Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay dwells upon the human hand, on its evidence in pages of Art/Life. ‘Evidence of the Hand’ is a motif in publisher Joe Cardella’s personal artwork, both on and off Art/Life pages. Examining a few key dimensions of this motif, we first discuss the hand’s appearance in all of Volume 1 (1981), as well as in selected instances throughout later issues. Second, we linger on Art/Life’s earliest collages as art’s high-brow ‘aura’ took a hit with printing technology’s first democratic offering to artists. Following a natural progression, we then turn our attention to Art/Life as democratic medium, focusing on an international mail art project. This essay then closes this treatment with a zoom-in on first and last anniversary issues. The only issue ever boxed, the November/December issue of Volume One allowed for an explosion of artistic and material possibilities, leading the transformation of Art/Life from two-dimensional Xerox-based zine to multi-media artist-book collected and archived by the world’s leading academic and art institutions. This development culminated in Art/Life’s 25th Anniversary Issue.

从《艺术家的生活》看艺术之手/生活的证据

这篇文章详述了人类的手，以及它在《艺术/生活》中的证据。“手的证据”是出版商乔·卡德拉个人作品的主题，无论是在艺术/生活页面上还是在其他页面上。检查这个主题的几个关键维度，我们首先讨论手的外观在所有的第1卷(1981)，以及在后来的问题中选定的实例。其次，我们流连于Art/Life最早的拼贴画，因为印刷技术第一次为艺术家提供了民主，艺术的高雅“光环”受到了打击。随后，我们将注意力转向作为民主媒体的艺术/生活，专注于一个国际邮件艺术项目。这篇文章然后用一周年和最后一周年问题的放大来结束这种处理。第一卷11月/ 12月号是唯一一个盒装的问题，它带来了艺术和材料可能性的爆炸，引领了艺术/生活从二维复印杂志到多媒体艺术家书籍的转变，这些书籍被世界领先的学术和艺术机构收集和存档。这一发展在《艺术/生活》25周年特刊上达到高潮。
