To make something public.

Ways of sharing thoughts, practices, experiences, visions.

A publication is often described as ‘making something public’. When holding fragments and/or traces of embodied practices, the traditional book format can document past activity, extend it in time, and ignite something else. Artists may write about, with, and through their practices, inviting the readers to shift attention beyond the pages. Some publications invoke the surroundings, the invisible, and whatever could be there. A page may even suggest being dropped and expanded toward the outdoors.

When a publication does not explain an artistic practice, how can it approximate the reader to it?
If there is generosity in clarity, how can artists grasp what clarity could be, within the universes they wish to propose?

Besides tangible publications as we know them - books, zines and variations, which possible formats could perform as publications? What else could a book become?

Let’s talk about it on Saturday! Fika will be provided 💜

Hosted by with support from Ideell kulturallians 🙏🏼

In connection with the critically acclaimed performance "Livre d’images sans images" , we've gathered publications from the library by Mette Edvardsen for you to explore. 💜

You'll find various works, including those from the ongoing "Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine" project and pieces from Edvardsen's and Jeroen Peeters' independent publishing house, Varamo Press

Don't forget to take a peek and enjoy them in the foyer before/after the shows on Saturday and Sunday.

Happy reading! 📚📚

Ps. Thank you for donating so many of your publications to the library 🧡
