In the field of the publishing industry, its appreciation is growing and it has already conquered a right of citizenship, as witnessed in a remarkable way since 1981 by the space reserved for the Artist&#8217;s Book at the Frankfurt Fair.<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"one withsmallpadding ppb_text\" style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\">\n<div class=\"standard_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"page_content_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<div style=\"margin:auto;width:100%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"obra-lda\" class=\"one withsmallpadding ppb_header \" style=\"text-align:left;padding:5px 0 5px 0;\">\n<div class=\"standard_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"page_content_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<div style=\"margin:auto;width:100%\">\n<h2 class=\"ppb_title\" style=\"\">Myths of Creation<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"one withsmallpadding ppb_text\" style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\">\n<div class=\"standard_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"page_content_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<div style=\"margin:auto;width:100%\">\n<div class=\"two_third \" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"slider_wrapper\" data-autoplay=\"\" data-timer=\"5\">\n<div class=\"flexslider tg_gallery \" data-height=\"750\">\n<ul class=\"slides\">\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2.Mitos-de-Creacion-g.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.Mitos-de-Creacion-g.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/3.Mitos-de-creacion-g.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one_third last \" style=\"\">\n<h8><strong>Myths of Creation<\/strong> is an edition of Alvaro Castagnino Art Gallery of Buenos Aires and Arte Dos Gr\u00e1fico of Bogot\u00e1, Colombia.

The Journey<\/em> is an artist&#8217;s book born from a long, silent conversation between visual artist Matilde Mar\u00edn and the work and figure of Kasimir Malevich. The artist reconstructs an imaginary connection with the master of Suprematism, guided by an affinity that transcends time and matter. Based on personal journeys through different cities around the world, the photographs capture fragments of light, shadow, and geometry that dialogue with that radical and essential language that Malevich proposed as a path toward pure sensibility.<\/p>\n<p>Following a long history of creating and theorizing about the artist&#8217;s book, Mar\u00edn crafts these copies by hand, with hand-binding, handmade papers, and an intimate imprint on each page. She does not seek to quote or reproduce Malevich&#8217;s work, but rather to make it resonate in her own territory. Each book is unique and functions as a way station, a fold of memory that honors the ethical and aesthetic gesture of an artist who never betrayed his language. Here, in this silent search, the possibility of an art that, from the minimal and essential, can speak to the entire world is also affirmed.<\/p>\n<p><\/h8>\n<\/div>\n<p><br class=\"clear\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"one withsmallpadding ppb_text\" style=\"padding:20px 0 20px 0;\">\n<div class=\"standard_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"page_content_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<div style=\"margin:auto;width:100%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"publicaciones-lda\" class=\"one withsmallpadding ppb_text\" style=\"padding:20px 0 20px 0;background-color:#fce9dc;\">\n<div class=\"standard_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"page_content_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<div style=\"margin:auto;width:100%\">\n<div class=\"one_fifth \" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/666169852?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" width=\"\" height=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\n<strong>Contemporary Polish BookArt<\/strong><br \/>\n<h8>Published on the occasion of The 43rd International Book Fair in Warsaw, Poland, 1999<\/h8>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one_fifth \" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/666169906?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" width=\"\" height=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\n<strong>Myths of Creation<\/strong><br \/>\n<h8>Arte Dos Gr\u00e1fico publishers, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia, 1994<\/h8>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one_fifth \" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/666170079?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" width=\"\" height=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\n<strong>Contemporary Art<\/strong><br \/>\n<h8>Sylvia Ready and Barbara Becker, Contrapunto Publishers, Santiago de Chile, 2015<\/h8>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one_fifth \" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/666170169?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" width=\"\" height=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\n<strong>\u201cThe Je ne sais quoi of painting and art in general<\/strong><br \/>\n<h8>Rai\u00f1a Lupa Publishers, Galicia, Spain, 2001<\/h8>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one_fifth last \" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/666170285?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" width=\"\" height=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\n<strong>Labyrinths: Homage to Jorge Luis Borges<\/strong><br \/>\n<h8>Gr\u00e1fica Contempor\u00e1nea Publishers, Buenos Aires, 1998<\/h8>\n<\/div>\n<p><br class=\"clear\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"one withsmallpadding ppb_text\" style=\"padding:20px 0 20px 0;\">\n<div class=\"standard_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"page_content_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<div style=\"margin:auto;width:100%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"video-lda\" class=\"one withsmallpadding ppb_text\" style=\"padding:10px 0 10px 0;\">\n<div class=\"standard_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"page_content_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<div style=\"margin:auto;width:100%\">\n<div class=\"two_third \" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/666170336?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" width=\"\" height=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one_third last \" style=\"\">\n<strong>Artist\u2019s Book<\/strong><br \/>\n<h8><strong>Concept and direction:<\/strong> Matilde Mar\u00edn<br \/>\n<strong>Edition:<\/strong> Daniela Muttis<br \/>\n<strong>Soundtrack:<\/strong> Nicol\u00e1s Diab<br \/>\n<strong>Format:<\/strong> mp4<br \/>\n<strong>Codec:<\/strong> H264<br \/>\n<strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> 1920 x 1080<br \/>\n<strong>FPS:<\/strong> 25<br \/>\n<strong>Running time:<\/strong> 3 mins.<br \/>\nBuenos Aires, 2003<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concept of the video:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe stages of creating an artist&#8217;s book.

