A collection of works by London-based Dutch visual artist Magali Reus.
This book encapsulates the artist's thoughts on "objecthood." The binding, designed by Amsterdam-based designer Irma Boom, is highly sophisticated and can be considered a must-have for collectors, offering an immersive experience for readers. It brings together three books, taped together, based on the artist's three new series: "Dearest" (2018), "Empty Every Night" (2019), and "Settings" (2019-2021). The main text uses various types of paper, with translucent paper especially leveraging its layered quality to create a playful and effective visual display.
The artist, acclaimed for her unique perspective on the nature and expression of contemporary sculpture, creates works that accumulate and layer visual details, developing them into something captivating, drawing influences and contexts from a diverse range of forms—from the domestic to the industrial, from functionality to ornamentation.
Designed by Irma Boom, one of today's most highly regarded graphic designers, this book presents a unique approach to creation by revealing the sources, visual imagery, and relationships that led to the expression of the artist's three emblematic series mentioned above. The form of "the book" is conceived as a space that allows for a closer, more intimate connection with the artist's work. Various materials such as 3D technical renderings, production plans, life-size models, samples, and research photos, along with detailed close-ups and evolving views of the works, are presented alternately. By making her works, production processes, and research materials public, the artist allows readers to decipher her unique approach: the circulation of motifs from one medium to another, her perspective on hierarchy, expression, and production systems, and her exploration of the balance observed in nature and technology, and the impact of human activity in post-industrial society.
This book offers the highest praise to the artist's ongoing reflections on "objecthood" and the peculiar yet rebellious effects of the objects and forms she creates. Comprising three independent volumes, brought together using various types of paper, this book is an object that possesses power in itself.
It includes three contributed essays analyzing the artist's activities from an art-historical and literary perspective: "Leather and Logistics" by art critic and curator Anthony Huberman, "The Other Hour" by writer and art historian Philomena Epps, and "A Love Affair" by artist and writer Sean Burns.
