Johanknecht, Susan (2011) Baring Antebellum and Bishopsgate Within, City A.M. [Show/Exhibition]

Type of Research:	Show/Exhibition
Creators:	Johanknecht, Susan
Description:	These two artists’ books have emerged from my ongoing research into the archive as a source for particular historic languages and materials in the production of new works. Being invited to participate in a research project funded by The Baring Archive and CCW Graduate School enabled me to work within the Baring bank archive housed at ING bank. Using photographs of bankers, the diary and letters of Joshua Bates, ledgers of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s accounts, and banking records, I was able to explore personal and public relationships between finance, politics and the arts. This research led to the production of Baring Antebellum and Bishopsgate Within, City A.M. which the curator Sarah Bodman selected for the UK section of the international exhibition 9th International Book Art Festival CORRESPONDENCE, presenting works of 84 artists from Europe, USA and Asia and touring Poland 2012 – 2014, and where these books were awarded first prize.
