This ABCédaire functions as the background of the
exhibition House and Garden with Amalia Ulman and
Cédric Fargues, curated by Pierre-Alexandre Mateos
and Charles Teyssou. It’s what surfaces when you have
left the show, where you want to make such impalpable
concepts as home visible. It contains tools, narratives
and images created by Amalia Ulman and Cédric
Fargues, and materials taken from various fields like
typical basque country napkin patterns, French structuralist sociology and televison.
This ABCédaire will be the only fetish of Home and
Garden. It doesn’t have the scale of a coffee table
book but will work prefect as a decorative detail in your
domestic setting. It can either be the highlight of your
shelf or negligently thrown on the super soft open-mesh
Egyptian cotton and linen knit of your scandinavian
sofa. What would knowledge be if it wasn’t exhibited, organized and produced within an aestheticized
framework?
This ABCédaire has been written by Pierre-Alexandre
Mateos and Charles Teyssou. The graphic design is
under the ownership of Emma Bang and Jenny Selldén.
This publication can only be found at Weekends, a nonprofit art space founded in 2014 by Rasmus Myrup.
