“the Artists in their Own Words”
(School project)

For this assignment we had to make an addendum to go with the gagarin-magazine. The extra “book” had to have the given texts placed in creatively in accordance to their content; contain one given picture of a work made by the three given artists (Peter Zumthor, Tadashi Kawamata & Rachel Whiteread) & lastly an own interpretation of each of the artist’s work.
For “Die Feldkapelle” by Peter Zumthor, i made rubbings of wood structures, referring to the inside texture of the artwork. Tadashi Kawabata works with wooden beams & planks to make his sculptures, i tried my own hand at it with wood shavings. Rachel Whiteread, lastly, works with negative spaces; for this interpretation i made a linocut which is also a negative cut of the image.

Originally these pages where made in to a genuine booklet, but after consulting my instructor, i decided to make A2 posters out these, as they worked beter with the lay-out.
