About this Item
B : 4.25×7 in, 406 pages, black and white Edition of 2048, No 1521, signed - Somewhere between conceptual text-based art, structural poetry, and inspired by linguistic studies of globalized commodity-based trading languages in antiquity, exists this experimental project: an attempt to convey a sense of narrative within such language. That it fails to do this in any conventional sense of narrative is a feature of its deconstruction of consumerist language, and relating more directly to what has been termed social commentary and observation (Paper Radio, Melbourne), while being disguised as a poetic exploration of emergent linguistic systems of globalised trade. The shifting dynamic between the linguistic and the discursive, between the material effects of language and the meanings it subtends, makes this work both visually unconventional and semantically compelling.
