Anne Dressen, curator at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, incorporates new archival research into six section texts tracing Blunk’s trajectory from Japan to Northern California, his work from ceramic to stone to wood, and his interests from ecology to ancient archetypes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eNever-before-seen photography and correspondence from the JB Blunk Estate archives present new perspectives, alongside rarely-exhibited maquettes from Blunk’s studio and objects that normally live in the Blunk House. New photography of the objects in situ in the medieval town of Cognac and the remarkable installation, designed by London-based Martino Gamper exclusively for the exhibition, mark this as both a specific moment in Blunk’s legacy and an ongoing collaboration of this innovative artist with his audience around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJB Blunk: Continuum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is edited by the JB Blunk Estate and the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fondationdentreprisemartell.com\/en\/jb-blunk-continuum\/\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFondation d’entreprise Martell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, designed by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kajsa.uk\/\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eKajsa Ståhl of Åbäke\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and printed by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.diekeure.be\/nl-be\/die-keure\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003edie Keure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BACTERIA BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50534868287705,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/2562\/6073\/files\/BACTERIABOOKS_JBBlunkContinuum.jpg?v=1790415013","url":"https:\/\/bacteriabooks.com\/products\/jb-blunk-continuum-catalog","provider":"BACTERIA BOOKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
