Exhibition catalog. Catalog of an exhibition held at the Kunsthalle Zürich, Zurich, February 2 - March 24, 2013. Colophon on page 99. Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
This publication mirrors in book form the two-phase exhibition held at the Kunsthalle Zürich in 2013, and reflects the artist's understanding that an exhibition is not a format limited by space, but the possibility of temporal and physical expansion and intensification. Madison worked with feedback loops and shifts in the exhibition format: the presentation took place at several sites in Zurich--including the artist-run space AP News and the notorious Longstreet Bar--that were connected spatially and conceptually by numerous events; the gallery's newsletter not only announced the events but also became an ephemeral publication, in which a text by the artist and other contents were disseminated. This material is now included in this book, mingled with a deconstruction of the poster series by artist Mathis Altmann (1987) that publicized the club nights during the exhibition, which were shown in the entrance area of the exhibition space.
