Abstract

ONE AND THREE BOOKS Two projects in one, “One and Three Books” is a curatorial project that is the outcome of an ongoing research/pedagogical project; both the curatorial project and the research project are led by Danne Ojeda. Their purpose is to analyze the relationship between the book as a concept and the book as an object of communication. Inspired by Joseph Kosuth’s artwork “One and Three Chairs,” the curatorial and research projects are seen as a conceptual proposition that investigates the definition of a book while exploring the book’s form as an object throughout the book’s production process. As an ongoing research/pedagogical project, “One and Three Books” is currently being developed within the curriculum of the Editorial Design tutorial course—a course that is offered to senior students at the School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore since 2009. //////////////////////////////////////////////// UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM.
