Sandow Birk
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, from the series Imaginary Monuments, 2013, Edition of 25 + 8 proofs
Direct gravure etching on four copper plates printed on four sheets of handmade gampi paper, joined and backed with sekishu kozo paper
MORE about this artworkThis print, the second work in the Imaginary Monuments series, is the representation of a fictional monument to the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights—a document intended to solidify the belief in and commitment to basic human rights for all people. The historic pillar or column inscribed with the entire (legible) text of the United Nations’ document is based on the 1871 monument to Napoleon’s victory at the Place Vendôme in Paris. It is shown in a state of decay, as if its foundation were crumbling. The teetering pillar is supported by a makeshift system of pipes, scaffolding, and bamboo, and enclosed behind security fencing, making it inaccessible. The encircling cityscape spans the breadth of the globe, from the floating slums of Asia and shantytowns of Latin America and Africa in the foreground, to a skyline of iconic skyscrapers from international cities.

Medium: Direct gravure etching on four copper plates printed on four sheets of handmade gampi paper, joined and backed with sekishu kozo paper

MORE about this artworkWorking again with the linguistic meme of the elevator pitch, the Teaser series addresses similar issues as the companion work “Sometimes a Great Notion,” but here the combinations are more complex, forming a run-on construction intended to function as an individual, autonomous mental object. Using the text as a prompt, viewers are cued to imagine some undefined production suggested by the association of five disparate elements. The use of a commercial light box for presentation references mainstream advertising systems, as well as the appropriation of those systems by earlier conceptual artists.

MORE about this artworkThe Pulps series presents a collection of narrative fragments that appear to be lifted directly from the pages of various pulp novels. These “novels” are in fact imaginary constructions that mimic a variety of literary genres: Horror, mystery, science fiction, etc. In each fragment, an image or visual scenario is described or implicated. These brief excerpts from literary works that do not actually exist encourage viewers to visualize both this scenario, along with the larger narrative it possibly occupies.
