OA05
レジデンス11ヶ月と2日目
ライクス紹介強化月間、OA編、No.5はドイツ人アーティスト、Tine Melzerちゃんです。彼女の仕事は
ドローイングと本/アルファベットと本/アルファベットとWords/の3本を柱に、主に本の制作、ポスターの制作、コラボレーションで作詞を手がけるなど、いろいろやっています。おもしろいです(ライクスではプリントワークショップで製本技術を学ぶこともできます)。本とアルファベットとWords、それぞれのフォーマット、またはその組み合わせを分解し、もう一度組み合わせることで(意味を持たせるために組み合わせるのではなく、組み合わせと意味の間にある隙間を見せるためにやっている)、言葉の意味や内容を中抜きにし、その構造そのものの存在を見せていくような仕事をしています。

December 20, 2005 10:59 AM[写真 上から] 「They say」というタイトルの本。「she says」と「he says」の文字で構成されている。 「They say」というタイトルの本。「she says」と「he says」の文字で構成されている。 「The complete dictionary」アルファベット26文字を、26の26乗で組み合わせて作った辞書。 本の展示の隣の部屋では「When in doubt・・・(不確かなときは)」に続く動作の単語をスライドプロジェクション。ほんとは画面は一つ(写真は紹介用に作った画面)でページをめくるように1秒づつ位で画面が変わる。 そもそもはじめは、大きなB全ぐらいの紙に緑色のマジックペンで4,5cmくらいの線を描いて埋めていく、というドローイングをつくった後、それが気に入らなかったのでその紙を小さく切って本にしたらなんだか気に入った、というのが本の制作を始めたきっかけだそうです。
A book titled ‘They Say.’ The book consists of two sentences: ‘she says’ and ‘he says.’ ‘The Complete Dictionary’: this book contains all the words that can be formed with 26 letters of alphabet (26 to the 26th power). Next to the room of ‘books,’ she had another room with a slide projection titled ‘When in Doubt…’ (this clause is followed by various sentences). This image is taken from the catalogue; in the actual presentation, the slide changes every second as if we turn the page of a book. This work was originally a drawing on B-size paper. Using a green pen, she filled the paper with lines of about 4-5 cm. As she was not quite satisfied with what she’d done, she cut the paper into smaller pieces and made it into a book. Then she was happy with

This is a special month for OA reports -- OA report#5 is on an artist from Germany, Tine Melzer. Her works usually engage with the combinations of two things such as: drawings and books, words and books, alphabet and words. She does many things; she makes books, posters, writes the lyrics as collaboration etc. – very interesting works (Rijks has a print workshop where you can learn the craft of bookbinding). Book, words, letters of alphabet – by breaking down the system that each format relies on and by re-creating new systems, she tries to visualize the gap between the system and the meaning given by the system. She gives each format a new system, but not in order to give it a meaning. What she does is to annihilates the meaning of words or sentences, so that we will be able to realize the fact that these were organized by a system or a structure.
