Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Lili Dujourie at Bonner Kunstverein, 8 December, 1989–11 February, 1990; Centre National d’Art Contemporain–Magasin, Grenoble, 13 May–24 June, 1990 and daadgalerie, Berlin, September–October, 1990.

The work of Lili Dujourie provokes an astutely intellectual yet poetic engagement with the world around us through various mediums, from painting and sculpture, to photography, collage, video and installation. Dujourie operates at the intersection of minimalism and conceptualism, consistently and systematically challenging the subject position of the viewer through clever experimentation with material and form.

Produced on the occasion of Michael Asher’s exhibition proposal for Le Nouveau Musée, Villeurbanne, a collaboration between the artist and various public housing organisations in Lyon, France.

Produced on the occasion of Jochen Lempert’s exhibition Hochsommerliche Aerosole at Richas Digest, Köln, 14 August–5 September 2020

Jochen Lempert photographs the animal world in the most diverse contexts: from their natural habitat to the museum of natural history, from the zoo to the urban environment, in remote places or banal settings and situations. Lempert compiles his findings in a vast archive of images covering an ample spectrum, from common everyday views, to compositions that tend towards abstraction. This interest in the natural world as a subject has been further complemented by his exploration of the properties and materiality of the photographic image. Analogue, black and white, hand-printed in the darkroom, his photographs resist categorization and confront the canons of today’s aesthetic.

Produced on the occasion of Joëlle Tuerlinckx’s exhibition Nothing for Eternity at Kunstmuseum Basel, 15 October, 2016–17 April, 2017.

Many of Tuerlinckx’s works originate in the artist’s gigantic archive. In addition to her own drawings, collages, photographs, and texts, it also contains objets trouvés, newspaper photographs, and the bric-a-brac of everyday life. Employing artistic approaches that Tuerlinckx, who was born in Brussels in 1958, describes in a dedicated “lexicon,” she alters the materials, dimensions, and appearance of these objects, transforming their reality and purport.

Sweat brings together images of sweat forms taken by Alex Farrar and collated from Instagram, celebrity websites and photo libraries. Stock and staged imagery are displayed alongside paparazzi shots and documentary images. The suggestion of a figure builds accumulatively as we flick through the pages, our eyes grow accustomed to seeing a body that is never fully explicated. Why sweat?’ Hand numbered in an edition of 150.
