BRIAN DETTMER (Naperville, Illinois. 1974). "Paper-desk," 2007. Mixed media. Signed, titled and dated. Measurements: 47 x 46.5 x 10.5 cm. 49 x 99 x 13 cm. (with urn). Brian Dettmer became known for his surprising alterations of paper supports, such as old books, newspapers and maps, to create a new work. It is in this vein that the present work is situated, an abstract and textured composition that originates from recycling. Much of Dettmer's current work consists of altering books, such as old dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, science and engineering books, art books, medical guides, history books, atlases, comics, wallpaper samplers and others. Dettmer stamps and trims the books, exposing selected images and text to create intricate three-dimensional derivative works that reveal new or alternative interpretations of the books. Dettmer never inserts or displaces the content of the books (Moayeri 2008). This process is carried out with no pre-planning or tracing of the contents before cutting the book (Cullum 2010). While cutting away the unwanted material with knives, tweezers and surgical tools, Dettmer stabilizes the remaining paper with a varnish (Fox 2009). An early example of Dettmer's altered books is his 2003 work, New International Dictionary, an original 1947 unabridged dictionary, stamped and cut to expose images within the dictionary (Sundell 2005, at p. 70). Dettmer has subsequently expanded his process by folding, creasing, folding, rolling or stacking one or more books before sealing and cutting them or, in some cases, sanding them to create various forms. Dettmer has also constructed larger sculptures using complete sets of encyclopedias and other reference books. Other notable examples of media transformed by Dettmer include music cassette tapes melted down and turned into a life-size human skeleton (Tyson 2007) and various animal skulls; cut-up and overlaid road maps of the United States and the Middle East (Packer 2005) and three-dimensional map sculptures; VHS videotapes of gangster movies unraveled and turned into funeral flower arrangements; and a controversial reconfiguration of audio excerpts from George W. Bush's 2002 State of the Union Address (Feigly 2003) (Feigly 2003). Brian Dettmer's work has been published and exhibited widely in museums, art centers and galleries around the world, including the Smithsonian (Washington D.C. ), Museum of Arts and Design (New York), Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (Virginia), Museum of Contemporary Art (Georgia), Museum Rijswijh (Netherlands), Wellcome Collection (United Kingdom), Bellevue Arts Museum (Washington), The Kohler Arts Center (Wisconsin), Pérez Art Museum Miami (Florida),[1] and Illinois State Museum (Illinois). His work is in public and private collections in the United States, Latin America, Europe, Australia and Asia.
