After Nature
2008
Published in conjunction with the exhibition “After Nature.” This unique catalogue pays tribute to the work of W.G. Sebald by repurposing existing copies of After Nature, his 1988 three-part prose poem, from which the show has borrowed its title. The catalogue consists of the original book, enriched with images that have been hand-placed between the pages, and a new foldout dust jacket. The result is a singular hybrid that is part-appropriation, part-recycled material, and informed by the artistic tradition of the found object. Essay by Massimiliano Gioni. Includes a complete checklist of works in the exhibition and twenty-five full-color images from an international and multigenerational group of contemporary artists, filmmakers, writers, and outsiders.
