Georg Kargl Fine Arts is happy to launch the artist book Afterlives by Mladen Bizumic
Book Launch
Saturday, February 17, 15.00 - 17.00
Introduction by Stephen Zepke at 15.30
Mladen Bizumic approaches his artist book Afterlives as a means of production, presentation, and reproduction of art. Alongside a selection of his projects (ALBUM, MoMA’s BABY, EQUALITY and COPIA), realized between 2017 and 2024, the book features an in-depth essay by philosopher Stephen Zepke, and Bizumic’s interview with art historian Joan Levin Kirsch (who worked at MoMA and the Smithsonian) about her lesser-known, innovative role that led to AI, satellite imagery, and digital photography.
Afterlives can be seen as an autonomous book. When presented within the context of Bizumic’s current exhibition COPIA: Collection of Post-Industrial Arts, the book provides further insights into the artist’s new, critical reflection on the questions of re-formation and re-valuation in the digital age.
