Rodney Graham : Lightboxes : [Ausstellung, Baden-Baden, Museum Frieder Burda, July 8 - November 26, 2017

This book, designed in close co-operation with the artist, accompanies the exhibition at Museum Frieder Burda. It presents Graham's 36 photo light boxes from 2000 to the present, among them key works like the Newspaper Man. The central focus is on the manifold ways in which Graham has staged himself. He always gives the impression of a melancholy time traveller, a modern-day Buster Keaton, negotiating the trials and tribulations of modern culture in various guises

The Gold Projections

Using a technique, which he has since patented, Ramirez projects films onto a circular, slightly convex, wooden panel, which he has gilded by hand in an elaborate process, leaf by leaf and layer by layer. This creates a unique projection surface, which determines the form of the projected images. In this debut artist book, an entire lifetime of dreaming in light is condensed to display a process unique to the California-born artist, whom Wim Wenders considers 'a true 21st century Renaissance artist.'
