In my Artforum Excavation Series, I recontextualize content and subvert it in order to insert myself into larger global narratives. My manipulations map out a tangle of associations, unique contradictions and paradoxes through curious juxtapositions. I consider my interaction with Artforum magazine as a meditation on materiality which results in a palpable complexity between form and information.

Artist Francesca Pastine creates beautiful sculptural interventions using ARTFORUM magazines as her medium.The cut magazines are made by working through the pages, cutting around the paper until the only parts remaining are what she chooses. Speaking about her work, Francesca said, “Maintaining a strong connection to the physicality of drawing, my X-acto blade mimics a pencil. I eschew glue or other manipulations that change the inherent character of the magazines. In this way, they retain their association to what they are, carriers of information that have been handled, earmarked and scuffed over time.”

In her Artforum Excavation Series San Francisco-based artist Francesca Pastine created beautiful, dripping topographies from the colorful pages of Artforum Magazine. Pastine cut each magazine layer by layer with an X-acto blade to reveal narrow bands of the pages within, in some cases interacting directly with art printed on the covers creating new hybrid artwork she refers to as “unsolicited collaborations”—which is brilliant. You can follow more of Pastine’s work on her blog and she has upcoming shows at the Halsey Institute of contemporary Art and Studio Quercus.

地理學、地質、土壤，這些實在太深奧了，但只要一跟藝術結合，就展現另一種風貌，地理涵蓋的範圍非常廣泛，可牽涉影響到自然人文，而藝術某部分也類似，能牽涉許多層面，創作沒有固定形式，卻能給予人豐富視覺及增加心靈養分，讓人無形間累積力量，更能表達自我的情感與意識。

藝術家Francesca Pastine創造了像地質剖面的造型雕塑，想不到一本本的雜誌也能呈現出如此視覺的震撼，她切割不要的部分，留下的每一頁多彩的顏色層層疊在一起，產生意外的驚艷，談到她的作品，Francesca說：「為了維持繪畫原有特徵強烈的連結感，我以刀片模仿鉛筆的筆觸，不使用膠水或其他物品來改變該雜誌固有的性質，以這種方式，它們會保留原本該傳遞的訊息、特徵，以及因時間推移出現的磨損。」
如果在房間放一個這樣的雕刻作品，絕對可為房間整體氣氛加分！

Francesca Pastine acumulou dezenas de números da revista Artforum e com eles criou obras de arte intrigantes. Por meio de corte e dobraduras, chega-se a ter a sensação de derretimento das páginas, como se a arte estivesse escorrendo em várias direções. A francesca batiza sua obra, Artforum Excavation Series, de “topografia visceral das tendências artísticas”.

É uma arte curiosa e uma forma de dar nova vida ao conteúdo cultural: Francesca Pastine acumulou dezenas de números da revista Artforum e com eles criou obras de arte intrigantes. Cortando, dobrando, manipulando e ‘escavando’ os exemplares, ela cria esse efeito incrível que pode ver nas fotos.

Dá até a sensação de derretimento das páginas, como se a arte estivesse escorrendo em várias direções. A francesca chama a sua obra, Artforum Excavation Series, de “topografia visceral das tendências artísticas”.

Met behulp van een mesje snijdt kunstenaar Francesca Pastine stukken uit het tijdschrift Artforum zodat er sculpturen ontstaan. De kleurrijke pagina’s van het blad worden zo op spectaculaire wijze zichtbaar.
