Gordon Lebredt - Non-works 1975-2008
This is a fascinating exploration of the un-realized works of conceptual artist Gordon Lebredt. Known for its rigorous conceptualism and ambitious materiality, the work of "Gordon Lebredt" (1948-2011) is among North America's most challenging and gratifying. Alongside Lebredt's significant record of exhibitions, publications and interventions is a parallel body of unrealized work - a sprawling hypothetical topology of surfaces, abutments, expanses and disjunctions in which words, objects and images struggle to find and mark their place. This publication collects Lebredt's unrealized proposals from a thirty three-year period - a major retrospective of a body of work that exists only as possibility. Designed and typeset by Lebredt himself, the book contains more than 125 works presented as drawings, schematics and sketches rendered in pencil, ink, spray paint and type.
