Revolve:R was initiated in 2011 by Sam Treadaway and Ricarda Vidal
as a multidisciplinary and international collaboration. The project
explores the transmission of ideas through collaborative forms of
communication ranging from the physical and tactile (such as the
sharing of original artworks via the postal service) to the digital
and intangible (which includes a parallel interplay online).
Besides visual artworks, Revolve:R includes poetry, film,
soundscapes and music. The complete work of each Revolve:R edition
is presented as a limited-edition bookwork. Revolve:R: edition
three is available through Intellect. Revolve:R: edition three is
the result of a two-year-long collaboration, between 2016 and 2018,
in which artists, poets, and musicians from around the UK, USA,
Africa and Continental Europe created artworks in reply and
response to one another. During this time many of the artworks
featured have physically travelled many thousands of miles before
coming together in this publication. Edition three is a
continuation of editions one and two (Arrow Bookworks, 2013 and
2015) which explored concepts relating to chaos theory, chance and
synchronicity. The first artwork-page of Revolve:R, edition three
(page 217) references the final artwork sequence from Revolve:R,
edition two (ending on page 216). Throughout the evolution of this
third edition the editors have continued the development of the
initial ideas and working processes that formed the basis and
structure of the original Revolve:R project and have further
reflected upon the nature of collaboration. In doing so their
awareness and consideration of certain parallels and connections
between the artworks has developed their insight into the act of
co-creation and the phenomenon of collective consciousness. Each
Revolve:R edition is formed of six rounds, or Revolves (effectively
forming six chapters within the book), which follow the same
pattern. A single 2D two-sided artwork of 21cm(2) is sent by post,
to a number of invited artists with the request that they respond
with an artwork of their own by a specific date. Thus the initial
artwork sets in motion a multitude of alternative creative
responses reflecting the recipients' various ways of reading,
interpreting and responding. Revolve:R: edition three (Arrow
Bookworks and Intellect, 2019) follows Revolve:R, edition one
(Arrow Bookworks, 2013) and Revolve:R, edition two (Arrow
Bookworks, 2015). All three Revolve:R editions also function as
catalogues, and artworks are available to purchase as high quality
limited edition prints. Further information about the Revolve:R
project, including how to purchase the prints, can be found here:
www.revolve-r.com Revolve:R: edition three is a powerful and
beautiful example of the power of collaborative practice, a vehicle
for new artistic dialogue, and an artwork in its own right.
