The Climbing of Buildings, Fences and other Opportunities, Jeroen Jongeleen. MRV-03.
Published by MORAVA.
Edition of 100 copies.

“The Climbing of Buildings, Fences and other Opportunities” documents one of the projects which has for years been developed by Jeroen Jongeleen. A few dozen photographs, a great many of which have never been published before, make up a visual story about overcoming natural and architectural barriers, about courage and solitude, and about the joy of reaching ever new summits. Jeroen Jongeleen is equally enthusiastic when climbing trees at night and a few dozen metres’ smokestacks. He is most often by himself. Moreover, he makes pictures of himself in these situations. In the book, however, he is accompanied by a text by Peter Kazil, a Rotterdam-based theoretician and urban explorer.

DUST SNOW, curator Piotr Łakomy MRV-02.
Published by Morava.
Edition of 100 copies.

The booklet “DUST SNOW” is a record of the Winter Sculpture Park project taking place on a winter’s day in Wilson Park, Poznań. Piotr Łakomy, who conceived the idea of DUST SNOW, defines it as follows: “Imagine a white cube which is a sculpture park, an open space of a park which is a white cube. DUST SNOW is a project without a budget and opening and closing dates. The ephemeral nature of DUST SNOW will make it turn to dust before the snow melts.”
The photos documenting the project are accompanied by a text written by Sebastian Cichocki.
DUST SNOW participants are: Daniel Keller/Nik Kosmas (Aids-3D), Honza Zamojski, Jakub Czyszczoń, Juliette Bonneviot, Katarzyna Bura, Magdalena Starska, Magnus Clausen, Peter Larsen, Piotr Łakomy, Samuel François.

Nutzen und Nachteil, Markus Müller

Markus Müller takes a playful approach to artistic principles of design, referring to the style and epochs of art history. His works also incorporate the ideas that have emerged from his study of sculpture. He elevates his depictions of natural elements to works of art through their form of presentation and has created a nonfigurative sculpture that appears to be natural. In so doing, he raises questions about the criteria that define a found object as sculpture while also inquiring into the status of the object he represents, specifically their position within the laws that govern art.
