Studies For Possible Futures<\/em> by Maggie Groat wins 2012 Artists’ Book of the Moment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The annual competition held by the Art Gallery of York University (Toronto) collects and reviews artists\u2019 books and selects one title as the Artists’ Book of the Moment. Groat is interested in the \u201cinterdisciplinary potential of artistic intervention and envisioning.\u201d Her art practice often involves assuming the role of researcher, embracing a discipline, and conducting a study. These activities aid in the exploration of \u201cwhat occurs in the intersections and gaps between dichotomies, particularly between art\/science, politics\/poetics, utopia\/reality, romanticism\/conceptualism.\u201d Studies For Possible Futures<\/em> is a collection of twenty-two collages. Organizers described the book, \u201cUtilizing found images, the artist engages in subtle manipulation of the printed-matter to provide meditations on place, hope, and utopia. The resulting images serve as visual-proposals, such as the visions of lunar communes, the creation of new lands, green spaces, or cosmic monuments, all of which attempt to document the artist\u2019s accumulation of research activity and discovery through primarily non-linguisitic means. Approached with curiosity and the inquisitive spirit of a field scientist, the works in this book are small acts of envisioning; they are maps of sorts, made from fragments of the past which are now compiled, combined, re-configured and fragmented into portraits of possible futures.\u201c<\/p>\n
