4 7/8 x 3 5/8 in. (12.5 x 9.1 cm)

Xiuquilla/Blue milk weed, 2017
9561-BK

19 5/8 x 19 5/8 in. (50 x 50 cm)

Hand sewn cotton leporello book, with screenprinting, in cloth box with colophon.
Published by Zucker Art Books, NY. Edition of 8 variants, with 2 AP.
This is copy number 3

Each book is handmade from repurposed fabrics the artist found in Mexico City. Camil’s interventions include cutting shapes common in cloth making such as sleeves, collars, torsos, and recombining them in a colorful array, hand sewn into a double sided sequence. She designed small buttonholes in between the panels so the work can be hung as a banner as well, choosing either side. This sort of interaction between the work and the viewer is a key element throughout Camil’s oeuvre, which even includes works to be worn or walked on.

Pia Camil (b. 1980) lives and works in Mexico City. She has a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Her work has been exhibited internationally, with recent solo-exhibitions including A Pot for a Latch, New Museum, New York (2016); Skins, Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati (2015); The Little Dog Laughed, Blum & Poe, Los Angeles (2014); and Cuadrado Negro, Basque Museum Centre for Contemporary Art, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain (2013).

Particular kinetic properties can be conferred on the object by movement on the part of the viewer.

Gewürtzfenster Spicewindow, 1971

61 3/4 x 30 3/4 x 2 3/4 in. (157 x 78 x 7 cm)

The work consists of five individual windows mounted side by side in a wooden frame, each hinged allowing both sides to be seen. The upper surface of each frame is fitted with a metal handle which can be opened and were used to fill the frames with spices or to smell them more intensly. Each of the five frames contains a variety of spices in ever-different layers, although in some cases a whole window is filled only with one spice. They produce a structure reminiscent of the strata of the earth, or of overlapping landscapes extending into the distance.

Sarkis
Blackout VII Italian, 1975
7992-OR

14 1/4 x 12 in. (36.5 x 30.5 cm)

Bronze plate and black plastic. Installation for the solo exhibition "Metal 2 BLACKOUT 7", Cenobio Visualita' Milan. Sarkis Zabunyan, known as Sarkis, was born in Istanbul in 1938. He is a Turkish-born Armenian conceptual artist living in France. His family moved from Sivas to Istanbul. Sarkis studied at the St. Michel French High School and got his degree from Mimar Sinan University. He decided to use his Christian name Sarkis in his professional artistic life, and moved to Paris in 1962 after winning the Paris Young Artists? Biennial Prize. One of the leading conceptual artists, Sarkis has returned to his native Turkey many times since the 1980s to exhibit his work. He has participated in the Istanbul Biennial. Since the 1970′s, Sarkis has used installation, photography, watercolor and video to bring together the legacies of art and cinema with the intellectual traditions of East and West. His art explores issues of presence and absence, place and identity, permanence and transience. Drawing on the mystical traditions of the East, he is particularly interested in the relationship between time and memory, and emphasizes the temporary nature of matter and experience. He was the curator of the last ever Fureya Koral exhibition when ceramic artist Koral was still alive. As a professor at Strasbourg Beaux Arts, Sarkis has trained young Turkish artists including Su Yücel and Serhat Kiraz. Sarkis′s exhibition, A Milestone, was curated by Ali Akay, (May 2005) at the Akbank Art Gallery in Istanbul. The gallery devoted all of its six floors to the Sarkis. Apart from Turkey and France, Sarkis has exhibited his work in over three dozen countries, including the USA, Germany, India, Australia, China, Japan, Mexico and Brazil. Sarkis′s motto is "Anılarım Vatanımdır" (My Memories are My Country).
