Brian Dettmer: Book Sculpture

August 24, 2010 By Wendy Campbell

 

More great work from Atlanta, Georgia based artist Brian Dettmer. “Dettmer sifts through stacks of old books, boxes of dusty cassette tapes, and piles of obsolete maps to uncover the perfect source and subject for his conceptual explorations and sculptural dissections. Dettmer alters pre-existing materials by selectively removing and manipulating elements as a way to allow new interpretations and ideas to emerge. With the precision of a surgeon, Dettmer uses clamps, scalpels and tweezers to recontextualize his found objects and reveal hidden meanings.” (from Kinz & Tillou Fine Art)

To see more of Brian Dettmer’s altered books, visit his Photostream on Flickr or check out BrianDettmer.com for Gallery information.
