eady to Change is Polonca Lovsin’s (b. 1970) contribution to the 25th International Biennial of Graphic Arts in Ljubljana. Presented on a platform conceived by Allen Ruppersberg (along with four other titles by Slovenian artists), the book gets her art across as assuredly as any installation could have. Lovsin is interested in how people apply savoir-faire, technology or special know-how to their lives. In this way, the book catalogues a suite of discoveries arranged in categories (building/ growing / adapting / changing / exchanging / collaborating) of which the simple list would outrun the remaining inch of this column. Take an inventor’s fair, a cooking-at-home and a home-improvement television series, a do-it-yourself store and a survival manual, then elevate all of it to a life-style!
