"A mysterious object, somewhere between an illustrated anthology of short stories and a scrapbook preserving the experience of show more visiting a biennial exhibition, this book presents the works of more than sixty artists in a montage of images, mixing historical photos, newspaper clippings, and other reference materials with installation shots and photographs of art works included in the show. Not simply a textual complement to the exhibition but also an unusual combine of art works, this book is much more than just a documentation of an exhibition, it's an exhibition in book form. In spite of its classical design and hardcover binding, it is an artists' book with a truly unusual use of texts and reprints. The book will also feature sections with visual reminders and references for all of the 4th berlin biennial activities including Checkpoint Charley, Gagosian Gallery in Berlin, and the columns presented by the bb4 in Zitty magazine." -- publisher's statement. show less
