Most often, they respond to the concrete contemporary reality of larger systemsspecific urban infrastructures, architectural styles, museum collectionsas these guide how we exist together in space and history.??http://ashkilmartin.net/

Gill Partington?has a Ph.D from the University of London and an MA from the University of Warwick.?Artist statement: My work investigates, from various angles, the meanings of the material page in the digital era. Although primarily an academic and theorist, my research has become increasingly practicebased, involving printmaking and bookwork. I operate at a disciplinary crossing point of literary studies, art and cultural theory, and focus on the artists book as part of an investigation into the wider history and ontology of the book, its various forms, its uses and abuses. I approach the artists book not as a fixed category, therefore, but as a set of questions, and a means to interrogate the conceptual and material parameters of the book.
Lucia Gaaparovi
ov??was born 1984 in }ilina, Slovakia, and lives and works in Bratislava.?Artist statement: In my?artistic work?I find it important to get to know a variety of environments. I work with the topic of scale and size and their relationships with observers, users, and also the environment that surrounds them. I am searching for interactions between objects, installation and spectators. I try to set up the description of the borders of interdisciplinary.?Interdisciplinarity from which a new authentic work arises, is essential for me. I work with the theme of material and emotional value of the object. Often I have appropriated elements of daily use, which I rework in precious materials and thereby alter their character, while watching the newly acquired relationship between object and user.?https://www.works.io/lucia-gasparovicova
Mari Anniina Mathlin was born 1980 in Pattijoki in Finland. Artist statement: I work with installations, paper reliefs, drawing, assemblages and artist books.?When working with artist books I?m interested in exploring the different ways how story, idea or mood can be mediated through the paper and pages of a book. How a single color or a scratch or pattern of crumbled paper can stand for a text or a sentence. Will it still be a book that someone can read? I am interested in how time and the movement of turning pages can be involved into the moment we look artist books and all the possibilities that these concepts can offer to the creative process of artist book making.
