| Artists’ Books Seminar 2 : Guy Begbie running time 22:31 Guy Begbie showed his artists’ books, talked about the possibilities of the book form, and how artists’ books can be taught as a subject across a range of courses. Guy is a multi-disciplinary artist who uses books and video as part of his overall practice. Through his practice he attempts to continually redefine the parameters of the book, making printed editioned artists' books, unique mixed-media books, sculptural book objects and site-specific bookworks. These are made to enable the viewer to engage with time-based elements, through the use of cryptic narrative, digital sound and moving image. Using traditional and unorthodox book structures, he attempts to record the ephemeral moment of a specific time and place. He presents digital stills in a filmic, frame-by-frame, book format. Working with public and domestic environments, he pairs painterly imagery and photographic documentation of specific sites with minimal, non-linear texts. back |
