Copier Books Section

Louise Neaderland: "These books were created at the dawn of using the copier as a creative tool and true to the zeitgeist of the time they were not thought to be precious objects. They were printed on non-archival paper, they were inexpensive, often bartered for the work of other artists, or simply given away as a political statement. The remaining copies have, in some cases, yellowed somewhat and aged, as has the artist. Some are a little dog-eared around the edges but in no way defaced. ... They should be seen as a snapshot of a certain time in history when a humble piece of office equipment inspired artists to work in a way they had never worked before. "

Sadat's Journey
By Louise Neaderland
Brooklyn, New York: Bone Hollow Arts, 1982. Second edition.

9.5 x 8.5"; 4 pages. Accordion fold. Photocopy collage using two articles from The New York Times and a press photograph.

A tribute to Anwar el-Sadat.

Louise Neaderland: "Created from multiple copies of a photograph of Sadat in front of the pyramids shortly before his assassination. The book opens with the empty desert, the pyramids appear, Sadat appears then slowly disappears, the pyramids disappear, and the desert remains."

The Egyptian president appears as a standing figure throughout the cinematic panorama until, at the end, his presence is a cut-out silhouette, an empty space where his likeness used to be.

Louise Neaderland: The following books were produced in very small editions , from ten to two hundred copies . They were hugely labor intensive and only as the need arose did the artist produce more copies. Many innovative book forms were created and everything was done by hand. Finally there are limited, signed and numbered editions. While many of the themes remain the same, the forms of these books are quite different. My intention has always been for the form of the book to enhance the message of the book. What has remained constant over the past thirty years is my use of the copier as a creative tool, a darkroom and a printing press and to think of multiples of a single image as a kind of mantra which can reveal a hidden narrative in the original single image."

This book documents the scene in St. Petersburg during the coup of August 9, 1991, contrasts it with the 1914 images, and adds news clippings, conspicuously not from Russian news media, which barely mentioned what was going on."

12 x 6 x 1.5"; 11 leaves including title cover and back board. Photocopy pages dry mounted on boards set into an accordion binding.

Louise Neaderland, catalog: "This form resembles a stepped pyramid, a memorial ... This book is about the artist's father. Each page shows him at a different stage in his life. The images of his driver's license grow larger and more important as he progresses from youth to old age. In his last years he refused to give up this iconic symbol of his independence. A shrunken old man now, he can barely see over the wheel of the car, but refuses to give up driving. He dies with that license in his wallet. In NY state, as long as an elderly person can read the eye chart, the State cannot refuse to renew his license regardless of his mental or physical condition."

The Disposable History of the World
By Louise Neaderland
Brooklyn, New York: Louise Neaderland, 2010. Reissue of 1986 edition.

6.25 x 3.75 x 2"; 50 sheets. Tissue container box construction. Pages cut out from a newspaper.

Louise Neaderland: "Handmade tissue box containing 50 1-ply sheets of all kinds of news and advertising in several different languages. One side flap remains unglued to allow for refilling. These newsprint items are meant to fade and ultimately disintegrate. It is the artist's intention to comment on the fact that we learn very little from history and are forced to repeat the same mistakes; that advertisements for five hundred dollar shoes sit cheek by jowl with news of the latest disasters; that all items, in any language, seem to carry the same weight, and that they are all, in a sense, disposable."

The Disposable History of the World was originally published in 1986 under Bone Hollow Arts. Neaderland made a design modification to the box in 2010.

Louise Neaderland: "Bone Hollow Arts ceased to exist in 1990. It was created when my husband and I opened a gallery in our upstate barn on Bone Hollow Road. My earliest books were brought out under that name. The contents of both the first edition and the 2010 revised edition were chosen randomly, but always in three different languages. The reason for the 2010 revision was to re-design the box. A number of people complained that it was too difficult to view the contents without damaging the box. With the new box, the entire top half of the box opens, allowing the contents to cascade out. I made use of the contents of the discarded boxes, and added to it from more current items, still in several languages. The contents of the boxes have always been random and irrelevant. Some owners of the boxes have added their own contents. My own copy has been left to yellow and decay, since that is the real existential point of the book, for me. And yes, the 2010 edition is a variant of the same work and point of view."

