Your Best Interest Is My Priority, So Stop Ignoring Me, You Can’t
Koenraad Dedobbeleer
Published by Keijiban, Kanazawa, 2022, edition of 77 numbered copies, twelve postcards in a paper folder and wrap-around band (colour & b/w ill.), 14 × 18.3 cm (folded), 32 × 24.2 (unfolded), English
Price: €76

Dedobbeleer is known for his sculptures and installations in which everyday objects (such as lamp, key holder, door knob, or plant pot) are modified, assembled, and recontextualized with a distinctive tongue-in-cheek—and at times even burlesque—spirit. Adorned with absurd (randomly chosen) titles, his works can be seen as joyful collisions of language and matter. Yet, this approach is not merely an act of formal entertainment. Nourished by an in-depth knowledge of art history and (seemingly) inexhaustible technical resources, the artist’s work establishes an ongoing dialogue with a broader tradition of sculpture, including its relation to architecture, industrial design, DIY culture, images, and book making.

A Shrine to Aphrodite
Philipp Gufler
Published by Hammann von Mier Verlag, München, 2023, 78 pp. with 16 silkscreen printed mirror papers (colour & b/w ill.), 22.5 × 29.7 cm, English/German
Price: €100

The human body is a central focus in Philipp Gufler’s mirror painting series. Looking at the work, the spectator is confronted with their own image. To make these works Gufler uses a silkscreen printing technique on mirrored glass in order to produce layers of translucent pigment.

“Gufler’s ‘mirrorical’ art passes through the looking glass; his spaces are traps for the gaze. The reflective surfaces and diaphanous scrims in his oeuvre function as projection screens and as obstacles in games of identification and disidentification; recognition and misrecognition; self-performance and self-alienation.“ Sven Lütticken. Designed by Sabo Day.

Brian Eno
Lucy McKenzie
Published by Revolver Publishing, Berlin, 2003, invitation card, stapled pamphlet, 4 postcards, 4 folded posters, flat-lay maquette sheets in box (colour & b/w ill.), 22 × 30 cm, English

Brian Eno was the first institutional solo exhibition by Scottish artist Lucy McKenzie at the Neuer Aachener Kunstverein, February 23 – April 27, 2003.

The installation of trompe l’oeil murals and screen-printed posters as well as drawings, sound and light took the symbolic figure Brian Eno as its starting point. As an extraordinary musician, educator, visual artist and “communications advisor” to British New Labor, Eno is emblematic of common debates about avant-garde and quality. Lucy McKenzie used this discourse as a background for her own interpretations of such questions, especially questions that concern functionalism.
