Jan De Cock develops his oeuvre in time and space, and however taking different forms, it forms one coherent entity.
An important artistic consideration the artist made for the book is the element of the sequence. Books bring the fourth dimension time into art. The artist controls the sequence the viewer has to follow when viewing the work. This is also what De Cock aims at in his sculptural work. The contact between the viewer and the book can be very intense. It is the artist creating a motion, as in cinema. Furthermore, the book is a 'gesamtkunstwerk': it is plastic art, graphic art, sculpture, literature and architecture braught together in one object. It is a Trojan horse: people observe a book differently from a work of art.
De Cock's work of the last two years has been included in the book, especially his recent solo-exhibition at Tate Modern occupies a prominent place. This exhibition can be seen as a synthesis of his previous work. It formed an ending to a period and manifested itself meanwhile as a new form of a retrospective. The works itself from the previous period were not rebuilt, but the exhibition showed the acquired insights and the continuously evolving formal language.

Photographically illustrated paper-covered boards; no dust jacket as issued; contained in a photographically illustrated paper-covered slipcase. Artist's book by Jan De Cock.

From the publisher: "Belgian wunderkind Jan De Cock's latest publication is a slowly unfolding, thought-provoking masterwork that reads much like his renowned sculptural installations--which the artist sees as monuments to Modernism, hence the title Denkmal. [The artist] uses structural challenges to the book format to offer an entirely new reading experience. Its large format, variety of papers, special cover treatment and 632 pages conspire to reveal a dense web of images and ideas that cross-reference not only De Cock's own increasingly admired oeuvre but also the entire structure of history into which it is read. Capitalizing on the sequential nature of the book, which the artist likens to film, De Cock guides the reader through this volume much in the way a viewer would experience his sculpture. He presents to the world his Trojan Horse: a book that will certainly be picked up for its cover, but will also draw you into its world of mysteries.". Artikel-Nr. 111817
