„Книга художника” как интермедиальный дискурс

Abstrakt

The article is devoted to an analysis of various representations of the “Artist’s book” genre in modern Russian and world art. These representationsfunction within the framework of the paradigm of art that refers to issues such as inter- and multimedia, the model of a broadly talented artist, the concept of a multi-material work of art and the interactive act of perception.  The analysis  of  the  issues  connected  with  verbal  and  visual representations  of  the “Artist’s  book”  has  been  based  on  the  superordinate ‘word  and  picture’  formula  and  the interpretative  indicators  determined  by  generic  diversification  and  the  dialogue  with  other kinds of art: the relationship with painting and sculpture, the book as an object, ready made, mail-art, an artistic project (audiovisual book, photo- and body-art book, book performance), as  well  as  by  the  act  of  reception.  In  intermedia  discourse,  the  “Artist’s  book”  functions within the cultural, artistic and aesthetic perspective, between art and communication.
