Delighting in the look and feel of books, conceptual artist Nina Katchadourian's playful photographic series proves that books' covers-or more specifically, their spines-can speak volumes. Over the past two decades, Katchadourian has perused libraries across the globe, selecting, stacking, and photographing groupings of two, three, four, or five books so that their titles can be read as sentences, creating whimsical narratives from the text found there. Thought-provoking, clever, and at times laugh-out-loud funny (one cluster of titles from the Akron Museum of Art's research library consists of: Primitive Art/Just Imagine/Picasso/Raised by Wolves ), Sorted Books is an enthralling collection of visual poems full of wry wit and bookish smarts.
New York-based artist Nina Katchadourian works with a wide range of media from sculpture and installation to photography, often exploring issues of mapping, translation and language. Her work has been exhibited at prestigious institutions across the globe, including PS1/MoMA, the Serpentine Gallery, New Langton Arts, Artists Space, SculptureCenter and the Palais de Tokyo. She is the recipient of numerous grants and awards and her work has been featured in publications internationally.
