Sponsored by the Argentine Consulate of New York, and Punto de Contacto–Point of Contact, Syracuse University Professor Pedro Cuperman and Buenos Aires visual artist Pedro Roth presented a collaborative project–two artist books, one in English: “Midnight Nirvana at Times Square”; and one in Spanish: “No todo es Nirvana en la calle Corrientes, baby.” The presentation took place on Nov. 9, at the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center of New York University.
Twenty original pieces, each an 18-page artist book (10 books in English and 10 in Spanish) combine drawings and photography by Roth, with text by Cuperman. In the words of the artists: “Our project is to expand the idea of illustration and the relationship between the visual and verbal texts by introducing what we call “alternative readings.” The visual artist, no longer a passive illustrator, becomes an active reader, thus constantly generating new meaning.
Cuperman is an associate professor of languages, literature and linguistics in The College of Arts & Sciences.
