Proximities: Artists' Statements & Their Works
Edited by W.F. Garrett-Petts & Rachel Nash

Writing about art / writing as art. Two English literature academics investigate artists' statements in terms of their relationships to art and artistic practice. Believing that artist's statements represent an intriguing example of "literatures of lesser diffusion", they explore the intersection of the visual and the verbal in works that rely heavily on language. The artists themselves work with their own earlier statements in ways that annotate their original works, creating new work in the process. Their visual and verbal contributions broaden our understanding of the contexts informing the production of each work. Participating artists include Donald Lawrence, Jan Peacock, Brenda Pelkey and Sandra Semchuk.
