Highly anticipated 'Tauba Auerbach — S v Z' opens TODAY @sfmoma !!⁠ ⁠ We are proud to have published the exhibition catalog (which is also very much an artist's book).⁠ ⁠ As in all things Auerbach, this book is also an experiment, fitting neatly into the artist's practice as a book maker and inveterate question-asker. Beginning with the title—in which the "v" does not stand for "versus," but instead calls upon the mathematic symbol for "and/or"—and extending to the deeply satisfying custom-marbled black-and-white edges of the book block, this is a volume to be reckoned with slowly and with a very open mind. Created by the artist and David Reinfurt, who designed a new typeface based on Auerbach's iconic, back-slanting handwriting, it is filled with material, spatial and temporal ideas, structures, reflections, problems and solutions. For example, in the Folds, Auerbach attempts to conjure nothing less than four-dimensional space. "The Fold paintings are my effort to construct a portal through which to summon—or at least imagine—this inaccessible hyper-spatial territory," they are quoted. "My hope is that if these paintings can successfully efface the boundary between two-and three-dimensionality, then by analogy they imply the possibility of eroding the boundary between three-dimensional space and beyond. Even if it remains physically impossible to experience four-dimensional space, I believe we can use this 'logic' to approach or inhabit it in our minds." ⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio⁠ ⁠ @tau_au #taubaauerbach #taubaauerbachsvz @david_reinfurt #svz https://www.instagram.com/p/CXoJ7ZyrlAR/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Extended Object" (2018) is reproduced from 'Tauba Auerbach — S v Z' — published to accompany the exhibition opening Saturday, December 18 at @sfmoma ⁠, ⁠ ⁠ Reviewing the book for @hyperallergic Megan Liberty writes, "Much like her bookworks, Auerbach’s catalogue 'S v Z' deserves to be examined as a sculptural object before we unfold its cover and consider its contents."⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio⁠ ⁠ @tau_au #taubaauerbach #taubaauerbachsvz @david_reinfurt #svz https://www.instagram.com/p/CXlv2efF9fO/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Mudra Z" (2016) is reproduced from 'Tauba Auerbach — S v Z' — published to accompany the exhibition opening Saturday, December 18 at @sfmoma ⁠ ⁠ @artforum calls the catalog, "An extraordinary book-object ... Featuring 256 typefaces crafted by the patient, exacting designer David Reinfurt, the 'S v Z' publication is obsessively Auerbachian ... Regardless of pandemic-related delays in mounting the physical exhibition (it was originally slated to open in 2020), the book will endure as a truly entheogenic object in keeping with Auerbach’s art: a manifestation of precise practices that nonetheless open us to the woolly edges of what consciousness can reveal."⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio⁠ ⁠ @tau_au #taubaauerbach #taubaauerbachsvz @david_reinfurt #svz https://www.instagram.com/p/CXldXs0LrAS/?utm_medium=tumblr
