Zustand: Sehr gut. 66 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Introductory essay by Martin Kemp entitled 'Works on sight'. - A sense of sight is central to Kate Whiteford's vision, just as the sense of sight itself is crucial to her artistic means. To say the sense of sight is crucial to a practitioner of the visual arts may seem…to be the most unrewarding of truisms, but by referring to sight in relation to her art, I am not thinking just of artefacts made to be seen but more broadly of her exploitation of the act of seeing as a process which not only involves the optical aspects of our perceptual apparatus but also integrally embodies a rich series of allusions, associations, meanings and memories. She brings this rich amalgam of illusion and allusion into being through specific sites or locations - the sites which have survived as traces from the historic past, such as the haunting remains of the overwhelmed city at Pompeii, and the sites which she invents as new arenas in which we can exercise our compulsion to make sense of form and colour. Alois Reigl, the great nineteenth-century German art historian, talked of our Kunstwollen - our will to form - our propensity in works of art to express our experience through ordered configurations and archetypal shapes. Whiteford may, in a complementary manner, be seen as exploiting a will to meaning; that is to say, the proclivity through which arrangements of shapes and colours have, for generations of peoples in diverse civilisations, not only acted as conventional signs of transcendental truths, but also come to exert power in their own right.
