Copy Construct / Available at www.draw-down.com / A document of both the artworks and the almost 300 books on view at an eponymous exhibition at the Mechelen Cultural Centre. Featuring works by #JanKempenaers #KasperAndreasen #AglaiaKonrad #RiaPacquée #SimonPopper #MitjaTušek and more, the artistic positions are set against an exhibition design conceived by Kris Kimpe and Koenraad Dedobbeleer, a kind of communal archive that systematically displays a selection of contemporary artists’ books. The works closely relate to the codex of the book as a medium for artistic expression, as well as to the different gestures of reproduction that are representative of artists working in various media. The publication brings together some twenty-five autonomous contributions from the exhibited artists, a thematic introduction, an interview with the book collector Gregorio Magnani, as well as images of the exhibition installation. A bibliography offers a selected overview of exhibited books as seen per artist in recent decades. Curated, compiled, and edited by Kasper Andreasen.
