Von Mäusen und Menschen

Meer over het boek

This coy, enigmatic object, which falls somewhere between an illustrated anthology of short stories and a scrapbook of a visit to the 2006 Berlin Biennial, presents the works of more than 60 artists in a montage of historical photos, newspaper clippings and reference materials, mixed in with photos of the art itself, including both studio and installation views. The Book, despite its classical design and hardcover binding, is not just a textual complement to the exhibition, not so much a documentation, but an exhibition in book form, an artists' book that makes truly unusual use of texts and images. The 4th Berlin Biennial for Contemporary Art is curated by Maurizio Cattelan, Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick.
