Summary
  1. Giorgio Sadotti has drawn from the library of the Henry Moore Institute to create a book centred on the making of a circular hole (navel to closest nipple radius). The book will be launched in London in April, and in May an accompanying exhibition is on show in Gallery 4 at the Henry Moore Institute. The exhibition consists of what is not in the book: the circles which are removed from the original books' pages. While the book itself is the 'frame' - the cut-out holes showing through to the adjoining pages - and the show is the 'part' - the 'whole' can still be found on the library shelves, in the form of the 23 titles which served as Sadotti's source material. These books inevitably focus on the body, as so many art books do, and in particular on the female nude. Individual artists who feature strongly include Bellmer, Dali, Allen Jones, Yves Klein and Rodin, alongside some of the major recent surveys of the body in art.
