About This Item
Amsterdam.: Stichting de Appel., 1985. Artist’s publication. One small clothbound book + two audiotapes, issued in original yellow box.. Box (21.5 x 12 cm).. pp. (95). Around May 15th 1982 the Dutch conceptualist Johan Cornelissen left for Sao Tomè, the island nation of Central Africa, the starting-point of his journey along the equator. During the previous years Cornelissen had carried out several travel-projects which focussed on the relationship between topographical phenomena and reality. During his equatorial trip the artist wanted to confront the abstraction (the line) with the reality of the region where mankind draws that imaginary line. Cornelissen's primary intention was not to follow the imaginary line closely, but the realisation of various artistic activities within the immediate vicinity of the equator. Through De Appel gallery in Amsterdam these works were communicated, distributed by several media, such as newspapers, radio, print. De Appel produced this artist’s publication in 1985 marking the conclusion of the project. Published in an edition of 75 it consists of a small book (signed and numbered by the artist) with diary transcriptions in Dutch and English, as well as two audiotapes documenting Cornelissen’s Equatorproject across Africa, Asia, the Pacific and South America.
