MULTIPLESSubscription series 2013–14:
For Un vent de révolution, I produced a high-street line of my work Noms propres (ma pétroleuse), making this attractive yet provocative necklace available to the woman in the street or at the barricade at an affordable price. The term, the source of which lies in the Paris Commune of 1871, means a woman who speaks her political views too stridently, but can also imply a cockteaser (what a naughty tease). In an edition of ten, each necklace, in fine quality sterling silver, comes in a presentation gift box, stamped in red with title and date, and lined with red silk. The edition is produced by Passerelle Centre d'art, and is available at the modest price of 75 euros. It is, we think you will agree, the perfect gift for that special revolutionary woman. There is only one remaining, I must signal. Pour Un vent de révolution, j'ai produit une ligne d’objets dérivés de mon travail Noms propres (ma pétroleuse), rendant cet attrayant et pourtant provoquant collier disponible pour la femme dans la rue ou sur les barricades à un prix abordable. Le terme, dont la source provient de la Commune de Paris en 1871, désigne une femme qui affirme ouvertement ses opinions politiques, mais peut aussi désigner une allumeuse (quelle coquine!). Edité en 10 exemplaires, chaque collier, en argent de fine qualité, est livré dans un coffret cadeau, estampillé en rouge avec le titre et la date, et doublé de soie rouge. Cette édition a été produite par le Centre d’art Passerelle, pour la modique somme de 75€. C’est, et vous serez d’accord avec nous, le cadeau idéal pour cette femme révolutionnaire spéciale.
Mes Tropes A handmade black box,with an elegant white edge, embossed with the title in silver, containing sixteen letterpress
cards, each printed with a figure of speech. A useful work for the intelligence of authors.
Available from Book Works:
L'Imaginaire L'Imaginaire is a silver compact,app'aring blank on opening, but when opened at the correct
angle the word 'moi' appears as a reflection, addresses
the way the ego develops through the mirror stage. It evokes ideas
of narcissism and vanity (with a seductive quality). The edition is hand
produced at Book Works and presented in a silk-covered and lined box with silver
blocking.
Mes Tendresses Mes Tendresses is a magnifying glass mounted
in a sumptuous moiré patterned box, lined in one of three
different coloured velvets. A closer look reveals that regular glass
has replaced the magnifying glass, transforming a functional object
into sculpture. The glass is engraved with three inscriptions: 'Mon
Amour', 'Mon Coeur', and 'Mon Âme' - a poignant comment on the way love
at first sight obscures true vision. Épuisé.
Fragments d'une Correspondance Littéraire Fragments d'une Correspondance Littéraire is an exquisite
edition that is available in two versions that display a sensuous use
of materials: as a bound volume of texts covered in straight grain
leather and as a loose print folio covered in purple book cloth. Fragments
d'une Correspondance Littéraire takes fragments from the
letters of Denis Diderot, the French philosopher and chief editor of
the 'l'Encyclopédie', one of the principal literary monuments of the
Age of Enlightenment, to his lover Sophie Volland. In this work, that
continues her preoccupation with the correspondence of Diderot and
Volland, Sharon Kivland has created a work that exists both as a social
document and as a record of an extraordinary love affair.
J'appelle un chat un chat Sharon Kivland's interests in Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis have
resulted in a number of works that explore these themes. J'appelle un
chat un chat contains extracts from Freud's 'Fragments of an Analysis
of a Case of Hysteria, (Dora)', followed by the names, in French, for
ten shades of lipstick. These names, including Flamboyant, Fou-rire
and Imaginaire can also be read as states of emotions or female attributes.
Épuisé.
Lettre a l'aveugle Silver-topped glass inkwell, engraved silver pen: ou il n'y aura rien, lisez que je vous aime (where there is nothing, read that I love you). Edition of 3, each in a handmade violet box, lined with an eighteenth-century paper Épuisé.
