Simons Not in the Show
(2005)
Whitechapel Project Space
Pablo Bronstein, Céline Condorelli, Dustin Ericksen, Simon Popper
A library structure provides a framework in which the participants explore forms of communication with written and printed matter. The installation takes the form of an archive and charts the move from typographic experiment to a focus in the role of books in artistic and architectural practices.
