Nick Relph MONSTERS, Pre–Echo, 2022
Softcover. 500 pages. 267 x 310 mm. Color.
価格:9,350円(税込)
/
ロサンゼルスを拠点に活動するイギリス人アーティスト、ニック・レルフ(Nick Relph)の作品集。2021年刊行の作品集『ECLIPSE BODY & SOUL SYNTAX』に続く一作。前作と同じスキャン方法を使用して、作者はニューヨーク、ロサンゼルスにある1,000の公衆電話のボックス・エンクロージャ(ケース)のイメージ群を収集した。
本作に収まっているイメージ群は前作とは対照的に、より均一にスキャンされているものの、紙、シール、ペンキ、錆、雨水、ホログラム、反射ビニール、ネジ、ケチャップ、植物、鳥の糞、電気ケーブルなど、デジタルアーチファクトや表面に付着するものが際立つ。
作者とブックデザインを手がけたジョセフ・ギルモア(Joseph Gilmore)は、452点のイメージ群を編集し、表紙から裏表紙に渡るまでシークエンスを構成している。各ページに記載されている数字は、コピー機でスキャンされたイメージに対応する別の数字とセットになっており、作者自身のプリントシリーズ『Seeing Plastic』を通じてそれを入手できる仕上がりになっている。
(twelvebooksによる本書紹介文)
MONSTERS serves as a tangential addendum to Eclipse Body & Soul Syntax (published by Pre–Echo in Fall 2021). Using the same scanning process as before, Relph gathered 1000 images of payphone enclosures in New York and Los Angeles.
In contrast to Eclipse Body & Soul Syntax the scans in MONSTERS are more uniform, upset though they are by digital artifacts and surface interruptions: paper, stickers, paint, rust, rainwater, a hologram, reflective vinyl, screws, ketchup, plants, bird shit, electrical cable.
For the book Relph and designer Joseph Gilmore assembled an edit of 452 images, with the sequence beginning on the front cover, and ending on the back. The page numbers are accompanied by another set of numbers which correspond to an individuated xerox copy of each image, which Relph is making available through his Seeing Plastic imprint.

Oliver Payne and Nick Relph
Ash’s Stash (Installation in New Yok):
“Cupboards become catwalks, and possessions pose for the camera, waiting to be liked.”
An installation concerned with ‘running out of past’
Oliver Payne and Nick Relph have wittily conflated the artist/collector relationship with Ash’s Stash (2007)
Ash’s Stash is composed of cobbled together combinations of Nike trainers, record covers, and other oddities of material culture around 1997.

Nick Relph Stalks Delirious, Unfinished New York as It Rises
Nick Relph Stalks Delirious, Unfinished New York as It Rises
The British artist Nick Relph likes to wander New York under cover of night, loitering in the vicinity of the city’s ubiquitous construction fences, doing a thing that seems at first glance — especially if you are a police officer — immediately identifiable.
He holds a dark object in his hand. He swipes it rhythmically up and down the wooden fencing and its building poster, a motion common to…

Nick Relph acecha delirante e inconclusa Nueva York a medida que avanza
Nick Relph acecha delirante e inconclusa Nueva York a medida que avanza
Al artista británico Nick Relph le gusta vagar por Nueva York al amparo de la noche, merodeando en las cercanías de las omnipresentes vallas de construcción de la ciudad, haciendo algo que parece a primera vista, especialmente si eres una oferta policial, inmediatamente identificable.
Tiene un objeto oscuro en su mano. Lo desliza rítmicamente hacia arriba y hacia abajo por la cerca de madera y el…
