About this item:
Take Place "The artists' book, ""take place,"" responds to the notion of land as both physical place and metaphorical space. Throughout history humans have left their mark on the land through conquest, domination, division, and border, evolving into what is now a global climate crisis. This book uses land and geography as a metaphor for loss, and a sense of longing; the human capacity for story continues to unfold. ""[T]ake place"" incorporates letterpress printed text fragments from the writings of Rebecca Solnit with a quote from the artist Julie Mehretu. These are companioned with rubbings of words and textures in ways that evoke traces of memory and movement. Edition of 5 on Kozo paper.
