Jonathan Callan is another artist who looks at a book and says what can i make out of that?
Jonathan Callan is another artist who looks at a book and says what can i make out of that?
Rag and Bone Blog has the skinny
“British artist Jonathan Callan finds inspiration in books. He uses them as both medium and muse, assembling structures which make us think about the role of books in our lives. His oversized “walls” of books are drilled-together, static forms which have movement even while still.”
The Houldsworth gallery has a few more pictures of his work.
doesn’t anybody reading the fucking things anymore? apparently not according to CNN.com where there is a poll of US readers non-reading habits. I guess everyone is at home making art.

The famous NYPL lions make a fine pair of bookends!
Our famous lions Patience and Fortitude survey Fifth Avenue from the steps of the Library’s landmark Humanities and Social Sciences Library on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street in Manhattan. And our best-selling bookends are beautifully detailed reproductions of the monumental originals, a favorite gift among New Yorkers and library lovers everywhere for the memories they evoke of both the Library and New York City. They’re heavy enough to hold large books, and make a handsome addition to any library.
Hand-cast in a durable blend of marble powder and museum-quality resin, the bookends stand about 7″ tall overall, with the bases measuring 4″ x 7″. They have a non-skid pad on the base which protects furniture as well, and can be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive soap, using a soft cloth, when necessary.
