Babel Collaborations

There have been about 17 participants in this collaboration so far, with just 3 sets outstanding, but mostly on their way.  They have been collated into three pocket books for the New Alexandrian Library and one set has gone to Japan for exhibition in December.  Each participant received 5 other altered copies of Babel.

Here are some of the USA collaborations received:

A collaboration between 3 American artists – Phillip Peterson, RCBz, Warren Smith and 3 South Africans Jeanette Gilks, Lesley Magwood Fraser and myself.  Process was intended as an investigation into each artist’s thoughts on the concept of process in their particular genre of work. These multiplicities of thoughts were distilled into a single sentence which provided the text of the book:

Phillip Peterson – Process, the successive steps necessary to produce.

RCBz – Process, for me, is the imposition of order on chaotic anxiety which has neither rhyme not reason – only urgency.

Warren Smith – The process, as shown here, are inkjet prints of digital manifestations of penciled lines.

Jeanette Gilks – The seamless process of the world we see utterly escapes the meanings attached to the words.

Lesley Magwood Fraser – Process is a procession.

Cheryl Penn – Process is all that is static and all that pulsates between a beginning and an ending.
