Jimmy Robert: The Man Who Envied Women

The forthcoming publication will be Robert’s first substantial overview covering 20 years of work. Including major installations and more recent exhibitions, it will feature writing by Kirsty Bell, Elisabeth Lebovici, Bart van der Heide, Thomas (T.) Jean Lax, Karolin Meunier ¸ Cag?la Ilk and Misal Adnan Yildiz.

With Robert’s practice deeply embedded in and engaged with im-/materiality, paper, texture and performance, the publication will correspond in format, haptic elements and the use of different papers.

Robert will include his own writing and use the monograph as a platform to crystalize his conceptual, dense and processual steps in his work into another medium. The publication will extend the site specifity and spatiality of his exhibitions and re-consider how a body can be perceived in other environments.
