Savvas Christodoulides
Works and Days of Hands
30th Biennial of Sao Paulo 2012

      

Savvas Christolides

The book Works and Days of Hands was issued on the occasion of the participation by Savvas Christodoulides in the 30th Biennial of Sao Paulo. It contains twenty artworks of the period 2006-2012, chosen for this event by the curator of the Biennale, Luis Perez Oramas.

Featured are collages as well as small and large-scale structures. The works, in their entirety, not only comply with the theme of the Biennial, The Imminence of Poetics, but are also leading examples of the artist’s work: readymade items discard their state of expediency to become components in the artwork, thereby conforming to new ideological principles and values.

The title of the publication is taken from a verse by TS Eliot wherein works and days, that is to say, time, are considered as obeying and being subject to the body. In other words, the work – and the instance of its creation – is the fruit of a gesture made by the body and, in consequence, of the mind.