It opens a new panorama of images, experiences, forms, techniques, and allows the word to be blended with the artistic project itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The beautiful classic book illustrated sometimes with wonderful engravings belongs to a different family. In reality, the Artist&#8217;s Book is at its antipodes and proposes a new conception. Although it may sometimes have a simpler or less luxurious appearance, its project is much more ambitious. The Artist&#8217;s Book is, in its entirety, conceived by an artist who concretizes his or her ideas and directs their execution. In the illustrated book, the painter or draughtsman is, in Matisse&#8217;s words, a second instrument that must keep up with the writer and illuminate him. In an Artist&#8217;s Book the artist writes or chooses the texts &#8211; when they exist &#8211; produces the images and takes care of their design; it is in their interrelationship that its creative function finds full development. From the beginning, the artist chooses the different media based on their combinations and the relationships that he or she wants to establish and highlight. Many times this artist belongs to a new type of creators who are no longer just painters or sculptors, but who resort to unpublished and diverse materials, and who transform the book into a true alternative space, into an exceptional piece of their visual proposals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A new generation of artists has abandoned the path of intellectual rigor and aesthetic asceticism that characterized the production of the Artist&#8217;s Book in its beginnings, for the seductions of a wide visual and tactile register. The limits established between the illustrated book, the artist&#8217;s book and the object book are often blurred. Many editions that are true works of art fall at the intersection of these categories and are sometimes among the best achieved and most prolific. This emancipation of the Artist&#8217;s Book from its conceptual origins translates into a growing number of publications with special formats, papers, bindings and assemblies: the Artist&#8217;s Book, being a paper book, to be opened and browsed, looks less and less like a traditional book.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Matilde Mar\u00edn<\/strong><br \/>\nBuenos Aires, 1998<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pp_accordion_close has_icon\">\n<h3><a href=\"#\"><i class=\"fa fa-file\"><\/i>Why I made \u201cMyths of Creation<\/a><\/h3>\n<div>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Artist&#8217;s book \u00abMyths of Creation\u00bb was born from looking and from a magnificent discovery for me. Many years ago on a trip to our continent and walking through the city of Bogot\u00e1, I visited the Gold Museum of the Bank of the Republic of Colombia, there I found a very beautiful text engraved on a large wall, a myth of creation of the Kogui people that inhabited and still does in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in that country. I was moved reading that beautiful abstract myth that told us about the mother, about women and that involved the moment of the creation of the world in a unique way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>First there was the sea, everything was dark<br \/>\n<\/i><i>There was no sun, no moon, no people, no animals, no plants<br \/>\n<\/i><i>The sea was the mother<br \/>\n<\/i><i>The mother was not people, or anything, or anything else<br \/>\n<\/i><i>She was spirit of what was to come<br \/>\n<\/i><i>And she was thought and memory<br \/>\n<\/i>An intense text, valuing women and with expressive beauty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On work or leisure trips, I usually carry a small notebook with me that allows me to record ideas, drawings and texts that will later come together in the devolpment of my works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The unforgettable text that I recorded that noon in the splendid Gold Museum of Bogot\u00e1, remained with me for many years and when in 1994 I returned to that city invited by Arte Dos Grafico, one of the workshops dedicated to the most significant printmaking in Latin America, and it offered the opportunity of a residence to create an artist&#8217;s book, I automatically thought of the Kogui Mythology and that engraving hanging on the wall of the museum that I had enjoyed years before. That text was then the inspiration for the residency project and for the artist&#8217;s book \u201cMyths of Creation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The artist&#8217;s book currently and for many years, constitutes a new space for reflection, a new circumstance where the book goes from being an element or a means of communication to becoming an object in itself, creating instances of absolutely specific and extremely creative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The preparation of the Artist&#8217;s Book \u201cMyths of Creation\u201d had several moments; the first stage was in Buenos Aires where I documented the myths; making use of these possibilities, I spent several afternoons in the library of the Ethnographic Museum of Buenos Aires, where I was able to access specific yearbooks on the subject.