Scope and Contents
The editor of this boxed series is Lisa Pearson. Internet: Molly Springfield makes drawings and installations based on texts. Her work often focuses on transformative moments in the history of information and representation, addressing oppositions between reproduction and originality, seeing and reading, and technology and labor. Springfield's "translation" of Proust in the form of graphite-on-paper drawings is currently on view (through June 2, 2013) at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Her installation exploring the ways that marginalia reveals relationships between readers and texts is currently on view (through March 2013) at Steven Wolf Fine Arts in San Francisco. Later this year, her drawings of photocopies of books on the history of conceptual art will be exhibited at the Drawing Center in New York. Other recent and ongoing projects investigate the proto-history of the Internet, Google's book-scanning patent, the invention of calotype photography in the 1830's, and the history of how drawing is taught. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
