Kiosk at The Emily Carr Institute, Vancouver
Kiosk – stage 19 – opens at Artists’ Space in New York
Kiosk, a traveling archive of independent publication projects on contemporary art, has just opened at Artists’ Space in New York. This is the 19th exhibition of the continually evolving collection run by German publisher / curator Christoph Keller. Aiming to provide an overview of the whole bandwidth and variety of independent publishing activities, the archive now features more than 5,300 publications, including periodicals, zines, video and audio projects.
Kiosk was in New Zealand last year where it was twice exhibited, at ARTSPACE in Auckland and The Physics Room in Christchurch. In has since been hosted by the Emily Carr institute in Vancouver. Kiosk’s 20th exhibition will be in Minneapolis during September at Midway Contemporary (dates to be confirmed). In January it will return to Europe where it will be presented in Rennes, France and then at the State Library of Berlin in summer of ’08. Keller is currently discussing with the State Library – the biggest library in Germany – about the possibility of handing over the archive to its collection where it would be permanently available.
Kiosk runs at Artists’ Space in New York until May 12.
