this is the first complete monograph about the seminal work of
ryoji ikeda. with superb attention to detail and layout, the
publication documents the artistÆs latest projects and includes
brand-new artwork especially produced for the book. at the same
time, formula covers ikedaÆs landmark concerts and installations;
and his collaborations with, amongst others, celebrated
artist/musician carsten nicolai, acclaimed performance group dumb
type and famous architect toyo ito. all of the dvd content is only
available here, with a 35 minute full video documentation of
formula [prototype] concert filmed in tokyo and 8 sound pieces
from installation works. eagerly awaited, the publication comes in
a numbered edition of 3,000. a special limited edition of 100,
available exclusively from forma, will include a new print signed
and numbered by the artist. not only the most complete ryoji ikeda
catalogue, formula is an intimately-scaled minimalist artwork in
itself, and an object of desire. how the book is held may cause
the numbers and text, picked out in clear varnish on white page,
to shimmer. every aspect of look and feel has been considered by
the artistÆs critical eye. his superlative production values are
ever-present in the quality of the images and the finish. only
through repeated investigation does the publication begin to
reveal its richness. readers will be able to pore over the
photographs, ponder the schematics and technical data, and enjoy
the spacious listings of performances, exhibitions and releases.
the artistÆs first-rate assembly of data, diagrams and video
stills create moments of graphic intensity that make the white
spaces of the pages surprisingly dynamic. the book is pure
pleasure to hold.
formula [book + dvd] reflects precise design and the artistÆs
flawless selection of surfaces and materials. an exceptional
publication, it provides a æheightened sensory experienceÆ in a
similar way to his concerts, installations and sound works.
