Bat-Ami Rivlin included in "The Socrates Annual 2023" exhibition opening this Saturday

From an abandoned landfill to an art space, a public park and outdoor venue, Socrates is a space that has thrived on changes. For this year, The Socrates Annual 2023 Fellowship prompted artists to create artwork from the theme “transformation.”

The Socrates Annual exhibition marks the culmination of the 2023 Socrates Annual Fellowship awarded to six artists, Ashley Harris, Ndivhuho Rasengani, Bat-Ami Rivlin, Kate Rusek, Maryam Turkey, and Stefania Urist. This competitive program provides funding, access to the Park’s outdoor studio, and the production support needed to realize ambitious public artworks. These five projects reflect on diverse stages of growth, change, and renewal while also invoking a keen understanding of how visitors use this space, informed by the artists' firsthand experience fabricating these works on-site over the summer. Many of these works are constructed with found and recycled materials that have been ingeniously repurposed, breathing new life into objects that were once discarded or considered undesirable. Collectively, these artists compel us to value the histories embedded in materials and the surrounding landscape.

The exhibition is organized by Socrates Sculpture Park and curated by Kaitlin Garcia-Maestas, Curator & Director of Exhibitions. — text via Socrates Sculpture Park

A prolific artist in many mediums, Dieter Roth may have made his most important, lasting, and influential contributions in the area of prints, books, and multiples. Challenging traditional notions about what art can be and blurring the boundaries between mediums, he forged innovative approaches to techniques, formats, and materials: he sent slices of greasy sausage and cheese through the printing press, stuck strips of licorice onto etchings, and glued croissants onto the covers of his book works.

Roth’s experiments with books include pages that can be shuffled and reordered, miniature volumes, and his most radical effort, his Literature Sausages, each of which consists of a sausage made in accordance with a traditional recipe calling for ingredients such as salt, garlic, and fennel, but with one critical substitution: a minced printed publication in place of meat. The mixture was stuffed into a sausage casing, and the resulting object playfully proposes to viewers and readers another means by which information may be ingested and digested. Each Literature Sausage (Literaturwurst in German) is unique—different in shape and size and containing a different book, magazine, or newspaper. This example was made from a German edition of US senator Robert F. Kennedy’s 1967 volume of essays To Seek a Newer World. Its organic contents are bound to rot and molder over time, embodying the artist’s embrace of metamorphosis and decomposition.
