Old Tjikko is a 9,550 year-old Norway Spruce, located on Fulufjället Mountain of Dalarna province in Sweden. Old Tjikko originally gained fame as the “world’s oldest tree”. Leif Kullman (Professor of Physical Geography at Umeå University who discovered Old Tjikko), attributed this growth spurt to global warming and gave the tree its nickname “Old Tjikko” after his late dog.This publication acts as a memorial of sorts to the original Tjikko.

Early Summer The End of Summer Late Autumn is a monographic book presenting the cumulative result of a three-partite project by Daniel Gustav Cramer and Haris Epaminonda. The two artists collaborated on a triptych of exhibitions that had as its starting point a series of observations and interpretations on the work of Japanese filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu. Late Autumn (Samsa, Berlin, 2010), The End of Summer (dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel, 2012) and Early Summer (Kunsthalle Lissabon, Lisbon, 2012) were intended as a single, larger project in which Ozu’s way of composing image and time was addressed and explored by the artists in an ongoing narrative that intersects all three exhibitions. This monograph, co-published with Kunsthalle Lissabon, thus not only constitutes the afterlife of their project, but also and above all, its conclusion. The book has become the only place in which the visual narrative conceived by the artists is made visible; through the book, space and time are finally aligned, thereby allowing readers to gain a more comprehensive insight into the project’s scope, which up until this point had only ever been partially understandable, as an inevitable result of the segmented nature of each individual exhibition.
The works of Daniel Gustav Cramer are based on accurate observations of ‘invisible’ moments that only reveal themselves at a second glance. In his photographs, text works and books, he depicts structured systems as well as personal experiences; large scale objects are next to the smallest ones, nothing is obvious. The work opens up in reflection.
Thirty-Six presents thirty-six works by Daniel Gustav Cramer in the restricted space of a book. It is an exhibition of Cramer’s works in its own right, that exceeds mere documentation and makes for multi-faceted new associations and moods.
Thirty-Six was published as part of the exhibitions Eight Works at Dortmunder Kunstverein, Germany and Six Works at the Return, Dublin, Ireland. The publication is a continuation of the recent exhibition series.
