Discussion: Does the Artist Book help democratise the visual arts?
Convened
by Floating World at the exhibition Unfolding
the Archive
at the F.E. McWilliam Gallery and Studio
The conversation was held in a round table format and participants were invited to make recordings on the paper tablecloth. What follows are tracings of that discussion...
The
Artist’s Book in the digital age > audience reach > tactile
and more unique (the paper book) Versus ‘virtual / digital’ (more
widely distributed and easily accessed)….. (democratisation)
artists books are interactive and affordable….. digital access
democratises….. If I’m not part of the digital world, do I still
exist? ….. Remoteness is reinforced through language… the gallery
is always going to be associated with permissions/authority.....
Challenge for artists to be sophisticated with humour and not be
trivialised….. handling the artist book. Relating to it more.
Touch>Sight….. To hold is to possess – if only temporary…..
the Art World is a scary place. It frightens me at times...still…..
I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like… And I know I
don’t like art….. working towards aspirations…
