- The book ‘Conversation in Letters and Lines: William Kentridge and Vivienne Koorland’ was designed to accompany the eponymous exhibition at the Fruitmarket Gallery (2015-2016). Although the book stands alone as the first account of the synergies, formal and thematic, between these artists, allowing their mutual interest in maps, materials, archives, texts and historical residues, to be revealed, it also provides a theoretical justification and roadmap for the viewer. This dossier includes the book itself, edited by the curator Tamar Garb, and including her lengthy introductory essay plus a conversation with the artists and four ‘appreciations’ by scholars, commissioned and edited by Garb. Included too are the exhibition guide and report issued by the Fruitmarket, a link to the official online video which includes installation shots, a copy of a documentary film screened alongside the show and a selection of reviews. The exhibition was conceived entirely by Garb who selected the artworks and worked closely with Fiona Bradley, Director of the Fruitmarket, to design the installation. Central to the show was the vitrine, placed at its ‘spine’ which demonstrated the deep connections between Koorland and Kentridge by intertwining works on paper, sources, books and archival materials. Taken together, book and show, complement one another and produce the whole package of this submission.
