''Words & Pictures'' was an object-based art magazine published between 1994 and 1997, each issue in a signed and numbered limited edition. It was published by British artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard. 〔http://www.iainandjane.com/work/wordsandpictures/index.shtml〕 Complete sets exist in several public collections, including the Tate Gallery in London, the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum,〔http://www.vam.ac.uk/nal/〕 Yale Center for British Art in the USA. More than 200 artists and writers contributed to the project, including several Turner Prize winners.〔http://www.vialibri.net/item_pg/2823199-1997-turner-prize-martin-creed-gavin-turk-and-others-words-pictures.htm〕 ==History== Forsyth and Pollard launched the magazine with a low-key pilot issue, while they were students at Goldsmiths College. They were influenced by the DIY ethic of punk and fanzines being produced in the British independent music scene.〔(SPC )〕 The first issue was launched at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in November 1994. It included contributions from 35 artists, who each hand-made their contribution in a limited edition of 100 copies, which are each signed and numbered by the artist. The 'object-magazine' was contained inside an A5 sized cardboard box. Also inside each box was a printed booklet produced by Forsyth and Pollard that contained information about each contributor and a specially commissioned preface and introductory text. Issues 2-9 included contributions from 20 artists, with issue 10 returning to the format of issue 1 and including 35 artists. The magazine was published three times per year until November 1997 when the final issue was again launched at the ICA in London. Every issue of the magazine was accompanied by a launch party, some of which included live music and performances from some of the contributors. Launch venues included the Artist Book Fair at the Royal Festival Hall, The Cabinet Gallery in Brixton, The Serpentine Gallery Bookshop, the Barbican Centre and the Eagle Gallery in Farringdon. Although named only ''Words & Pictures'' for the pilot issue, from issue 1 onwards the title was expanded to include a phrase created by Momus in his preface text for the issue, giving the project the full title it would be known by for the remaining ten issues: ''Words & Pictures - Ultra-Paranoid (Extra-Spatial) Portable Art!'' 〔(Words and Pictures )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Words & Pictures」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
