrylic-Ink-on-300GSM-Waterford.jpg" data-mid="66196294" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b813704362d4f67c137847f22aec94086fba9bd4054ffa6e144f65bd5ca2de95/Microcosm-1-28.5-X-38-CM-Acrylic-Ink-on-300GSM-Waterford.jpg" /><img width="4512" height="4461" width_o="4512" height_o="4461" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8e3651bd731e65cbdbd3af882c741d518d51dc1e882b8086c8eec2b0789da80d/Ronu-28-X-28CM-Oil-Pastel-on-300GSM-Waterford.jpg" data-mid="66196318" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8e3651bd731e65cbdbd3af882c741d518d51dc1e882b8086c8eec2b0789da80d/Ronu-28-X-28CM-Oil-Pastel-on-300GSM-Waterford.jpg" /><img width="2129" height="2500" width_o="2129" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e7bbc16341e272c320b276ab383fd03610da8e7e1b8f80dee7f499413b9f816f/Pade-Ile-2017-Watercolour---Acrylic-Ink-on-300GSM-Waterford.jpg" data-mid="66196321" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e7bbc16341e272c320b276ab383fd03610da8e7e1b8f80dee7f499413b9f816f/Pade-Ile-2017-Watercolour---Acrylic-Ink-on-300GSM-Waterford.jpg" /> Drawing as an every day and immediate medium with endless possibilities is fundamental to Ikhide’s practice. He explores the commonality between different ethnicities in society and how shared overarching principles through Mythology, in a time where we have instantaneous access to works from these different cultures via the Internet these common elements become more apparent and visible.

Rooted in painting, her works are primarily concerned with language as an imperfect communicative, emotive and representational tool. For her, growing up alongside the internet felt like living inside of an interactive cubist painting, where a multitude of viewpoints, time periods and vastly different subject matter are flattened and pushed right up against your immediate experience. Playing video games as the way you could toggle between two different viewpoints. Nielsen works are quite disorienting and holds both microscopic and macroscopic viewpoints together. Nielsen also combines text and landscape painting together a process of remixing she was influenced by the techniques of music producers such as Aphex Twin, Frank Zappa and Kanye West. Titles are often word scrambles, chosen for their assonant, emotive qualities and rendered abstract, or created with an online word generator. The bodies/figures in the paintings are also modular and customisable. Body parts are reduced to an outline, made transparent and penetrable, limbs are dissected and used as structural pillars, propping up the architecture of the painting, while others are turned into surreal, absurdist, anthropomorphic symbols. The physical choreography of the works’ installation extends and plays with this idea. Nielsen (b. 1991, London, UK) lives and works in London. She studied BA in Fine Arts at The Slade School of Fine Arts and completed an MA in painting from the Royal College of Art. Her first solo exhibition, Seer Kin Lives, took place at Jack Bell Gallery in London in 2016. She was in a two-person exhibition at Platform Southwark (London) in 2020. She has been involved in group exhibitions at Eastside Projects (Birmingham), The Hockney Gallery, Gallery 46, The Horse Hospital, Tripp Gallery, Matt’s Gallery, Limbo, The Peckham Experiment Building (London), Assembly House (Leeds) and Im Labor Gallery (Tokyo). India was awarded The Villiers-David Bursary, Royal College of Art (2017) and The Steer/Orpen/Charles Heath Clarke Bursary, The Slade School of Fine Art (2016).

Each painting is anchored by an interrogation of its conventions. Through paintings and installation, thurairajah’s work unsettles conventions in painting by addressing how histories can be recoded and inverted. The ways in which her works destabilize reality asks the audience to participate in a world that demands a self-conscious gaze. The goal of thurairajah’s work is to challenge assumed knowledge and to defy our assumptions as they relate to painting, its history and cultural knowledge. How are origin stories authored and who is left dis/possessed of power once they are written? These are questions thurairajah asks when examining how language can influence hierarchical representations within culture at large.&nbsp; thurairajah (b. 1986 Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) is currently based in Brooklyn, NY. She received a BA from Wilfrid Laurier University (2010) and a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (2014). She was a finalist in the RBC Canadian Painting Competition in 2016 and 2018 and received an Honourable Mention in 2018. She has taken part in recognized artist residencies such as Studio Residency at Interstate Projects in Brooklyn (2017), Fall Residency at Ox-Bow in Saugatuck, Michigan (2017) and 2D Banff Artist in Residence in Banff (2015).

An image has at least a shape at first, but one keeps repeating itself with a limited meaning until it loses its own values, becomes merely a shape that call upon a perplexity. In her practice Xiuching Tsay wants to reconnect with her intimate images by accessing their inner world through paintings, resurrect their essences and rediscover their hidden characters through an ecstatic quality of vision. Tsay’s practice engages with the concept of hallucinatory fluidity in order to unleash her own perceptions towards the unconscious objects. Fluidity like water has both symbolic and substantial qualities that unfold infinite visions. The power of water melts all the restricted meanings and the original characters of the images. Instead, it introduces different possibilities to interpret. Through the process of painting, Tsay follows relentless and unpredictable movement of water. Each water movement imply the mood of the image. Whirlpool movement for example, implies a confusion and an eternity as spiral water brings to the concept of unity. It’s spiral pattern that blurs the boundaries between the main figure and other elements, gives a painting an open-ended narrative. Tsay (b. 1993, Thailand) lives and works in Bangkok and London. She has studied BA Fashion Illustration at the London College of Fashion (2016) and recently completed a MA in painting at the Royal College of Art (2019). Her solo exhibitions include A Haze in their gaze at the Daniel Benjamin Gallery, London, UK (2019); Discovery of the ‘I’s at Ne’Na Contemporary Art Space, Chiangmai, Thailand (2018) and&nbsp; at 3331 Art Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan (2018).

