fig A “Stack”

A couple of publications (fig. A) kindly featured my work in the past few months.
By no means would I want to single out any of these lovely publications, but I’d like to single out one in particular.

Prepare for Pictopia is the catalog published on the occassion of the “Pictopia” exhibition at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, past March. It’s a beautifully produced book with excellent reproductions of the works in the exhibition, as well as a rich selection of essays and articles. These texts (by writers including artist Paul McCarthy and researcher Brian R. Duffy) provide an understanding of the historic evolvement of the topic of figuration and the broader cultural context the works are part of. I’m very humbled to be part of this publication, it’s the best you can get on the topic.
