Known for its rigorous conceptualism and ambitious materiality, the work of Gordon Lebredt (1948-2011) is among North America's most challenging and gratifying. Alongside Lebredt's significant record of exhibitions, publications and interventions is a parallel body of unrealized work - a sprawling hypothetical topology of surfaces, abutments, expanses and disjunctions in which words, objects and images struggle to find and mark their place. This publication collects Lebredt's unrealized proposals from a thirty three-year period - a major retrospective of a body of work that exists only as possibility. Designed and typeset by Lebredt himself, the book contains more than 125 works presented as drawings, schematics and sketches rendered in pencil, ink, spray paint and type.
There are two kinds of grammarians, those who describe and those who prescribe. In the academic world, the prescribers are usually viewed as the conservative old guard. The descriptarians are usually seen as the activists, young bucks who believe the task of grammarians is to map or chart how speakers use their language and note its changes over time.
Sightlines is an architectural term meaning what you can see from where you stand - it's a question of perspective. This collection of images and words, gathered in conjunction with the international Sightlines symposium in Edmonton, Canada, in 1997, reveals the printmaker and the print from many angles. Including more than 250 color images representing more than 120 artists and a text by more than a dozen contributors, Sightlines opens up a rare view of contemporary printmaking around the world.
