INTRODUCTION:My presentation is based on the art practice of scrapbooking and some of the artist in the practice that I feel are relatable –
Scrapbooking is a method for preserving personal history in the form of a scrapbook. Typical memorabilia include photographs, printed media, and artwork. Scrapbook albums are often decorated and frequently contain extensive journaling.
William S. Burroughs & Brion Gysin, Untitled from “Scrapbook 3”

“She is sick, broke and alone. She has no studio, yet she
immerses herself in the city and its buildings, taking
pictures, collaging the images together in books.” - JENNIFER

“Her work is hard. It’s not pretty, not even easy to
describe or place, and not necessarily easy to “get.” - I want you to. She’s subject of
a major retrospective at MoMA, and I want you to fall in
love with her work which is ballsy and out-there and often a tumble of forms, sometimes
including rubbish, building debris and thrift- shop outfits.
-JENNIFER KABAT ON ISA GENZKEN Jwriter who lives between
London and ennifer Kabat (@jenkabat) is a the sticks, officially Upstate NY. She
writes about art, design – and sometimes life in the middle of nowhere. She’s written for
her small-circ local paper, New York Magazine, The
FT and The Guardian, contributes to Frieze and was
once an editor at the legendary style
magazine The Face in London
RELATION TO MY PRACTICE:All of these artists I have featured all use sophisticated scrapbooking to document their finds and works, this related back to my work because I am creating an altered book/diary that will feature photographs/polaroids, sketches, altered printed media, newspaper cuttings etc...
Also Isa Genzken’s work that I have featured was created at a line when she was completely alone and in a new city, with no money “She is sick, broke and alone. She has no studio, yet she immerses herself in the city and its buildings, taking pictures, collaging the images together in books.” as Jennifer Kabat puts it but yet she stayed fully engrossed in her work which relates to my work as my diary entry’s will be wrote after I’ve conditioned myself to feel alone and desperate, so that I can write in a first hand manner as if I was experiencing the post apocalypse personally.
