TRACKING GROUNDWORK: Making the Process Legible
AMY TRACHTENBERG and her project GROUNDWORK
1680 Market Street @ Gough San Francisco
Alex de Campi writes about her new sequential project, Valentine, over at Bleeding Cool.
Why "sequential project" and not the more common terms "graphic novel" or "comic book"? Only because the project lacks a binding for now, so it seems silly to talk about a book. I am also puzzled by the term "graphic novel" in that it tries to legitimize through literary means a form that does not need to be so.
Oh, and I am one of the translators Alex is mentioning in the article.

AMY TRACHTENBERG and her project GROUNDWORK
With a series of notebook sketches, models and photographic source materials, the book Groundwork details San Francisco-based artist Amy Trachtenberg's process for her award-winning public art project Groundwork, at the new San Jose Public Library. The book contains essays by writers Rebecca Solnit and Mary Burger, Solnit offering a meditation on the associations of library, language, forest; and Burger interpreting Groundwork in the tradition of public artworks commemoration of labor history. Amy Trachtenberg will discuss the process of conceptualizing a permanent public artwork and making it legible to the viewer and reader through a publication.
