Exercises in Delicacy
Irene Peixoto
2021
The three poetic-object-books in this series were created from discarded physical and digital materials related to old art projects. When these discarded materials were found again during the pandemic's lockdown phases, in efforts to clean-up the artist's studio—that is, outside the context that engendered them—the inoperative poetics of the images and the possibility of new readings were revealed.
Recycling materials means finding them strange, casting a lingering gaze over them like someone viewing them for the first time. An art project is never recreated; rather, it is always an expression of something that did not exist before.
These books are part of my investigations into the boundaries between art and design. Through them, I explore the meanings of forms and reiterate the importance of coordinating contemporary design with other areas of creative thought so that, more than just aestheticize and functionalize the world, we can revolutionize it.
