Déjà Vu

Library Exhibition

09/11/2010 - 11/02/2011
Location: Van Abbemuseum: Library

Déjà Vu discusses a tendency in the history of artist books in which publications are put together with pictures of found objects. These objects often consist of postcards, posters and documentation from magazines or can be a collection of snapshots by amateur photographers, like stereotype family pictures, holiday perils or hotel room views.

This way known nicknacks are elevated to a personal artists archive and published as peculiarities in a book. With books by Hans Peter Feldmann, Allen Ruppersberg, Céline Duval, Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Wolfgang Tillmans and Edward Ruscha.
