First exhibited in my 2013 solo installation Foot | Knots, the
Spines series is composed of six sculptural works created to
represent this portion of the book in the super-composite,
ISBN-ed exhibition that inhabited an LES gallery for a month.
Made completely from various recycled books affixed to
12”x90” canvases, the individual works re-imagine poetry as an
ever-changing instantiation of text and can be read in endless
ways. The title for each work, in fact, was created only from
words found in the work.

B I O
Joseph A. W. Quintela is a poet, artist, publisher, and art-
organizer working at the fault lines emergent in the face of
post-textual and post-productive modes of living. With a
particular interest in material excess, systemic collapse, and
generative revitalization, his practice harnesses a fluency in a
variety of media including paint, light, books, text, and culinary
ingredients. Solo exhibitions in New York have included
Portrait of the Cast of You in Eye (Dumbo Sky, 2013) and
FOOT | KNOTS (Project Space Envelope, 2012). He has
organized exhibitions for Undercurrent Projects (Books
Without Words, 2014), Terrazzo Art Projects (Se Cayo Todo,
2014), and the Brooklyn-based Pop-Up initiative
Smith&Jones. Ongoing displays of his work are housed at The
Strand, Central Booking (LES), and Salina’s Restaurant
(Chelsea).
