KIOSK (VI) – MANIFESTA 4
Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt/Main
24 May – 25 August 2002
Installation: Stefan Wieland & Christoph Keller
KIOSK: Modes of Multiplication is a nomadic exhibition of artist books,
catalogs, periodicals, video and audio projects that has been
continually growing as it has traveled over the past seven years. It
currently comprises approximately 6,000 titles from roughly 400
independent publishers from around the world. The project provides a
rich overview of activities within the rapidly expanding field of
independent publishing activities from the past ten years.
Consequently, it offers a broad perspective on the various models of
dissemination and distribution of artistic ways of working in printed
media and an idea of the diverse strategies, motivations and programs
of the participating publishers’ projects.
KIOSK was initiated by Christoph Keller, founder and former director of
the highly acclaimed Frankfurt-based publishing house, Revolver -
Archiv für aktuelle Kunst (Archive for contemporary art). The project's
presentation at Midway Contemporary Art will be its twentieth stop
since its inception in 2001. Following KIOSK's presentation at Midway,
the project will travel to Galerie Art & Essai & École des
beaux-arts in Rennes, France and then to the Kunstbibliothek, Stiftung
Preußischer Kunstbesitz, Berlin (a branch of the German State Library
in Berlin) where it will be permanently housed for future archival and
scholarly research.
