‘To C.L.S.’, ‘For A.L.M.’, ‘In Memory of J.V.C.’ – Starting from his collection of three-letter dedications, Robin Waart’s new artist book “Dedication(s)” looks at public yet hidden modes of address. While these dedications appear in printed books, they remain private, intimate allusions between author and intended recipient. The project infers the strange position of the reader who encounters these cryptic dedications, which perhaps get in the way of—or better clarify?—the relationship between author and audience. Waart’s project questions the relationship between a work and the reality in which it comes about, and why, and for whom, we make what we make.

致C.L.S.”、”为A.L.M.”、”纪念J.V.C.”–从他收集的三个字母的献词开始，Robin Waart的新艺术家书 “献词（s）”着眼于公开但隐藏的地址模式。虽然这些献词出现在印刷书籍中，但它们仍然是作者和预期收件人之间的私人、亲密的典故。该项目推断出遇到这些神秘的献词的读者的奇怪处境，这些献词也许妨碍了作者和观众之间的关系，或者最好是澄清了这种关系。 Waart的项目质疑作品和它所处的现实之间的关系，以及为什么我们要做什么，为谁做。
