Fred Sandback: Threading Space Published by Walther König, Köln.
Edited with text by Lilian Tone. Text by Nuria Enguita, Delfim Sardo, Philip Ursprung, Joan Simon, Fred Sandback. Tracing Sandback's signature use of acrylic yarn to draw space itself, evoking presence through absence and architecture through line American artist Fred Sandback's (1943–2003) minimalist sculptural practice was singular in its consistent use of threads, wires and rods. These, he argued, were essential in delineating our "pedestrian space." Bringing together installations made between 1967 and 2003, Threading Space outlines the complexity of Sandback's deceptively simple oeuvre, as contextualized by his drawings, prints and writings. Designed by Filiep Tacq to reflect the subtlety and precision of Sandback's work, this bilingual (English/Portuguese) publication, edited by Lilian Tone, includes contributions by Nuria Enguita, Delfim Sardo, Philip Ursprung, Joan Simon and Sandback himself, as well as previously unpublished documentation.
