In a presentational model seeking to discover more about relations between different formats of artistic production, printed products were presented alongside recent works of the artists. These works functioned as counter parts of the book presentation.
Mat Collishaw, Merijn O. Bolink and Liza May Post presented their publications, published by Artimo, a private art supporting foundation in Holland.
The fragmentary novel based on locations and surfaces, ‘Big Conference Center’, produced in collaboration of Kunstverein Ludwigsburg and Orchard Gallery, London, by Liam Gillick, was shown together with his ‘The What If? Scenario Dining Table,’ a blue table tennis table sprinkled with silver glitter from 1996. Yvonne Trapp showed a fragment of her documentation on the subject of the ‘male muse’ collected in ‘Das Museum des Verschwindens/The Museum of Disappearance/Le Musée de la Disparition’. A videotape and poster showed her attempt to make this collection disappear. With the book project ‘group.sex’ Eva Grubinger took on the role of the editor, carefully assembling essays on group dynamics from the late nineteenth century to the Nineties. Her initial interactive work for the book, ‘Sacher Torture’, complemented the presentation.
