About this work

Also known as

Exhibits, artefacts, images and stories from On Innards.

Description

"Lee, Couch and Hladky begin by ruminating on their panel and three-way conversation, presented at the second international Interdisciplinary conference, Body Horror, in Athens, in 2013. Their reflections on the project, joined by Nash's are interwoven with recalled events, artefacts, images, and stories from the conference panel, and the On Innards, Exhibition and Event of 2014, which includes contributions by Carlo Comanducci, Giskin Day, Dr. Simon Gabe, Kerry Gallagher, Nathaniel Storey, and Jamie Sutcliffe and Jenny Pengilly. Curated and intervened by Nash, the book becomes an embodiment of digestion, its intestinal form, a multitude of folds; concertinas, fold-outs, pop-ups, gate-folds, roll-folds and reveals, held by a mesenteric binding, which, when unwound, allows the book to be opened further, unfolding to reveal hidden ideas, images and text [...] Cut, folded, bound and finished by hand."--From artist's website. http://www.amandacouch.co.uk/on-innards-publication/4590436518

Notes

"On Innards is a multidisciplinary project developed by artists, Amanda Couch, Andrew Hladky, and Mindy Lee, that explores changing conceptualisations of guts and digestion, their impact on the creative process and the role they play in constructing and destabilising our sense of self. Working in collaboration with bookwork artist and designer Richard Nash, the record of this two year project has been dissected, reinterpreted and reconnected in the form of this publication"--Colophon.
"Produced in conjunction with an exhibition held at The Blyth Gallery, a part of the Blyth Music and Arts Centre, Imperial College London, 8 October - 7 November 2014."--Colophon.
"As part of preparing for an exhibition, Mindy Lee, Amanda Couch and Andrew Hladky had been meeting regularly to discuss their artistic practice and shared interest in guts. At the 'Body Horror 2' international interdisciplinary conference in Athens, in November 2013, they presented the beginnings of the project"--Colophon.
Includes facsimiles of 'Reflection on digestion' and 'Entrail troyen'.
