Produced on the occasion of the exhibition of the work lux principum by Noah Barker at Aedicula Raffaella Cortese, Albisola Superiore (SV), Italy, 2023. A stainless-steel light supplemented with an annotated design manual, the work aimed to provide advice or guidance for a potential leader in the medieval genre of “mirror for princes”. In substituting the furnishing of reflection for illumination, the light accounts for political structure in western democracies today. Printed in an edition of 200.

A bestiary of agencies, kinds of relatings, and scores of time.

Henrik Olesen’s R.R. originates in his reading of Donna Haraway’s The Companion Species Manifesto. Through her, Olesen reimagines Robert Rauschenberg’s ‘Monogram’ using found images of interspecies attachments overlaid with painterly gestures that are both childish and fevered.

Printed on a lightweight, soft, ink-absorbing paper stock, these images are then partially overlaid with hand collaged tip-ins. In an edition of 65. Numbered and signed.
