BOOK

ARTISTS' POSTCARDS BY JEREMY COOPER

PUBLISHED BY REAKTION BOOKS, 27 January 2012


Over the last twenty years an increasing number of artists have turned to expressing themselves through postcards. Whether by way of installation, collage, addition to, or alteration of existing postcards, or the production of postcards themselves, many prominent artists employ the medium in some form. "Artists' Postcards" traces the origin of artists' fascination with postcards from the early 1900s but with a focus on the contemporary, revealing the significant number of artists who have made creative and unusual artworks in postcard form. With more than 400 images of postcards created by many well-known artists, "Artists' Postcards" is the first critical guide to the subject.

In the book of Genesis, Lot's Wife was transformed into a pillar of salt because of a moment of disobedience or lack of faith.  She lost her humanness but became immortal as a symbol.

Like Lot's Wife, the works in this exhibition have undergone a mysterious transformation.  Familiar objects and materials have been modified or misused but a hint of their former identity remains.  The results are startling, funny, poignant and unsettling.
