Blank. Raw. Illegible… Artists’ Books as Statements (1960-2022)
Moritz Küng

With Blank. Raw. Illegible… Artists’ Books as Statements (1960-2022) the Leopold-Hoesch-Museum shows a representative selection of international positions dedicated to the blank book as an artistic medium. The number of 259 artists’ books on display refers to the legendary exhibition Book as Artwork 1960/72 curated by Germano Celant and Lynda Morris, but the selection focuses exclusively on the qualities of blank, raw, illegible, empty, unprinted, tautological, hermetic, dysfunctional, and mysterious.

Participation of the studio with the book/diary “Empty Days. Diary 2017”. Published by Cube Art Editions and documenta 14.

Curated by Moritz Küng. Held at Leopold-Hoesch-Museum, Düren.
