Working Models For/From Someone's Life
Rose Nolan
Published by the artist, Melbourne, 2022, unpaginated w. A3 poster insert, (colour & b/w ill.), 21 × 29.7 cm, English
Price: €32

Rose Nolan works across paint­ing, instal­la­tion, sculp­ture, pho­tog­ra­phy, prints and book pro­duc­tion. Her prac­tice reg­u­lar­ly oscil­lates between the dis­crete and the mon­u­men­tal and is informed by a strong inter­est in archi­tec­ture, inte­ri­or and graph­ic design—com­bin­ing for­mal con­cerns with the lega­cies of mod­ernism. Nolan’s prac­tice is known for its inves­ti­ga­tion of the for­mal and lin­guis­tic qual­i­ties of words, direct­ly using lan­guage to trans­form the archi­tec­tur­al space they inhab­it. By mak­ing language con­crete in this way mean­ing is allowed to be approached differently.

With a text by Ingrid Perez and photography by Christian Capurro. Designed by Rose Nolan and Warren Taylor. Edition of 100 hand-numbered and initialed by the artist.

Logogrifi
Ezio Gribaudo
Published by Marlborough Graphics Ltd, London, 1974, unpaginated (b/w ill.), 21 × 29.7 cm, English
Price: €22 (Out of stock)

“Inspired by logogriphs, riddle games consisting of forming a variety of words through combination and permutation of the letters of an initial word, Ezio Gribaudo’s Logogrifi belong to an equivocal, non-verbal realm, short-circuiting the image in its historical linearity. A repertoire of mnemonic white forms, sometimes textual, sometimes figurative, or topographic (even orographic), reveal the memory and the gravity of an enigmatic world.” From the press release of Ezio Gribaudo, Dizionario delle forme at Sans titre, Paris, France, 2016.
