New Ways of Doing Nothing⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣ ⁣ The group exhibition #NewWays of #DoingNothing 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 #artists #art #painter #illustrator #sculpture #musician #sculptor #painting #photographer (at Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvgvcUzn-H1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tqgi12re0nsf
