Curated Table #008: Appropriation

When we first became interested in the field of artists’ publications, one of the aspects that most caught our attention was the vast world of works that are constructed from pre-existing content or that re-signify found objects.

In Curated Table #008, dedicated to Appropriations, we will look at different publications that are articulated through processes of translation, assembly and re-signification of different elements: A page that lingers in the memory, a legendary publication, a group of memories collected from a trash can, documents of a country’s history and printed objects of everyday life are mixed in this interesting selection.
