Aglaia Konrad: Autofictions in Stone
<p><em>Bilingual in English and German</em></p> <p>Concurrent with the exhibition <i>Autofictions in Stone</i>, a publication features six sixteen-page sheets designed by Aglaia Konrad: sequences of images showing construction sites, architectural structures, demolitions, and quarries from Konrad’s extensive image archive – each “framed” by an image of Saint Barbara, the patron saint of miners and builders, and an illustration from Giovanni Villani’s late medieval <i>Nuova Cronica</i>. Bound into the book in random order, they generate ever-changing arrangements. Orla Barry, who based in Ireland, recurrently swaps the wellies of a sheep farmer for the attire of a (performance) artist, has contributed an autofictional text.</p>
