The Artist's Book as Aesthetic Experiment: History and Poetics of a Hybrid Genre

研究项目的对象是从历时和共时的角度看艺术家的书，它具有多种形状和形式（如艺术家的书，雕塑书，书对象）。基本假设是，艺术家的书--一种交织文本、图片和书的物质形式的混合艺术形式--是在与文学密切而相互依存的关系中发展和繁荣的。因此，通过与文学史中的倾向和潮流、风格和其他现象的比较，可以使这种类型的历史及其内在的美学变得容易理解和理解。该项目旨在汇编一本手册或简编，（a）在一些综合性论文中从多个系统的角度将艺术家的书作为一种体裁来对待，（B）还将详细说明艺术家的书的大量形式和实例，这些形式和实例是该体裁特有的和代表性的。特别强调的是自我反思，书籍，媒体，语言和图片意识的特点的作品问题。一个语料库的选择范式艺术家的书籍被发现在广泛的收藏，特别是HAB Wolfenbüttel。

Object of the research project is the artist's book in its multiple shapes and forms (such as livre d'artiste, sculptural book, book object) seen from diachronic as well as synchronic perspectives. The basic hypothesis is that the artist's book - a hybrid form of art that interweaves texts, pictures, and the material form of the book - has developed and flourished in a close and interdependent relationship to literature. Hence, the history of the genre and its innate aesthetics are to be made accessible and comprehensible by means of comparison with tendencies and trends, styles, and other phenomena within the history of literature. The project aims at compiling a handbook or compendium that (a) approaches the artist's book as a genre from multiple systematic perspectives in a number of comprehensive treatises, and that will (b) also circumstantiate a larger number of forms and examples of the artist's book that are specific to and representative to the genre. Special emphasis lies on the self-reflective, book-, media-, language- and picture-aware character of the works in question. A corpus for the selection of paradigmatic artist's books is found in extensive collections, especially of the HAB Wolfenbüttel.
