Reboundings by Daniel Buren

1977

Essay by Daniel Buren five years after his participation in the 1972 Documenta 5 exhibition in Kassel, West Germany. Buren’s principle targets are museums and exhibition organizers….suggests that such persons merely use art works as touches of color in their painting, i.e. the exhibition, thereby castrating the individual works.(–Clive Phillpot, Art Journal, Spring 1980) Text is followed by 7 black and white plates including reproductions of text by Harald Szeemann from the Catalog of Documenta V as well as installation images, and 7 red and black diagrams, '"included to provide the text, although remaining outside, with a second reading which should complete the first one." As with all Buren books excellent use of different typographical styles and therefore equally visually and intellectually stimulating. Perfect condition, never been cracked. Printed in an edition of only 500 copies.
