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.
