Manifest exhibits many kinds of works, from more conceptual and experimental art tothe traditional. In fact we think it's important to have such a range in our repertoire. Itis something that Manifest is known for.
Our annual projects allow us the chance to track how artists around the world addressa common theme, subject, or media over time, or allow us to document the state ofart in a particular strata of professional activity, and to study and preserve our findingsin a meaningful way through our publications.
NUDE is one such project. The human body is a popular subject for many reasons, themost obvious being that it is us.
Throughout history the representation of the human form has been charged withtremendous energy. Through all the permutations art has experienced across history,work of the body persists. We use the human nude to master skill, understand our-selves, and push social and psychological buttons for the sake of expression.
We intend for Manifest's annual NUDE project to explore how our collective body isused today in art to achieve these goals and more.
This year we received 522 entries from 221 artists from 34 states and 15 countries.Our jury selected 20 works from the following seventeen artists from Georgia, Illinois,Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, NorthCarolina, Pennsylvania, and the countries of Hungary and Scotland.

Artist’s Statement:
This exhibition consists of two artists’ books, Darkfire and The Waiting Room, which I undertook in collaboration with poet Jonathan Hart and designer Sue Colberg. To initiate Darkfire and The Waiting Room,we used themes and poetic images taken from Dante’s Inferno and Purgatory as a common starting point foreach of our image/text pairings (eventually working towards responding to all three volumes of Dante’sfamous work). We share an ongoing interest in the Divine Comedy, as well as with the long history of illustra-tion associated with this work (Blake, Botticelli). The intention was not to illustrate Inferno/Purgatory in thetraditional sense, but rather to use it as a motivation from which we could find common formal and conceptu-al inspiration. More specifically, we were interested in passages in the Divine Comedy, such as Dante’sdescription of the wood of suicides in Canto XIII, or the rain of fire falling upon the shades in Canto XIV, thatare sensual in nature and which describe the human body or an environment in transformation. These com-pelling images, often inspired by earlier classical and medieval myths, have a power that endures incontemporary society in the face of drastic cultural, social and environmental change.
By drawing on the Divine Comedy for inspiration, we built imagined landscapes populated by enigmaticobjects that refer to both mechanistic and naturalistic forms in order to explore themes of mutation, metamorphosis and biology/technology dichotomies. As the viewer/reader moves through Darkfire and TheWaiting Room a dynamic arc is created that reflects the original source of motivation. For example, beginning

with relatively small black and white works, with a naturalisticspace, and then moving towards larger, more open, abstractcompositions. In addition, the artists’ books are designed to suspend viewers between references to history as well as tocontemporary sources. Forms within the prints are renderedthrough a careful use of chiaroscuro and detail, referencing awide range of historic prints including alchemic images andearly scientific plates. At the same time, the prints also containbold, absurd graphic forms that bring viewers back to a verycontemporary context by referencing comics/manga, industrial-ization, and science fiction. Responding to these image/poempairings, Colberg also combines traditional and contemporaryapproaches to book typography and text/image relations withindesign to support the content of the poetry and images in amanner that is understated, yet evocative.
Although the work looks to the past for inspiration, its mergingof mechanistic and organic languages is intended to point view-ers towards a contemporary context in which advancements intechnology are rapidly changing our relationship to the naturalworld, biology, and our own bodies. In a broad sense, then,these artists’ books are intended to encourage individuals toengage in reflection and dialogue about the changing environ-ments of our daily lives. Further, by investigating the formal andconceptual dynamic of relations between text and image,Darkfire and The Waiting Room are a celebration of poetic language and imagery for its own sake, as well as artifacts thatpay homage to the artist’s book as an important part of contem-porary culture.
