Adam Pendleton: As Heavy as Sculpture Description
An artist''s book exploring the language of protest
A
new
artist''s
book
by
Adam
Pendleton
(born
1984),
As
Heavy
as
Sculpture
follows
Pendleton''s
2021
installation
of
the
same
title,
exhibited
at
the
New
Museum
in
New
York.
The
book
collects,
repeats
and
processes
over
80
source
collages,
incorporating
drawings,
sketches,
writing
and
marks,
often
in
combination
with
images.
Much
of
the
language
in
the
collages
is
drawn
from
the
protests
against
police
brutality
that
swept
the
US
in
2020:
Pendleton
has
transcribed
slogans
sprayed
on
walls
and
windows,
combining
them
with
his
own
improvised
language
as
well
as
photographs
of
art
objects
and
artifacts
(sculptures,
masks
and
figures).
The
work
points
to
the
poetic
pressure
that
uprisings
place
on
language
itself,
compressing
it
in
some
cases
into
the
barest
of
forms:
simple
sequences
like
ACAB
or
1312,
further
reducible
to
the
elements
A,
B,
C,
1,
2,
3.
In
parallel
with
these
operations
of
decomposition
and
recomposition,
the
collages
in
As
Heavy
as
Sculpture
have
been
duplicated,
laid
out
across
30
sheets
and
folded
into
book
signatures,
creating
new
displacements
and
cuts.
This
folding
is
in
effect
a
chance
operation,
a
procedure
of
recombination
and
translation,
resulting
in
arrangements
of
images
not
planned
out
in
advance.
