Vandaag wordt Elisabeth Tonnards nieuwste boek en installatie One Swimming Pool getoond in de expositie ‘Ed Ruscha Books & Co’ bij de Gagosian Gallery in New York. Over One Swimming Pool schrijft Tonnard:

This book is a portable swimming pool that can be put on a bookshelf. It is based on Ed Ruscha’s book Nine Swimming Pools and a Broken Glass from which one swimming pool was photographed. If the sheets are carefully removed from the book and laid down next to each other, this swimming pool can be installed at the size of a small swimming pool. The book was bound using an adhesive that allows the sheets to be taken out. Doing so will of course destroy the book in its bound form.

Als je de onderstaande boeken dus uitvouwt…

….dan krijg je dit:

De Gagosian Gallery opent vandaag een expositie rondom het werk van boekkunstenaar Ed Ruscha. Aan de expositie werkten 100 hedendaagse kunstenaars mee die direct op het werk van Ruscha reageren.
