Monuments to the conquerors of space, 2017

1 Volumes
12 photographs on cloth-covered boards; boards formed into double leaves. "Monuments is an extension of a site-specific installation by the artist of the same name, constructed in Minneapolis, MN. All pages are handmade by the artist under a photgraphic enlarger and include unique gelatin silver prints on glossy, resin-coated paper and gelatin silver prints toned to form solid metallic silver from fused, celloidal silver grains.... This book is limited to 3 copies signed by the artist, and 2 artist print copies."--Back cover. "The images consist in black-and-white compositions imprinted on silver gelatin foundations. The geometric shapes derive from elements of dismantled photographic equipment. For brief moments, these machine parts are exposed to light in the dark room. The resulting black shapes are marks of those areas masked by equipment, while the white fields are those met directly by light. Rather than capturing any external scene, the forms are carried only by the technologies and processes involved in the making of photography"--Photographer's website.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
