The Artist & The Publishers is based on a long ongoing conversation between the artist and saxpublishers, reflecting on artistic processes, exhibition making, documentation and fragmentation.
Referring to the exhibition
Publishing as an Artistic Toolbox: 1989 – 2017 (8 November 2017 – 28 January 2018) at Kunsthalle Wien, the title of the publication quotes a chapter of the show entitled “The Artist & The Publishers.”
The Artist & The Publishers combines installation views of Dunst’s previous artistic production as inlays and spreads. While the inlay images were chosen from Dunst’s documentation archive, Georg Petermichl was commissioned for the spread images.
Over the past years, Dunst has taken photographs—in his private home, studio as well as exhibition spaces—and printed them as a physical archive, showing sequences, formations and configurations of his artistic process.
Taking Dunst’s solo exhibition
Publishing as an Artistic Toolbox: C (28 March – 27 April 2018) at the Gallery of Contemporary Art and Architecture – House of Arts České Budějovice as a starting point, Petermichl kept the white balance provoked by the floor installation’s pink reflection as a reference for the whole documentation. Studying the interactions of light, space and the artworks, Petermichl marks a counterposition towards the practice of contemporary exhibition documentation.
By layering the two positions, works and intentions of institutional context and industrial production appear and re-appear under subjective connotations—differing in size, context, and quality—towards a question of form and representation.
