From Nuit Blanche 2008, Toronto.
Conversation #2, 2008
Tom Bendtsen - Toronto, Canada
Installation
Tom Bendtsen's "Conversation #2" will consist of some 12,000 books configured as an oval measuring 4 metres in width and 4 metres high. A pixilated landscape image will be created from the colours of the books' spines facing the outside, the neutral/tan colour of the paper will be facing in.
Similar to the earlier work "Argument#4(b)" where the viewer enters the work, an entrance will be constructed in the wall of the piece. Once inside the dark interior of the structure, the viewer will discover small fungal plant-life. This element of the work will not be obvious at first, but will be available to those who take the time to investigate the interior, where they will discover spores, signifying that which is underground, hidden, and regenerating life.
Tom Bendtsen has built a number of works that feature books as physical metaphors of structure, identity and tools of defense and aggression.
Compare with the devil's books.
after a few practice books I am quite pleased with this. 2 Fold Books. This one I gave to Karen, who works so hard for Trinity Photography Group.

I made this book sculpture as a prototype for a paper craft workshop I'll be teaching at the Museum of Modern Art (MART), in Rovereto, Italy, next year...

This piece took a long time to come to be
I made a little bit at at time and then listened for what came next
The eternal sea. The seat to sit.
The words; the story we write
out of the stories already written
Protected in the book of She.
The story of you.

This picture is a little old. We have now (March 2015) raised $437,000 of our inflation-adjusted goal of $538,000, clearly justifying a 10-book stack. We'll add two or three more books when we reach the goal. What subject areas are missing and most need to be added?
You have your choice of several folded hearts, courtesy of Heather Eddy's free tutorials. Such a nice gift for someone special, wedding reception table decor, or just a great way to learn the art of book folding.

Joan Brossa 1919 - 1998, not only a post war writer, and acclaimed poet, he was a visual artist as well. Designed sets for plays, short film projects, but his true love was poetry, only writing in his native lnguage Catalan.
