Op de postkaart staat vermeld hoe het kunstwerk gepresenteerd moet worden. Om het werk te realiseren moet men de dia van de pronkslee reproduceren tot tachtig exemplaren en deze moeten in een ronddraaiende diaprojector worden gezet. De projector moet geplaatst worden op een kinderslee en gericht worden op een witte muur zodat het beeld van de Prunkschlitten op de muur verschijnt.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eGraham eigent zich hier (het beeld van) de pronkslee toe en transformeert het in een nieuw kunstwerk. Het klassiek aandoende element, de afbeelding van de pronkslee, wordt door Graham geannexeerd en ondergaat verschillende bewerkingen: de afbeelding wordt eindeloos herhaald en is ontdaan van haar oorspronkelijke context. De relatie tussen het kunstwerk en haar sociale context wordt onderzocht. De kunstenaar heeft een poging gedaan om de materi\u0026euml;le en spirituele aspecten van het werk te verenigen. De kinderslee, een concreet feitelijk voorwerp, geeft aanleiding tot een directe ervaring en wordt vaak geassocieerd met een herinnering aan onze kindertijd. Vanuit dit gebeuren glijd je dan als het ware naar de afbeelding van de pronkslee, die haaks op deze ervaring staat en een compleet ander beeld van de werkelijkheid toont.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","description":""}]},{"id":7619,"title":"The System of Landor's Cottage : A Pendant to Poe's Last Tale (Ed.2)","dimensions":"19 x 12.6 cm, 327 p, language: English, publisher: Bruxelles: Gevaert Editions, ISBN: 9782930619026","date_begin":"2012-01-01","material":"ink, paper","short_description":"","art_status_id":13,"legal_status_id":47,"category_id":26,"platform_id":1,"deleted":false,"asset_count":1,"stream_count":0,"collection":"Collection M HKA,  Antwerp","cached_tag_list":"artist novel","publishing_process_id":1,"annotation":"","date_end":null,"reference":"B 2025/588","stream_count_app":12,"permalink":"the-system-of-landor-s-cottage-a-pendant-to-poe-s-last-tale-ed-2","description_ru":null,"description_de":null,"description_es":null,"description_el":null,"short_description_du":null,"short_description_fr":null,"short_description_ru":null,"short_description_de":null,"short_description_es":null,"short_description_el":null,"description_ca":null,"short_description_ca":null,"description_it":null,"short_description_it":null,"cached_primary_asset_url":null,"cached_actor_names":null,"hide_from_json":false,"prev_platform_id":null,"description_uk":null,"short_description_uk":null,"description_tr":null,"short_description_tr":null,"mhka_works":true,"poster_image":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/mhka_ensembles_production/assets/public/000/017/459/large/evibert_20130524_163130_001.jpg?1369406646","poster_credits":"(c)image: M HKA","translations":[{"locale":"en","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiterary synopsis\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe System of Landor\u0026rsquo;s Cottage\u003c/em\u003e is an appropriation and extension of Edgar Allen Poe\u0026#39;s last published story from 1850, \u003cem\u003eLandor\u0026#39;s Cottage\u003c/em\u003e, from its original ten or so pages to more than three hundred. Poe\u0026rsquo;s short story consists almost entirely of description. The narrator wanders an idyllic countryside and becomes lost, stumbling upon a cottage in a valley. The theme of the literary pendant or extension is central to Graham\u0026rsquo;s concept in \u003cem\u003eThe System of Landor\u0026rsquo;s Cottage\u003c/em\u003e. He presents the work as a pendant to Poe\u0026rsquo;s original and extends the first story with a lengthy description of an annex to the house described by Poe. The architectural extension is a metaphor for the literary supplement. This addition is inserted into the original narrative rather than following at the end, and is so much longer than the first story that it threatens to overwhelm it.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraham\u0026#39;s book is part of a larger work, also titled \u003cem\u003eThe System of Landor\u0026rsquo;s Cottage\u003c/em\u003e, which includes an architectural model, drawings and a \u0026#39;dummy book\u0026#39;.
