Francesca Gagliardi Il gioco dell'appendino, 1998
Artist's games. Limited editions. Atelier 14.
Artists' games. Co-produced editions.
They are a series of artists' games in limited editions published by Atelier 14 in co-production with the author. Still directly linked to illustration and to orthodox printmaking techniques, they emerged at the end of the research for her degree thesis, focused on the artist's book, and from her meeting with the Galleria Il Mercante di stampe and the Galleria Derbylius, both in Milan. A reflection that starts from the French tradition of the early twentieth century and reaches the book-object productions of the following decades. What is the relationship between word and image, between structure and content, and what is the function of the artist's book? To this is added the playful aspect, introducing the active participation of the user.
