Collective Roadmap; ‘Without Shores, Without Boundaries’

book project, 2022, curated by María Verónica San Martín and Ignacio Szmulewicz

 
 

A contribution to the book project ‘Collective Roadmap/Hoja de Ruta Colectiva’ curated by artist María Verónica San Martín and art historian Ignacio Szmulewicz and printed with risograph by Calipso Press.  

This project addresses the questions “what does it mean to live together? How do we inhabit the future? The 15 artists and collectives carried out collaborative processes, inviting specialists, relatives, friends, acquaintances and strangers, to take the pulse of the present from the enormous possibility of imagining a different future.

Each of the 15 participating artists contributed a ‘one-sheet-book’. Printed on a single sheet of paper, through four folds and a cut, it is transformed into a book with a front cover, back cover and six inner pages, plus a full print on the reverse side when unfolded.

My contribution titled ‘Without Shores, Without Boundaries’ links the works and theory of Italo Calvino to that of Ted Nelson through the idea of the spiral as a form of interconnectedness.

Participating artists and groups are: Jessica Lynne (USA), Matías Celedón (Chile), Gruia Bădescu (Romania), Martín La Roche (Chile/ND), Alina Tenser (Ukraine/USA), A Ediciones, Eloísa Paz Prada (Bolivia ), Kurs Collective (Serbia), Eliana Perez (Colombia/USA), Lluís Alexandre Casanovas Blanco and David Cárdenas Lorenzo (Spain), Paula Baeza Pailamilla (Chile), Roya Amigh (Iran / USA), Estado Flotante (Chile), Camila Galaz (Australia/USA), Teobaldo Lagos Preller (Chile / Germany), Carola Josefa (Chile).
