Today we gave our big\u00a0encyclopaedia\u00a0to\u00a0Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t Bochum. They are holding a Borges colloquium\u00a0and an aspect of it will be; an exhibition of artist books, which pick up the Borges\u00a0theme. Some years ago Barbara Fahrner had the idea to artistically\u00a0discover\u00a0the mysterious lost\u00a0encyclopaedia\u00a0from Borges’ story, ‘Tl\u00f6n Uqbar Orbis Tertius’. Much planning went into her project. Eventually she invited a number of artists to take part in this, what was to become, a five year project. Initially she thought a small series of grey slim booklets would be great to house the\u00a0encyclopaedia. But after much thought we considered the “simple” book form to be too restrictive if not a suffocation of the artistic intent of the project and too limiting for such an ambitious undertaking. We wanted to set out in the spirit of Borges and not produce illustrated or a merely fine printed edition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Capturing the the essence of the Borges story was not for everyone. The project literally\u00a0demanded\u00a0a flexible frame. We chose a set of five folders which contain a\u00a0multitude\u00a0of different books and individual sheets. In the folder one can\u00a0discover\u00a0hand written\u00a0books, letter press, offset printed books. Ink drawn pages, computer print. Many, many\u00a0different\u00a0forms of artistic expressions. Equally important was that our\u00a0encyclopaedia\u00a0was not the endless reprint of popular literary texts but contained mainly literary pieces written purposely for the\u00a0encyclopaedia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0encyclopaedia\u00a0was very well received and acquired by places like the Library of Congress, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenb\u00fcttel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I am particularly happy when the books, pages and other objects get into the hands of people who really enjoy reading and dive into the depth of this work; which is so much more than a book series, it is a diversely spiralling literary work of great magnitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n
