Tine Melzer: Publishing, Bookmaking and Language Games as Autonomous Practice

 

In this lecture, Tine Melzer speaks about her practice as author of autonomous book publications, collaborative projects and language-based visual works.

Based on her award-winning book Taxidermy for Language-Animals she examines language fragments from different practices—philosophy, literature, visual art—by exploiting some of our linguistic habits and tools. Her main practice is writing and making books. She is associate professor at the HKB University of the Arts Bern where she currently researches phenomena of Aspect Change. Her work is exhibited and published internationally.