No other exhibitions took place; thus, this was not a situation in which a book served as a catalogue. Instead, the book publication was the exhibition as it was record and site of the conceptual undertaking. The untitled work, commonly known as the [Xerox Book] (1968) ) included the works of seven artists: Carl Andre, Robert Barry, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, and Lawrence Weiner.

Bochner asked artist he liked (such as Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Sol LeWitt, Eva Hesse, Dan Graham, Jo Baer, Robert Moskowitz, Robert Smithson, Al Jensen, to name a few) for drawings that weren’t necessarily “work[s] of art.”1 [more] https://book-as-exhibition.org/Book-No-5-Culture-Chanel-2013 Fri, 17 Jul 2020 09:13:40 +0000 Book as Exhibition https://book-as-exhibition.org/Book-No-5-Culture-Chanel-2013 Book, No. 5 Culture Chanel, 2013 The Amsterdam-based designer Irma Boom has made some innovative books, and a staggering 20 percent have found a home in a permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Arts.1 Such books are truly an experience — objects to be appreciated — even when they are technically vehicles for other artists. Indeed, Boom pushes the boundaries of bookmaking. In 2013, she completed a book commissioned by Chanel for its Chanel No. 5 perfume. <img width="980" height="606" width_o="980" height_o="606" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/abcae33659f998edd35ba80cdba4bc65c85e132ffdb6acf08cffe65503276a9a/11_ChanelNo5B.jpg" data-mid="77622524" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/980/i/abcae33659f998edd35ba80cdba4bc65c85e132ffdb6acf08cffe65503276a9a/11_ChanelNo5B.jpg" /><img width="1008" height="743" width_o="1008" height_o="743" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b750c4240ad95cc23b488079162a1a0b966afa3c1ae34437a16080a13d829679/513fDEIyuIL.jpg" data-mid="77622538" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b750c4240ad95cc23b488079162a1a0b966afa3c1ae34437a16080a13d829679/513fDEIyuIL.jpg" /> <img width="710" height="1062" width_o="710" height_o="1062" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8c98988e5be3d69670a5660601940320d22cacdd2ee28deac47cb94f7168805b/Chanel_Schaduw-box-710px1.jpg" data-mid="77622598" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/710/i/8c98988e5be3d69670a5660601940320d22cacdd2ee28deac47cb94f7168805b/Chanel_Schaduw-box-710px1.jpg" /> The 300-page book has no ink—each of its crisp white pages is embossed with a drawing or quotation that helps Gabrielle Chanel’s story unfold.2 It is clean, understated and ephemeral, and somehow it remains totally engrossing. In a way, they are already like the books displayed in the vitrines at the Graphic Design Now in Production exhibition, where books and magazines are ephemeral and celebrated for their design. When Boom begins working on a book, she totally immerses herself in the subject. In this case, she spent time in Chanel’s Paris apartment and studied her life.3 Boom witnessed the bottling process and even joined the Chanel team as they picked roses in Grasse, a village in the Provenance region of France.4 There Boom generated her idea for the book.5 What she smelled there was intense and exciting, yet invisible. She had used embossing as the only source of printing by operating an old letterpress machine with the ink removed. <img width="1540" height="944" width_o="1540" height_o="944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ccad87e5eb815a25e45cf8fa34a10ce4904aeb2629fcb6bf45a217cf9e7b37ee/irmaboom_02.jpg" data-mid="77622610" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ccad87e5eb815a25e45cf8fa34a10ce4904aeb2629fcb6bf45a217cf9e7b37ee/irmaboom_02.jpg" /><img width="4000" height="2546" width_o="4000" height_o="2546" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b3a223abdb3f11f3948511226d439c32eeddc39d6af81470d74e65ab1ee2cfbf/IrmaBoom-Chanel-042-1.jpg" data-mid="77622611" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b3a223abdb3f11f3948511226d439c32eeddc39d6af81470d74e65ab1ee2cfbf/IrmaBoom-Chanel-042-1.jpg" /> Boom’s Chanel book is 5 cm thick, which is a nod to the perfume’s name, and she hand-drew each design. Irma Boom’s Chanel No. 5 Perfume book challenges the form of the book. I would argue that this book not only questions what text and image are by telling the story through embossed illustration, but also challenges the form of the book. Irma Boom (b. 1960 in Lochem, Gelderland, Netherlands), is a Dutch graphic designer—who specializes in book making. Boom has been described as ‘The Queen of Books’, having created over 300 books and is well reputed for her artistic autonomy within her field. Her bold experimental approach to her projects often challenges the convention of traditional books in both physical design and printed content. She lives and works in Amsterdam.
