Publisher's Synopsis
Alongside each of his exhibitions, David Maljkovic translates his work into the form of a book, which becomes another medium in the practice of this interdisciplinary artist. For Also on View, he collaborated with designer Toni Uroda to channel the themes and methods of his 2019 solo exhibition at the Renaissance Society. In the book, a rendition of Maljkovic's public artist talk from the opening night of the exhibition is accompanied by a dynamic array of images. While embracing a wide range of media-including photography, painting, video, sculpture, and various hybrids-the Croatian artist has developed distinctive methods of incorporating and refiguring his own earlier works in new installations. For his exhibition and corresponding publication at the Renaissance Society, Maljkovic revisited elements that originated from previous projects, and gathered them together in a presentation of works tailored to the unique architectural space. Altered photographs, paintings directly on the gallery walls, videos, and sculptures accumulate into a rich and varied collection of works.
