Beschreibung
While the term "storehouse" originally refers to a storage place for grain and supplies, Nadim Vardag's artist's book depicts cognitive processes in relation to etymology and semantics, and especially to the aesthetics of storage under cultural-historical and technological transformations — the volume itself representing what it is about: standing on a bookshelf, it archives a selection of Vardag's work, including drypoint etchings of knot motifs, wall objects made of beechwood slats and aluminum snap frames, and installation views of expansive sculptures that address sculptural questions of volume, surface, and material between autonomy and functionality.
