Revolver Publishing Boeken

"Suellen Rocca's publication, a facsimile of her own design prototype, comprises nine drawings she selected from her sketchbook. Completed while she was preparing for her exhibition at the Secession, these drawings show her weaving together visual elements from different stages of her long career to create an entirely new group of works. Among Rocca's subjects are renderings of her recently rediscovered dollhouse furniture, recalling her childhood, an early and frequent source of inspiration; a handbag, a key element of the personal iconography she developed in the 1960s from advertising and other pop-culture sources, and a ubiquitous presence in her work from that time; and imagery that she described as 'more internal' -- depictions of anonymous torsos, plants, birds, and other creatures -- that came to characterize her later paintings and drawings, beginning in the early 1980s. As Rocca made these drawings and conceived of her book's format, she was contemplating both the passing of time and time's cyclical aspect, the repetition of hours, days, and seasons that make up a life, prompting her decision to reproduce the drawings on both sides of a single continuous sheet of paper that can be arranged in a circle."--Secession website

Through the process of entirely intuitive drawing, suddenly a line or a shape may take on a meaning that can be developed. These drawings are in a way an archaeology of the unconscious mind. A way to make discoveries on paper that may be developed into paintings. Paul Klee famously spoke about "taking a line for a walk." I would take that further and say that for me it?s a record of travelling with a pencil. (Tess Jaray)00Exhibition: Secession Wien, Austria (19.02. - 18.04.2021)

Black Swan Uncharted" ? a book about what seems to not yet exist or is presumed impossible. In their artistic process Höhne & Gismarvik take this idea to investigate how something might come into existence or unveil itself. Through the means of painting, drawing, sculpting black swans, filming with an infrared camera or making use of clips from internet of black swan sightings alongside brief sections of news broadcasts, they set out to find something they were not looking for. Their artistic method is like solving a Wimmelbild puzzle, where they are making the pieces as they progress ? striving in search of the seemingly non-existent: the Black Swan
