New Ways of Doing Nothing / Available at www.draw-down.com / The group exhibition #NewWaysofDoingNothing opened at Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna. Devoted to showing artistic works that oppose activity, the exhibition also proposed a politics of radical passivity. A major influence for the exhibition was the titular character of Hermann Melville’s Bartleby the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street. This exhibition catalog presents itself as both sourcebook and reader. It begins with a traditional display of individual works by over 20 artists—from Karl Holmqvist and the Paris-based collective #ClaireFontaine to #RobertBreer and #Superflex —then breaks into a layered curatorial conversation and #collage of reprinted text pages and excerpts introducing those artists and thinkers who, in the words of Bartleby, “prefer not to.” Designed by #AnnaHaas / Published by #SternbergPress and #KunsthalleWien / #design #activity #passivity https://www.instagram.com/p/BtLg_eoAIbs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6ih7pmy1m55g
