Ode
to a Grand Staircase (for four hands)
2001
Edition of 100
Collaboration with Julie Chen.
Divided into two halves with each side unfolding out to an elaborate
panorama, can be read by turning the pages of each half; letterpress
printed on Stonehenge paper using a combination of linoleum blocks,
hand set type, and photopolymer plates: 7¨ù x 6¨ö inches, opens to
7¨ù x 38 inches.
Special note: This elaborate interplay of text, images and structure
was a three-year project, in fact, a dialogue between Barbara Tetenbaum
and Julie Chen. Ms. Tetenbaum first printed something on each page
using linoleum blocks that was a response to the text. She left room
for Julie Chen to add more graphics that were introduced by Ms. Chen
using photopolymer plates. The story in this book comes from ¡°The
March of the Grand Staircase¡± composed by Erik Satie in 1914. |
