This book is published in conjunction with the exhibitions Annette Kelm, Witte de With, Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam, 13 June – 24 August 2008 curated by Nicolaus Schafhausen and Zoë Gray; Kunsthalle Zürich, 24 January – 26 April 2009, curated by Beatrix Ruf; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, 3 May – 19 July 2009, curated by Susanne Pfeffer. With intense visual clarity, Annette Kelm portrays objects dislocated from their usual context. Contrary to their apparent simplicity and reduced aesthetic, Kelm’s images contain a wealth of references, from interior design and architecture, to Hollywood films or current day concerns with exoticism and global trade. —ColophonText“Susanne Pfeffer, Beatrix Ruf and Nicolaus Schafhausen in Conversation” EssaysCaoimhín Mac Giolla Léith, Dirk von Lowtzow, Zoë Gray EditorsSusanne Pfeffer, Beatrix Ruf, Nicolaus Schafhausen EditingKatrin Sauerländer CopyeditingSarah Campbell, Katrin Sauerländer, Christel Vesters ProofreadingAriadne Urlus, Tina Wessel TranslationsLiesbeth Harmsen, Christopher Jenkin-Jones, Ralf Schauff, Els Struiving, Christel Vesters Number of copies2000 LanguageEnglish/German/Dutch Format21 x 26,5 cm144 pages (ca. 90 color ills. in total)Softcover with dust jacket DesignHeimann und Schwantes, Berlin Lithographymax-color, Berlin PrintingMessedruck, Leipzig Printed in Germany Publication dateMay 2009 ISBN978-3-86560-622-8 PublisherKoenig Books