Empress Bullet
By Louise Neaderland
Rosedale, New York: Women's Studio Workshop / International Society of Copier Artists, 1982. Edition of 100.

9.75 x 9"; 8 pages including cover. Accordion fold. Photocopy in black-and-white on a Xerox 9400.

Women's Studio Workshop, Synopsis: "This book is based on a news story by Steve Crist and a photograph by Vic DeLucia which appeared in The New York Times. It was created from multiple copies of a single image arranged in such a way as to create a visual narrative moving through time and space with discovered poetry emerging from re-aligned text. A Xerox 9400 was used to create the multiples."

Louise Neaderland: "A racehorse throws her rider, goes on to cross the finish line first but is disqualified from winning because she has no rider. Without a rider to rein her in she continues running until impaling herself on a safety barrier. Created from multiples of a single image and the article's text manipulated to create found poetry."

Genesis
By Louise Odes Neaderland
New York City: Bone Hollow Arts, 1998. Edition of 10.

8.5 x 4.25" closed, origami triangle structure with 6 six-panel page openings. Color photocopy. Triangular shaped slipcase. Includes folded color illustrated sheet of possible configurations.

Louise Neaderland, catalog: "Origami based book sculpture was developed by the artist and deals with creation. True to her belief that the form of the book should enhance and relate to its content, the viewer can create many configurations of this book by pressing the velcro dots on the front and back together, flipping, inverting, flattening, and otherwise manipulating its flexible form. One can also, by disengaging the velcro, stretch the book open like an accordion. The images range from the text of Genesis, scientific descriptions of the universe, paste papers of whirling space and turbulent waters, and a picture of Albert Einstein."

The Heart of Lightness
By Louise Neaderland
Brooklyn, New York: Louise Neaderland, 1985. Second edition.

2.5 x 8.5" closed, opens to 15 x 8.5". Fan construction with screw closure. Printed with rubber stamps.

The Heart of Lightness is constructed from narrow tapered pages that fan out to reveal the text and images.

I have often wondered why the closer to the flame I fly, the cooler I become.

Louise Neaderland (summer 2012): "I used rubber stamps frequently at that time [1984] and to create editions was very time consuming. The first edition was for the June Bookworks issue of the Quarterly [of the Society of Copier Artists], but somehow orders kept coming in so I created a 2nd edition. I think it appealed to people who were doing dangerous things at the time, and the 80's were full of that kind of behavior, protests and drugs and hippies, etc. I guess taking chances was exciting … the closer to the action (heat) … the cooler (braver) I become."

On the left side from back to front, a poem by the Edo period poet Matsuo Basho (1644-1694). On the right is a short poem by the artist.

The months and days that come and go are travelers of eternity. The years are also voyagers. ~ Basho

Sing to me of time and space, of weightless dreams on cruise control. ~ Neaderland

La Strada
By Louise Neaderland
Brooklyn, New York: Bone Hollow Arts, 1986. Edition size unknown.

4.25 x 4.25"; 6 leaves. Offset printed in duotone. Stitch bound. Housed in envelope with title tipped on.

Third in Neaderland's series "Where is Home?" Each flip-up page grows in size, lengthening the view, until, on the last page, the people disappear and are placed by a mirrored surface, which literally brings the reader into the work.

Louise Neaderland: "Mylar mirror at the end reflects an empty road and the viewers reflection. On each page the road gets longer, giving the illusion of the two figures walking, the road moving further away. The finally disappear, leaving just the road, empty, and reflected in the mirror along with the viewer of the book."

