There is a reason for making byte size books of the vademecum sort. It’s the result of too many ideas in constantdisarray, endlessly knocking and needing to be given form.Form? Ideas persuading the metaphysical dimension to openup and fold themselves into the pages of a book. Encyclopediashave been around for about 2000 years – still in existence isNaturalis Historia written about AD77 by Pliny the elder.Encyclopedias are tomes of articles and subjects on any andevery topic of accumulated, verifiable knowledge. They differto dictionaries in that a linguistic, alphabetical listing of wordsis limiting. This form of classification may leave the meaningseeker lacking in contextualized understanding andassociation.But this encyclopedia is different.Here, when a volume discusses printing, one can run fingersdown the impressions left by the printing press, and touch theunevenness of ink. Or, a book on artists’ stamps has samples ofthese intimate artworks, gathered from around the world.Therefore, the curious thing with this particular collection isthe way information is presented, the change information hasundergone in the hands of an artist. It presents in real time,an original artifact; how artists and writers interpret andintimately engage with facts – a demonstration of how artiststhink and decode subject matter in their own unique ways.And, this installation continually proves to be an area ripe forartistic collaboration - a body of work made possible throughworld wide collective adventure.
