LABYRINTH, STOCKHOLM

If you happen to be in Stockholm over the holidays, be sure to go out to the Botkyrka Konsthall and check out a show I'm in there called, Labyrinth. I have a text piece in the Free Press Project curated by Sal Randolph. A description of the show follows:

Labyrinth, a large-scale international artist´s book exhibition opens at Botkyrka Konsthall on November 18th 2006.

More than one hundred artists or artists’ collectives from different countries – Japan, Rumania, Turkey, Israel, Singapore and the United States to name a few – are included in the show.

One of the challenges when producing exhibitions is the cost of shipping and freights. In Labyrinth artists have sent their works by mail, and curators and artists on residencies abroad have carried works with them in their hand luggage. Most of the works are recent, many of them have been made with Labyrinth in mind. Included are well-known names within the artists’ book genre such as Clémentine Deliss, Leif Elggren, Luca Frei, Karl Holmqvist, Nina Katchadourian, Masato Nakamura and Gil Marco Shani. The visitor is also introduced to many of the most important artist’s book distributors around the world.

Labyrinth has the shape of a circular library. The novels Library of Babel and The Garden of Forking Paths by the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges have been a source of inspiration.
