A propos de cet article

pp. (70), including 30 blank pages and 40 xeroxed pages. A xeroxed artist book documenting the construction of one of Alan Saret?s most notable habitable sculptures, the Ghosthouse. The project, executed at the Lewiston, NY Artpark in 1975, was Saret?s attempt to align his interest in architecture and sculpture by exploring the possibilities of developing malleable, light-weight architectural systems. He was specifically concerned with the problem of shelter as a basic material need of human life, and aesthetic questions became inseparable from social and ecological ones. Saret worked with a variety of common, flexible materials which he manipulated for specific locations. Dominant among these materials are various forms of wire, particularly galvanised farm and chicken wire.The wigwam-style Ghosthouse was a large, hand-formed architectural structure made exclusively of wire-mesh which the artist inhabited for several months. Its name was derived, in part, from the fact that structure is more absent than present, made using non-rigid, flexible substances, approximating an almost organic translucent form. The first 32 pages of this book illustrate construction of the Ghosthouse, using xeroxed images of photographs, some with descriptive text, as well as xeroxed reproductions of artist drawings. The remainder of the book is a reprint of an article on the Ghosthouse first published in issue 11-12 of Art-Rite magazine (Winter/Spring 1975/76). This copy still in the padded mailing envelope which Saret used for posting - it was mailed to Ira Licht, then Director of the Lowe Art Museum in Coral Gables, Florida. [Rare. Only two copies located on WorldCat, at MoMA NY and at Seattle Art Museum]. Original card wrappers with xeroxed front cover. White plastic comb binding.…
