Group show
19 January - 19 February
Stephen Bury takes Roman Jakobson’s seminal essay of 1956, ‘Two types of language and two types of aphasic disturbance’, as the starting point
for this exploration of artists’ books and artists’ multiples, mostly from the collections of Chelsea College of Art & Design Library. The exhibition explores how contiguity and narrative operate in artists’ books and multiples, how putting text next to image, image next to image, text next to text, reversing the function of text and image, generates narrative or subverts expectations of narrative.
Exhibiting Artists: John Baldessari, Fiona Banner, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joseph Beuys, Christian Boltanski, Victor Burgin, Neil Cummings and Marisya Lewandowska, Layla Curtis, Douglas Huebler, Kenny Hunter, Anselm Kiefer, Sol LeWitt, Peter Liversidge, Aleksandra Mir, Dieter Roth, Leanne Shapton, Jane Simpson, Sarah Staton, Daniel Spoerri, and Yoko Terauchi
