Publié à l'occasion d'une grande exposition personnelle de l'œuvre de Thomas Demand au musée belge M Leuven en octobre 2020, ce livre se concentre sur la relation de Demand à l'architecture et son engagement auprès des architectes depuis près de quinze ans. Le point de départ est sa série en cours ‘Model Studies’, dans laquelle le concept du modèle lui-même est essentiel et comprend rarement des projets tels que Black Label (2009), Embassy (2007) et Nagelhaus (2008). Le livre est accompagné d'essais d'Adam Caruso (architecte et professeur d'architecture et de construction à l'ETH Zurich) Maristella Casciato (conservatrice de l'architecture, Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles) et Emily Pugh (historienne de l'architecture, Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles) , Aude-Line Dulière (architecte et professeure à l'Architectural Association, Londres), Karen Van Godtsenhoven (conservatrice associée au Fashion Institute, Metropolitan Museum, New York) et Valerie Verhack (conservatrice au M Leuven). Thomas Demand (né en 1964, Munich, Allemagne) a fréquenté l'Akademie der Bildenden Künste de Munich (1987-1990), la Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (1990-1993) et le Goldsmiths College de Londres (1993-1994). Son travail a été largement exposé à travers le monde et fait partie de la plupart des collections privées et institutionnelles importantes. Il a fait l'objet d'expositions personnelles au Sprüth Magers à Berlin, à la Galleria Gentili à Florence, au Irish Museum of Modern Art de Dublin, à la Serpentine Gallery de Londres et à la Neue Nationalgalerie de Berlin. Demand a reçu le prix des Rencontres d'Arles 2003 et a été nominé pour le Deutsche Börse Photography Prize en 2011. Les livres récents incluent The Complete Papers (MACK, 2018), Blossom with Ben Lerner (MACK, 2015), The Dailies with Hal Foster (MACK, 2012) et études de modèles (Ivory Press, 2011).

HOUSE OF CARD

MACK BOOKS

Co-produced with the Fundacion Botin on the occasion of a major solo exhibition at the Centro Botin in Santander, Mundo De Papel demonstrates the elaborate life-sized paper sculptures of internationally renowned artist Thomas Demand in the most ambitious book project of his work yet. Demand's practice is all about paper engineering and the relationship between representation and 'real' events. This extraordinary book takes that dialogue to a new level with the sophisticated use of paper mechanics in the form of pop-ups representing the 8 large pavilions Demand designed to be suspended in the Centro Botin, each of which replicates an urban landscape. The volume includes a separate book of installation views of the exhibition and a newly commissioned text by Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa.

Published to accompany a worldwide touring exhibition, The Stutter of History brings together a wide-ranging survey of works spanning the arc of Thomas Demand's career and offers insight into how we might approach the onslaught of historical events that we consume in the form of images. This extensive book displays the breadth and depth of Demand’s artistic accomplishment, demonstrating in one volume why he is considered one of the world’s foremost contemporary artists. Includes a new short story by award-winning author Ali Smith written in response to a work by Demand, as well as an illuminating essay by Douglas Fogle, curator of the exhibition, and an essay by Margaret Iversen.

Stutter of History

The Dailies collects snapshots of a world unmistakably our own yet equally strange. Made through Thomas Demand’s renowned practice of constructing, photographing, and destroying meticulous paper models, this series captures minor, everyday moments based on iPhone photographs. Viewed together, they are an inventory of traces – signs of consumption, evidence of people just departed or out of sight, spectres of things left behind. Demand describes the series as a form of Haiku: simple fragments strung together to inspire reflection and help us take stock of our daily lives. Just as they trigger deja vu through their performed, minimal repetition, they ask us to look again, and afresh, to discover an ordinary yet enlightening beauty. This new volume brings together the entirety of Demand’s series to date in a large-format edition alongside an extended essay by critic Hal Foster.