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The second stage, already in Bogot\u00e1, consisted of sketching the book project in the Arte Dos Grafico workshops, trying different techniques, materials and experimenting with handmade paper with acid-free vegetable fibers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The book was worked on jointly with the engraving and book publishing artisans of the workshop. The great challenge was to give it a structure; I combined images and texts about the perpetual night, the Eskimo myth, creation rites, Guaran\u00ed texts that narrate the appearance of man and language, and finally the mountain, the Andes mountain range in blue that forms the backbone of our Latin American continent. Etchings and serigraphs technically integrate this book with a handmade paper cover.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Finally, the colophon describes the moment of completion of this work, which marked a turning point in my artistic production; a moment where I closed the stage of a very long trip through Latin America, speaking precisely of the creation myths of native peoples. \u00abMyths of Creation\u00bb was finished printing in the workshops of Arte Dos Grafico in Colombia on the night of September 22, 1993 in a crescent moon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Matilde Mar\u00edn<\/strong><br \/>\nBuenos Aires September 17, 2021<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"one withsmallpadding ppb_text\" style=\"padding:5px 0 5px 0;\">\n<div class=\"standard_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"page_content_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<div style=\"margin:auto;width:100%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"extra-lda\" class=\"one withsmallpadding ppb_text\" style=\"padding:0px;background-color:#eeeeee;\">\n<div class=\"standard_wrapper\">\n<div id=\"175900270545705076\" data-gallery-id=\"5431\" data-items=\"0\" data-columns=\"2\" data-gutter=\"30\" data-type=\"masonry\" data-layout=\"contain\" class=\"portfolio_filter_wrapper masonry infinite_grid portfolio-content content gallery two_cols contain\" data-columns=\"2\">\n<div class=\"element masonry  classic2_cols blur\">\n<div class=\"one_half gallery2 static filterable gallery_type gallery_image animated1\"><a data-rel=\"photography_gallery_5431\" data-title=\"Matilde Mar\u00edn and Nelly Perazzo in the workshops of Arte Dos Gr\u00e1fico, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia, where the Artist&#039;s Book \u201cMyths of Creation\u201d was published in 1994\" data-desc=\"\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/01.Arte-Dos-Grafico-300x173.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/01.Arte-Dos-Grafico.jpg\"  class=\"fancy-gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/01.Arte-Dos-Grafico-705x407.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"preview\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"element masonry  classic2_cols blur\">\n<div class=\"one_half gallery2 static filterable gallery_type gallery_image animated2\"><a data-rel=\"photography_gallery_5431\" data-title=\"Matilde Mar\u00edn talks about the Artist&#039;s Book in &quot;A talk is a talk&quot;, a specialized space by Natalia Silberleib, year 2021\" data-desc=\"\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/02.-Una-charla-es-una-charla-300x169.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/02.-Una-charla-es-una-charla.jpg\"  class=\"fancy-gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/02.-Una-charla-es-una-charla-705x398.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"preview\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"one withsmallpadding ppb_text\" style=\"padding:20px 0 20px 0;\">\n<div class=\"standard_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"page_content_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<div style=\"margin:auto;width:100%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5032,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5425","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5425"}],"version-history":[{"count":22,"href":"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5425\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6258,"href":"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5425\/revisions\/6258"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matildemarin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