Labyrinth
A Slice Form Book

By Louise Odes Neaderland
Brooklyn, New York: Louise Odes Neaderland, 2001. Edition of 4.

15.25 x 8.5" closed, opens to 11 x 11 x 8.5"; four leaves, 3 panels each. Slice form construction. Housed in black and red envelope with title on flap. Signed by the artist.

A do-it-yourself book.The detached leaves are placed in slots to form a three dimensional view of the artist's balcony view.

Louise Neaderland, catalog description: "This book was created with photographs taken by the artist from her balcony overlooking the entry to her building, formerly a small private hospital with a large garden area and wrought iron fencing. Pictures taken looking down at the entry provide a birds eye view of residents coming and going. The open book can be viewed from the top revealing the bright red core of the maze and the trapped figure. Unfortunately, a photo detail of that does not have the same feeling. The exterior has twenty different picture panels."

Original Copies
From the ISCA Quarterly of xerographic prints 1981-2003

By Louise Neaderland
Brooklyn, New York: International Society of Copier Artists, 2010. Edition of 20.

9.375 x 11.25"; 42 pages including front and back sheets. 26 (8.5 x 11") prints plus 5 double-page spreads. Prints slipped into clear archival plastic sheets. Three hole post binding. Numbered. Most prints are signed and numbered.

A compilation of prints that Louise Neaderland created for the ISCA Quarterly publication. Includes introduction by Neaderland.

Louise Neaderland: "The first generation of electrographic copiers were a far cry from modern laser machines. Very often the paper path was crooked, and the toner coverage sometimes unreliable, producing imperfect black coverage. So, viewer take note, these Original Copies should be appreciated for what they are, warts and all, not 'fine art prints.'

"All but a few of the prints presented here were remainders of original editions from my file cabinet. Those editions ranged in number from twenty-five for the first issue of the ISCA Quarterly, to one hundred fifty for later issues.

"In a few instances, an original print had to be reprinted on a computer printer after scanning in the original electrostatic copier print. Modern copiers cannot reproduce the feeling of those original prints, but it was possible to come close by using Photoshop to retrieve the feeling of the original print. This was true for two or three of the prints in this collection.

"All of these copier prints were created for inclusion in the ISCA Quarterly, the assemblage project of the International Society of Copier Artists. This Society, founded by me in 1981, was intended to provide a showcase for artists using the copier as a creative tool. The Society enjoyed a long life, with the final edition appearing in 2003. It was arguably the longest running international assemblage project in the world. Nothing remains of many of the prints I created for the Quarterly. I created four prints, and later, after the introduction of the June artist's book issue, three prints each year, for twenty-one years.

"Xerographic prints are now part of the long history of artists making use of new technologies, creatively. The copier was a camera, darkroom, and printing press for many artists. We could enlarge, reduce, distort, degenerate, and directly image material, instantly... and then press PRINT!

"The sequencing of the prints, while not strictly sequential in time, does reflect one artist's response to the events of a twenty-one year period of transformational historical, social, and political turmoil. The consequences of these events will shape our lives, for better or for worse, for the foreseeable future. I hope that these prints, warts and all, will speak to you."

Our Glass
By Louise Neaderland
Brooklyn, New York: Louise Neaderland, 1984.

8.25 x 9.5"; 7 pages. Hourglass-shaped pages handcut from card stock. Sand applied to pages. Photocopy book. Bound at top with red thread strung through two punched holes. Signed and dated by the artist.

Kristina Feliciana, Making Memory Books by Hand: "Here the artist depicts her mother's life, from young girl to old woman, with the sand starting at the top of the hourglass and filtering to the bottom as the pages (which are similar to calendar pages, another reference to time) are turned. This book is part of Neaderland's series, Where Is Home?, about her parents, the passage of time, and the endurance of sand. The books were made over a period of about four years when both her parents were in nursing homes, a traumatic time for the artist and her sister."

This article provides the text for the book."
