<\/a><\/p>\nTraversals.\u00a0 Anna-Sophie Springer \/ K.Verlag Press<\/em><\/p>\n TRAVERSALS is based on a series of conceptual interviews with Dora Garcia, Chris Kraus, Mark von Schlegell, Charles Stankievech, and Jacob Wren originally produced for an installation in an art gallery. As a re-issue of these texts the forthcoming publication continues K.’s interest in the book-as-exhibition. Each invited contributor has found a unique way to explore the hybrid spaces between genres and art forms, and the discussions focus especially on the role and relationship between visual art and writing. While the interview process was rather formalised\u2013\u2013with one set of five identical questions posed to each person in the first round, and then five individual questions asked in a second round in response to the first five answers\u2013\u2013the texts themselves delight through a personal tone and a great openness for both idiosyncratic trajectories and unexpected trasversals between the five different chapters.<\/p>\n The material was originally produced for the piece TRAVERSALS (With Ladder) shown in the exhibition 5x5Castell\u00f32011 at Espai d\u2019Art Contemporani de Castell\u00f3, Castell\u00f3, Spain (8 July \u2013 18 September 2011).<\/p>\n On the occasion of 5×5 the interviews were pinned to the wall in a grid while a sliding library ladder allowed for a playfully embodied reading experience. The spatialised format revealed the parallels in the conversations as well as their differences \u2013 particularly as the conversations evolve.<\/p>\n \u20ac 16.00<\/p>\n
