Thesis, part of collected works (supervised by Paul Elliman)

This publication is part of the Publications Project, a collection of artist books issued by the Dutch Art Institute and designed in collaboration with the Werkplaats Typografie.

Each year Werkplaats Typografie organises its own Best Book selection. Every participant chooses a book that is important for him in that year. The project is supervised by a guest tutor. This year artist Joëlle Tuerlinckx directed a series of acts in which the participants became their most significant book.
Beginning in the Werkplaats Typografie library, the ensemble relocated to Netwerk Art Center, Aalst in Belgium, gradually utilising costume, props, light and sound to create a theatre of the best books. Despite being amateur thespians, the theatre was a serious attempt to assume a character based on the interpretation of a book. Perhaps one can be lead to a new reading of each significant book, an experience that is both insightful and bewildering.

DAI publication Lado Darakhvelidze. This artist publication presents the idea of artists as ideal media makers. By showing artworks about political and social conflicts, museums and biennals provide access to information which is usually not disclosed in mass media. Museum TV Station promotes the idea of art spaces as ideal media stations, providing open access to information which is usually not disclosed in mass media. For the publication we invited ten artists (Lidwien van de Ven, Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Haejun Jo a.o.) to present an exemplary art project which took a stand on political, economic and social issues. Following the logic of the title, I designed an alternative TV guide by pasting the new material over an existing issue of the publication TVFilm.
