Synopsis
Like the most recent exhibitions curated by Daniel Birnbaum, the Art Biennale 2009 will present worlds in the making. A work of art is more than an object, he says, more than a commodity. It represents a vision of the world, and, if taken seriously, it can be seen as a way of world-making. It is Birnbaum’s ambition to create a show that, although articulated into individual zones of intensity, remains fundamentally a unique exhibition.

Innovative Design Dynamic Spine. 10.5"x8", 616 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Putting together the prompts and provocations of contemporary art, the catalogue of the 53rd International Art Exhibition in two volumes, one for the national participations and one for the exhibition set up by Daniel Birnbaum, is a genuine conceptual extension to the Biennale. Making Worlds is its key: an analysis of the creative process that leads to the work of art, but also the director's personal pathway that led to the conception of a powerful exhibition. Alongside the documentation of the works shown, it is possible for the first time to 'spy on' the inspiration, the myriad elements of that fantastic puzzle that is an exhibition, through an insert personally edited by Birnbaum. The basic idea of Making Worlds has its final interpretation in the book, thanks to the graphic design by Stockholm Design Lab using simple but high impact visual language consisting of thousands of almost craft details (the decomposition of national flags, the binding, the use of different papers, the variety of covers). Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Ex-Library. Seller Inventory # 2203ec238
