spare room: 48 Pages

Andrea Biller, 48 Pages, March 2004

installation view

For the installation 48 Pages, Biller presented a series of drawings on vellum created to act as a see through book. The viewer was able to look through a series of individual drawings, or pages. As the viewer removed each page from its shallow box the layers disappeared and the 'reading' was complete. This installation was part of an ongoing investigation of the physical properties of texts with the marks of the drawing substituting for the marks of a text.

About spare room

spare room was an innovative do-it-yourself space which showed installation and temporary works. The space was located in a private residence in Baltimore City. Over a three year span, spare room hosted over twenty projects. The works were on view for one night only to a diverse local crowd.

spare room favored process over permanence and encouraged artists to experiment with ideas and materials. The projects created new dialogues across a diverse audience about art, life, and the intersection of the two.

Consider using your own found spaces to grow and show art.
