DOUG AITKEN: A-Z Book (Fractals)
In this experimental volume on the work of artist Doug Aitken, the alphabet serves as an underlying organizational structure, a map that guides readers through the book's images and texts. Combining a selection of new and older artwork alongside diverse texts, this book juxtaposes seemingly unrelated elements, creating shifting relationships and patterns that emerge only with time. On the visual side, A - Z offers a selection of past work, new photography, images from recent video pieces (such as Interiors, New Ocean, and New Skin), and a new series of collages. On the verbal side are an essay by noted architecture and design scholar Michael Speaks, excerpts from a conversation between Aitken and curator Russell Ferguson, a short story by artist Philippe Parreno, a series of short entries written by Aitken, and excerpts from a conversation between Aitken and Dan Kish, a blind man working at the Braille Institute in Los Angeles, on echolocation.
