Work Description

Quick Crossword Nº13,692 is an artists’ book by Chilean artist Martín La Roche. This publication is part of the homonymous project in which the artist offers different strategies to solve the Quick Crossword Nº13,692 – originally published by the English newspaper The Guardian – freely taking the quest to editorial, graphic and installation spaces. The 11th version of the project, edited and designed by Naranja Publicaciones, is composed of three elements: a book with hints that puts forward an invitation for intervening the piece; a set of images that act as possible solutions to the hints – images which come from Naranja’s Artists’ Book Collection, and the personal memories of the artist and publishers; and finally, an envelope printed with a text by academic Megumi Andrade Kobayashi, which collects the history of the project and links it with other editorial practices. This edition is limited to 100 numbered copies.
