Brian Dettmer Textonomy

In this exhibit, Dettmer continues his investigation of the book as both artifact and object- a kind of intersection of sculpture, information technology, poetic text and historical tract. Each separate work pursues and promotes its own philosophical, economic or political agenda while at the same time asserting its specific form, or sculptural reconfiguration. The books take on a life of their own- as an original, compelling means of presenting text or graphic elements.
