The Stage Is Set for the Book!
The Kunstbibliothek Buchsalon event series is all about books. Maren Wienigk, curator of the Architecture and Ornament Collection, and Michael Lailach, curator of the Book Art Collection, talk with their guests about new and old books.
Thirteenth guest: Artist Daniela Comani challenges our visual habits and everyday assumptions. With typographic precision and attention to detail, she manipulates canonical book titles, for example, and uses “gendering” as an artistic strategy. Her series often appear as artist’s books, which she conceives and designs herself and which explore history, language, and identity. We’ll talk with her about role models, stereotypes, the formation of canons, power dynamics, and visibility—including, and especially, in literary history.
