ProjecteSD is delighted to present Close-Cropped Tales, a collective exhibition which brings together works by Jochen Lempert, Gilda Mantilla & Raimond Chaves, Susan Philipsz and Isidoro Valcárcel Medina. The exhibition’s title – taken from John Baldessari’s 1981 book – serves to introduce the shared idea which is present in the work of these artists who come from different generations and contexts: the works presented draw their inspiration, conception and formalisation from books of various kinds, be they works of fiction, artist publications or historical texts. The idea of editing, an indispensable element in the process of putting a publication together, and vital in video-cinema language, acts as a conductive thread throughout the show and is present in themes as well as the medium employed to give form to the works.
