It includes ten text pieces and a multitude of illustrations and can be read as an oblique appendix to the artists debut monograph, Nothing But Clouds. The artist's approach to writing is similarly detached, drawing inspiration from and physically dissecting science fiction books of the recent past. Through this formal process, the artist builds a critique of society's relationship with technology and offers premonitions of the not-so-distant future. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 June 2021\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5b\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe word ‘ark,as in Noahs Ark,derives from the Latin word for box,arca.  And this box was also some kind of archive structure.  A heritage backup.  The concept of reproduction is crucial for Noahs Ark.  Two of every kind shall ensure survival.  The significance of reproduction pertains to archives as well. Archives were an axiom of heritage.  For everything eventually falls into ruin… and my archive,such as the work related to it – collecting and assembling material,for instance in a book – all this I also understand as a kind of ship,a container for the future of our present.  It helps me to think of our present as of the past of the future. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Kind of Ship is a bilingual reader that presents an introduction to Jurotschkins wider practice,encompassing collage,writing,photography and sculpture. Including ten text pieces and a multitude of illustrations,the volume provides an insight into the artists creative processes,and can be read as an oblique appendix to the artists debut monograph Nothing But Clouds (MACK,London,2017).Writing on her work in 2018,Loring Knoblauch observed that “its not that Jurotschkins photographs are abstract,because theyre not; they show us actual visual snippets of our collective modern world.  But the images have been roughly stripped of context,and composed in such a manner so as to highlight their formal qualities rather than their subject matter.  There is a detached aloofness to her point of view that keeps us at arms length,as though she was looking at the world with a searching scientific eye,almost as a foreigner might.  Each picture feels intentionally reduced,not in the sense of being made physically smaller,but in terms of removing most of the informational (and em.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 202g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 128 x 193 x 14 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783949503009                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kristina Jurotschkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44093548462330,"sku":"9783949503009","price":9.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/kind-of-ship","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
