Présentation de l'éditeur
A matrix of life, nature and the cosmos, Antje Majewski's World of Gimel is the artist's own private universal museum in a nutshell, featuring a septet of objects: a clay teapot in the form of a human hand, a shell, a pot made of fragrant wood, a Buddha's hand citron, a hedge apple, a white stone, a meteorite acquired by Majewski during her numerous travels and encounters. The exhibition is a book; the book is an exhibition; the World of Gimel a hybrid of Aleph and Babel, of fantasy and scientific knowledge is a language laboratory, a structure en abîme, Majewski s unique venture into the universe of things and their other identity. ---------- Participating artists: Thomas Bayrle, Helke Bayrle, Marcel Duchamp, Didier Faustino, Pawe Freisler, Delia Gonzalez, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Edward Krasi ski, Leonore Mau, Markus Miessen & Ralf Pflugfelder, Dirk Peuker, Agnieszka Polska, Mathilde Rosier, Gavin Russom, Issa Samb, Juliane Solmsdorf, Simon Starling & Superflex, El Hadji Sy, Neal Tait ------------------- Co-published with Kunsthaus Graz -------------------- Including a DVD with films by Antje Majewski and postcards with installation views ---------------- A German-language version of this publication is also available: ''Die Gimel-Welt.
