The Nomadic Exhibition Collector’s
Album functions both as a catalogue of the Nomadic Exhibition and
as an artist's book. It contains the full series of 42 self-adhesive
screenprinted cards from Veroni’s itinerant exhibition around
the city of Buenos Aires between August 1990 and January 1991.
These 11.3 x 8.1 cm screenprints - or ‘little
collector’s cards’ as RV terms them - were ‘exhibited’
in public transport, phones and toilets. Individuals who stuck their
cards in personal diaries, on refrigerators, etc. were the exhibition’s
‘private collectors’.
The pages were screenprinted in imitation of the
style of the children’s sticker or card collection albums
of the 60’s and 70’s. In Nomadic Exhibition
Collector’s Album, RV’s original screenprints are stuck
directly onto the pages, in playful reference to the children who
rushed to be the first to fill their album and win a prize.
The Nomadic Exhibition Collector’s
Album is sized 22 x 14 cm, but unfolds page by page to allow the
viewer to see both sides and the 42 designs altogether. Unfolded,
the full size of the work is 22 x 158.3 cm. In the last fold, there
is a photocopied notebook of exhibition itinerary, detailing the
locations where the stickers were ‘exhibited’ and the
names of the ‘collectors’ who own them.
The Nomadic Exhibition Collector’s
Album is an edition of 80. It was printed in RV’ studio on
Pedro Goyena Street during February 1991.
