Tris Vonna-Michell

Book presentation at Mount Analogue on Wednesday 15 February, 7-10 pm
For the occasion the book will be displayed in an expanded form

The stories and the visual material assembled in this book by Tris Vonna-Michell marks a continuation and implementation of his artistic practice through the medium of an artist’s book. In his works, images, sound, light, and the most ordinary objects become the material of a totally individual experience where reality and fiction merge, and journey, memories, and invention coexist. The stories and the visual material assembled in this book originated and began their evolution in 2003. Since 2008, they have been gradually modified and further expanded in a series of projects at, among others, Kunsthalle Zürich, GAMeC Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo, Halle für Kunst Lüneburg eV, and the Fondazione Galleria Civica Centro di Ricerca sulla Contemporaneità di Trento.

Behind an identical cover, the seemingly ”same” is presented in two variations that were developed through performative improvisations over earlier text versions, and repositioning of images and inserts. The two variations were pendently constructed; book I began in November 2009 at Halle für Kunst in Lüneburg, in which several chapters, texts and images were printed on a Heidelberg GTO printing press on a daily basis during the exhibition ”Capstans”. In 2010 book II began as a revisitation and expansion the first variation, in which the previous narratives, images and inserts were reconstructed.

Excerpts from the publication

ak28 revisited and three parallel visions

ak28 was a self-organised, primarily self-funded, collective of artists, architects and curators, which ran a space for exhibiting artistic practices in Stockholm between 2003 – 2009. This book combines the legacy of ak28 with the presentation of three individual artistic stances derived from varying collaborative experiences. These initiatives operate in the same non-profit sphere as ak28, but on different, or rather parallel premises. These are Elysa Lozano for Autonomous Organization, based in New York, John W. Fail from Ptarmigan Helsinki/Tallin and Ola Ståhl, from what was a loosely London-based artist collective, C.CRED.
