New York–based conceptual artist Allan McCollum has spent more than five decades exploring how objects acquire and shift meaning within a world of contradiction. Continuing this line of inquiry, “36 Perpetual Photos” focuses on framed paintings in movies. The publication unfolds as a sequence of screenshots (photographs taken directly from his TV) paired with 36 paintings, each reframed and enlarged by the artist until the image dissolves into grainy abstraction.


 


Conceived as an artist’s book, this simple yet sophisticated publication accompanied a comprehensive exhibition at the IVAM, Centre del Carme in Valencia, bringing together McCollum’s “Plastic Surrogates,” “Perfect Vehicles,” “Perpetual Photos,” “Individual Works,” and “Drawings”.
