Shaping everyday landscapes from cities to factories, the grid - an arrangement of individual elements along perpendicular lines - has been a basic structure of modern life. The matrix, in contrast, pushes the grid into the digital frontier, freeing it from its confinement to two dimensions. Featuring bold new essays by Sabine Eckmann and Lutz Koepnick, curators of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum exhibition that shares its name, "[Grid Matrix]" traces the complex relationship of these different yet intertwined methods of organizing the visual world and how we represent it in art. The inaugural volume of the Museum's Screen Arts and New Media Aesthetics series of special exhibitions and publications, "[Grid Matrix]" explores the continuities and ruptures between the analog and the digital, and between the organizational principles of older and newer media. It examines the ubiquity of screens in contemporary life and illuminates the impact of the digital on artistic practice and aesthetic experience alike.

Seller's Description:
VG. Green & black & illus. wraps, 80 pp., color illus. Issued in conjunction with a 2006 exhibition in this series. "It traces two different but closely related modes of organizing the visible world and its aesthetic representations. In analog cultures, the notion of the grid empowers the production of images that claim universal authority. Most often static in nature, grid-like structures, spaces, and images approach the viewer as immediately recognizable and hence devoid of unwanted surprises. Digitally-based matrices, by way of contrast, set the modernist grid into motion. They have the ability to catalyze visual expressions and experiences that, in spite of their algorithmic foundations, aim at open-ended and often unpredictable transformation. Grid and matrix, as presented in this exhibition, form a central dialectic of modernist and postmodernist culture. The exhibition's aim is not to tell a story of linear historical progress, but to explore continuities and ruptures between the analog and the digital, between the organizational principles of older and newer media." (intro) With essays by Patience Graybill, Sabine Eckmann, Gwyneth Cliver, and Lutz Koepnick, illustrations, and an exhibition checklist of 16 items.
