Judith Barry : For when all that was read was... so as not to be unknown

description

Poster by Judith Barry and explanatory pamphlet published in conjunction with dOCUMENTA (13) Kassel, Germany, held in 2012. Includes text by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, artistic director of dOCUMENTA (13). "'For when all that was read was... so as not to be unknown' is a guidebook to the 'Brain' section at dOCUMENTA (13) Kassel, Germany...the guidebook is printed as a poster and constructed into a three-dimensional object by the reader, simultaneously taking the form of a series of pages, an artist's book, and a sculpture... 'For when all that was read was... so as not to be unknown' derives from an investigation into the historical development of the book as a form - from early seals and emblems, to the codex as a contemporary form of storing knowledge. In its sculptural, three-dimensional form, the piece effectively performs the function of a book: acting as a cache of information, the construction conceals the poster texts within interior folds, presenting only its imagery of artworks as a multi-textured, modular cover." --pamphlet.
