Artists Manor Grunewald
Venue NO/Gallery
Manor Grunewald often departs from found imagery and his collection of books and leaflets. In this particular exhibition, the booklets are showing several ‘portraits’ where each time the price tag was sticked on the head of the person portrayed. Grunewald chose single images that he repetitively used in a sequence from light to dark, this referring to the test strips that are commonly used in the darkroom to find the ‘right’ exposure to print the final photograph. Hereby, Manor Grunewald refers to the archive of the photographer as well as the technique of photography. The thematic of ‘the archive’ is also visually presented in the bench that’s placed in the center of the space. Here the bench is presented as an archive folder where the original booklet is milled out and presented to the viewer.
Next to the exhibition, a new artist book is released. It is the first in a series of cahiers, where every publication will have an archival map that is used in the studio of Manor Grunewald as a starting point.
