Artist Book (Unique): Mixed media on lined notebook
Variable dimensions

This book by António Gonçalves (b. 1975) emerges from the appropriation of a pre-existing lined notebook. Subverting the rigid order of the lines, António populates the pages with a dense dialogue between spontaneous writing and visceral drawing. The artist intervenes in the paper’s anatomy through precise cut-outs and insets that create unexpected windows between pages. These layers allow fragments of sketches or text to bleed into one another. By treating the book as a three-dimensional territory rather than a flat surface, Gonçalves turns the act of flipping a page into a tactile discovery.
