Inspirational Artist :: Deconstruction
Off to Austria!
Austrian artist Jochen Höller, creates some truly beautiful collages. Made of deconstructed books or other typed material, his work is a nice fusion of both imagery and narrative.
A collection of his work is on display at MAM Mario Mauroner Contemporary Art in Salzburg through June 30th.

Inspirational Artists :: Altered Books
American contemporary artist Brian Dettmer alters pre-existing books. By making precise cuts, he exposes select images and text that reveal alternative interpretations of the book.
The kicker :: Dettmer never inserts or moves any of the books' contents...only removes. Isn't his precision insane?!
