Beyond Kiosk - Modes of Multiplication
Beyond Kiosk - Modes of Multiplication
15 Mar – 13 Sep 2009
Mudam, Luxembourg
Curated by Christoph Keller
Exhibition design by Martino Gamper
This on-going project, initiated by German publisher and designer Christoph Keller, who founded the publishing company Revolver, is a travelling exhibition focusing on independent publishing in the fields of contemporary art, design and graphic design. It’s starting point is Kiosk, an expending archive, which gathers today over 6.000 publications – artists’ books, catalogues, magazines, videos, audio works – and which travelled to more than twenty institutions all over the world since 2001, including the Frankfurter Kunstverein, Witte de With in Rotterdam, ICA in London and Artists’ Space in New York City. Beyond Kiosk has been thought of as a curated selection from this archive, aiming at showcasing the most relevant examples of independent publishing in contemporary art. It gathers around 700 publications from 250 publishers as varied as Book Works, Dot Dot Dot, Vier5, Printed Matter Inc. and Zédélé Éditions. For each presentation of Beyond Kiosk, a designer or artist is commissioned to develop a new display for the exhibition. Mudam has invited English designer Martino Gamper, whose recent project 100 Chairs in 100 Days at the London Design Museum in 2007, as well as his participation at Manifesta 7 in 2008, attracted a lot of attention, to imagine the exhibition design.
