"Nothing Special" is French artist Julien Berthier's second book with drawings and reflections on his own work, a framework of artistic research and the beauty of failure. A manual on how to make things even more complicated. This book, completely hand drawn by the artist (from the impressum to the barcode), contains an inserted poster. Julien Berthier (born in 1975 in Besançon, lives and works in Aubervilliers) is working with sculpture, video, photography, and drawings. His sharp, humorous works on paper are often diagrams of unrealized inventions or scenarios. Ranging from the political to the poetic they reveal the full breadth of the artist's concerns and motivations. Show more
