Birnbaum, Daniel : MAKING WORLDS. Fare Mondi. 53rd International Art Exhibition 2009 Exhibition & Participating Countries Collateral Events

Marsillio, Venice, 2009

2 volumes. Age toned to spines, one bumped to the head with a short tear. Card slipcase has a corner knock and a partly erased pencil marking. Bound and glued originally just to the back cover(DYNAMIC SPINE), some one has added glue at the spine. The new glue is detaching and the binding is resuming its original format. These huge tomes on heavy gloss paper weigh over 2.3 kg packed, postage will exceed the quoted amount VERY significantly particularly if you are overseas.Putting together the prompts and provocations of contemporary art, the catalogue of the 53rd International Art Exhibition in two volumes, one for the national participations and one for the exhibition set up by Daniel Birnbaum, is a genuine conceptual extension to the Biennale. Making Worlds is its key: an analysis of the creative process that leads to the work of art, but also the director's personal pathway that led to the conception of a powerful exhibition. Alongside the documentation of the works shown, it is possible for the first time to 'spy on' the inspiration, the myriad elements of that fantastic puzzle that is an exhibition, through an insert personally edited by Birnbaum. The basic idea of Making Worlds has its final interpretation in the book, thanks to the graphic design by Stockholm Design Lab using simple but high impact visual language consisting of thousands of almost craft details (the decomposition of national flags, the binding, the use of different papers, the variety of covers).
