Sharon Kivland\u2019s books A Case of Hysteria<\/a><\/em> (1999) and Reading Nana<\/em><\/a> (2017) have been added to the\u00a0The Book Lovers<\/a>\u00a0collection as the result of a research project.<\/p>\n

The Book Lovers<\/a> is a research project on the phenomenon of artists’ novels curated by David Maroto<\/a> and Joanna Zielinska<\/a>. The central question of this research is how a literary genre such as the novel becomes a medium in the visual arts, exactly as video or installation could be. There have been artists throughout the 20th century who wrote novels as an activity more or less detached from their visual art production.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, in recent years an increasing number of artists have begun to integrate their novels as a fundamental part of their visual art projects. Surprisingly, there is a lack of research on this subject. This circumstance gives rise to a situation in which artists who write novels are not aware of others doing the same. With The Book Lovers we are intending to create public awareness of this silently widespread artistic trend. As its cornerstone, we created a collection of artists\u2019 novels with a parallel online database (both supported by the M HKA<\/a> in Antwerp), and complemented it with a series of exhibitions, performances, publications, and a pop-up book store, which has enabled us to engage with a host of international institutions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The collection includes, among others, novels written by: Carl Andre, Hugo Ball, Matthew Brannon, AA Bronson, Jake Chapman, Keren Cytter, Salvador Dal\u00ed, Tim Etchells, \u00d6yvind Fahlstr\u00f6m, Matias Faldbakken, Liam Gillick, Goldin+Senneby, Rodney Graham, Ren\u00e9e Green, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Pablo Helguera, Stewart Home, Isidore Isou, Sharon Kivland<\/a>, Pierre Klossowski, Joseph Kosuth, Yayoi Kusama, Gareth Long, Jill Magid, Tom McCarthy, Brian O\u2019Doherty, Mai-Thu Perret, Tom Phillips, Francis Picabia, Richard Prince, Stuart Ringholt, David Robbins, Roee Rosen, Lindsay Seers, Benjamin Seror, Alexandre Singh, Cally Spooner, Oscar Tuazon, Andy Warhol \u2026 to a total of 500 titles. This collection is the result of the project carried out by David Maroto and Joanna Zielinska, and it has been acquired by M HKA, to be part of the museum\u2019s collection.

The Book Lovers researches the many different ways in which novels are part of visual art projects. Here, the concept of the novel is not only confined to the space of the book, but it is expanded in a body of works that are interrelated and find their central reference in its narrative. Introducing traits that are particular of narrative literature into the visual arts implies the accentuation of some features over others. Notions such as narration, fiction, identification, issues of authorship, the very act of reading and the protracted engagement that it involves, as well as strategies of distribution in public space, might be familiar to any writer, but for the visual artist they open up a world of possibilities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
