Abstract

In contemporary Russian book culture, a special place belongs to such a phenomenon as the artist’s book. Having a long history of development, at the beginning of the 21st century, it is often correlated with the idea of overcoming the postmodernist mentality. The most characteristic example of this kind is the theoretical and practical study of the artist’s book by Mikhail Pogarsky. In the Phenomenon of Artist's Book (2013, 2014) and the Artist's Book [+] (2015), Pogarsky makes an attempt to fit the artist’s book into the modern cultural paradigm. He thinks of the artist’s book as a manifestation of a new artistic worldview, “artlibria”, which is characterized by a complex multilevel perception and transformation of reality. The artist’s book by Pogarsky corresponds to the idea of “total synthesis”: it integrates the old and the new, the verbal and the visual, the virtual and the real, fulfilling the main goal of the worldview - overcoming chaos and “assembling the world”. By connecting word and image, the artist opens up limitless opportunities for creative self-expression and includes the viewer-reader in the active process of unraveling and creating meanings. The artist’s book is characterized by a change in the status of the text, a rethinking of the correlation between the verbal and the visual. The text becomes a source of creative metamorphosis, predetermines the selection of visual objects. The idea of the artist’s book is embodied by both literary means and signs of culture. Important is its visual solution; spaces selected for the demonstration of such a book can also actualize additional meanings. Pogarsky’s works demonstrate different ways of incorporating text into the artist’s book, allowing us to speak about the principal absence of a correlation, set once and for all, between the verbal and the visual. The book The Element and the Wind (1996) embodies the principle of superposition of meanings, the correlation of different sides of artistic reception, which is characteristic of the artist’s book. In Pogarsky’s practice, the principle of the so-called “moment-form” becomes a notable method of including text in the artist’s book. This principle is realized in the book Labyrinths of Dreams (2000) and is reduced to a refusal of the set sequence of fragments of the text, and for the reader-viewer the sequence will also be casual. This open nature of the artist’s book makes it a way of an autonomous statement, offering a special artistic optics, combining verbal and object-visual planes. The viewer-reader is included not only in the process of unraveling the artist’s book, but also in the wide semantic field of culture. The author declares no conflicts of interests.

“诗人的独特气息”:米哈伊尔·波加尔斯基在创作一本艺术家的书时用的一个词
在当代俄罗斯图书文化中,艺术家图书这一现象占有特殊的地位。它有着悠久的发展历史,在21世纪初,它往往与克服后现代主义思维的思想联系在一起。最典型的例子是对米哈伊尔·波加尔斯基(Mikhail Pogarsky)的艺术家著作的理论和实践研究。在《艺术家的书的现象》(2013、2014)和《艺术家的书》[+](2015)中,波加斯基尝试将艺术家的书融入现代文化范式。他认为艺术家的书是一种新的艺术世界观“艺术图书馆”的表现,这种世界观的特点是对现实的复杂的多层次感知和转化。艺术家Pogarsky的这本书符合“全面综合”的理念:它整合了旧与新,语言与视觉,虚拟与真实,实现了世界观的主要目标-克服混乱和“组装世界”。通过文字和图像的连接,艺术家为创造性的自我表达开辟了无限的机会,并将观众-读者纳入了解开和创造意义的主动过程中。艺术家的书的特点是文本状态的改变,重新思考语言和视觉之间的关系。文本成为创作变形的源泉,预先决定了视觉对象的选择。艺术家的书的理念既体现在文学手段上,也体现在文化符号上。重要的是其视觉解决方案;为展示这样一本书而选择的空间也可以实现额外的意义。波加斯基的作品展示了将文本融入艺术家作品的不同方式,使我们能够谈论语言和视觉之间的相关性的主要缺失,一劳永逸。《元素与风》(The Element and The Wind, 1996)体现了意义叠加的原则,体现了艺术接受的不同方面的关联,这是艺术家作品的特点。在Pogarsky的实践中,所谓的“瞬间形式”原则成为艺术家在书中包含文本的一种显著方法。这一原则在《梦的迷宫》(labyrinth of Dreams, 2000)一书中得以实现,并被简化为对文本片段的既定顺序的拒绝,对于读者-观众来说,这个顺序也将是随意的。艺术家的书的这种开放性使它成为一种自主陈述的方式,提供了一种特殊的艺术光学,结合了语言和物体视觉的平面。观众-读者不仅被包括在解开艺术家的书的过程中,而且也被包括在广阔的文化语义场域中。作者声明没有利益冲突。
