Boeksculpturen van Adam Bateman

By on mei 29th, 2011

“Bateman’s work explores the relationship between language and objects, especially art objects. His study of language, as well as his interest in linguistic theory, prompted his creation of artworks that explore the ideas of object as language and language as object. For Bateman, language is made up of arbitrary symbols that have meaning when arranged in a certain way. His site-specific book sculpture in this exhibition is comprised of approximately 80,000 pounds of books — the equivalent weight of 30 to 40 cars — and resembles a geologic cross section of the Earth.”

    Dankjewel Roswitha.
    Er is geen nieuwsbrief, maar op de hoogt blijven gaat prima met een rss-reader.
