Suchan Kinoshita : scenario : 11 sept. t-m 14 nov. 1993

Artist's Book
1993 (published)
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

This work is a 'catalogue' published in an edition of 400 copies to accompany an exhibition held at the Stadsgalerij Heerlen between 11 September and 14 November 1993.

It takes the form of a stack of fifty-two circular Heineken beer-mats onto the back of which text and images have been printed, scored, or embossed. Each beer-mat represents a page, the first one in the pile containing the catalogue's title page information. This is followed by six beer-mats printed with a simple scene by scene script, written in Dutch, for a short film by artist Stan Douglas entitled 'I'm Not Gary' and a further three beer-mats with text relating to the exhibition and other artists.

The remainder of the mats are filled with simple, single colour images: doodles, scribbles, child-like drawings, notes, equations. The final beer-mat 'page' is the catalogue's colophon printed with publishing details and ISBN, confirming beyond doubt that this pile of beer-mats is indeed a 'book'.
