Wade Guyton
2013
Cologne: Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König
Unpaginated [128 pages]
26.3 × 19 cm

In his intricate publications, post-conceptual artist Wade Guyton expands his pictorial investigations into forms of appropriation and variation. Created in conjunction with his exhibition at the Kunsthalle Zurich, this artist’s book presents his practice across sixty double-page spreads.


 


The book offers a visual account of Guyton’s working methods, which frequently involve reconfiguring existing images and torn pages sourced from books, art magazines, and other printed matter. The dense accumulation of photographs and reproductions that appears at the beginning of the book gradually diminishes as the pages unfold, revealing the artist’s logic of selection and editing. Guyton makes visible the origins of his motifs and the decisions behind their formats, allowing the reader to trace the relationship between source material and the transformed image.


 


Like his paintings, the book investigates the interconnected processes of production, reproduction, and appropriation while offering an insightful reflection on the material conditions of contemporary image-making.
