The Books Happen. 2015 Kunstruimte Kuub, Utrecht. Henny Overbeek's collaborative artist books project. >>>>
Initiated by visual artist Henny Overbeek, the project spans over three years and 50 unique productions of collaborative artist books. Offering collaged dummies to other artists with a carte blanche, Overbeek startedThe Books Happen amongst friends but subsequently broadened its territory to less known forces and artists personally unfamiliar to him. Unlike the often distant display of artist books as closed off objects in collections, The Books that have happened are presented within this exhibition, alongside installations of participating artists, to be opened and encountered. Each single page is a collage of intense visual power play and storytelling. Also see: Trendbeheer

My contributions are visible in various New Brabant Front books, plus 'Tonight at Noon' & 'Different Skies, Different Troubles' made together with Henny. In the exhibition I showed a slowly rotating 2-sided lightbox with title: 'High Tech Man in Nowhere Land' 2015 (photo below) and some collages and a C-print of 'Last Transmission from NP-113'.
