Meer over het boek

At once poetic and critical, cruel and confessional, internationally known Frenchartist Michel Auder's casually virtuosic videos have for over five decades disruptedtraditional perceptual habits of moviegoers and art audiences alike, subvertingnotions of filmic narrative and process. Employing new video formats as theybecome available, the New York based Auder has produced short and featurefilms, video installations and photography that transgress genres, borrowingfrom art history, literature, commercial television, and experimental cinema, andwas most recently featured at the 2014 Whitney Biennial. The richly illustratedmonograph/artist book includes Twenty Film-Poems for M. Auder, a series ofmini-essays on selected videos by Basel-based American poet and critic QuinnLatimer, and an extensive interview with the artist by Kunsthalle Basel directorAdam Szymczyk, and a catalogue raisonné of Auder's video works. The uniquedesign, including a cut-out cover, creates an exciting visual experience whileviewing the rich contents.
