Another One Bites the Dust!
Gabriela Salazar
The contemporary landscape is rife with ruins, from circumscribed tourist attractions to urban decay and demolition sites. When examined, our aesthetic experience of these sites ranges from historical distancing to the sublime and, when found in our local communities (e.g., Providence, RI), to discomfort, displacement, and horror. In particular, this paper is interested in how certain forms of demolition, from slow and messy to explosively dramatic, can be understood as compressed and heightened experiences of the traditional sublime ruin. Additionally, as contemporary artists often use the vernacular of the ruin in their work, this paper considers how three artists, Gordon Matta-Clark, Rachel Whiteread, and Robert Polidori, utilize established aesthetic categories of the ruin and destruction to create meaning and emotional power in their art.

Konglish
Jana Sim, Special Collections, and Fleet Library
28 unnumbered pages : color illustrations. Limited edition of 32 copies, signed and numbered by the artist. "This book is about the differences between how language is observed and interpreted. My focus is on three languages which are Korean, English and Konglish (Korean + English) ... There are short, humorous stories in each language that I have personally experienced based on the differences of the languages and how they function in different cultures ... Two laser cut volvelles ... have mixture of both Korean and English alphabets. The book will be very different depending on what language you are able to speak ... If you understand both languages, you will be able to compare the two sides, understand both sides of my stories"--Artist's statement at the 23 Sandy Gallery Booksellers' website, viewed on April 20, 2015. "'Konglish' is an artist book about living with two languages, by Jana Sim. Images and text were written, printed, and bound in this unique structure, a combining of two existing forms: the Drum Leaf and Dos-a-Dos, by the artist at Columbia College Chicago's Center for Book & Paper Arts 2010. The images and text were letterpress printed using polymer plates on Somerset white velvet, except for the images of Korean snacks, which were inkjet printed. The volvelles were laser cut on Canford Royal Blue paper and Grafix Clear-Lay Red acetate"--Colophon. Letterpress printed in black, red, and blue, with Korean and English text alternately blind-impressed without ink. Issued in a three-panel purple cloth over boards wrapper with string and button closure and the artist's name debossed on the lower right panel. English and Korean.
