Abstract: | As part of on-going research to take photographic documentation of a live art action and use this to create a new work that makes accessible the original action's concerns, 'Sollemne Enim est Bibliotheca' used images from my 2015 action "Book I am and Body is just another word for the Book" at Senate House Library as a starting point for a new work. Reflecting my interest in books and devotional activity in relationship to abstract thought, I have chosen to present the documentation of the event as a hand painted manuscript. I took inspiration from the medieval books of hours where the incorporation of lavish and often playful detail facilitated devotional prayer in the owner of the book. This work is to be reproduced as artist pages in Performance Research Vol 22, On Libraries, April 2017 |
