PHOTOstructuralism: the composition of the page as a concept

The exhibition "PHOTOstructuralism" will introduce visitors to a wide range of conceptual approaches associated to the use of photographs as formal elements in artists’ publications and books.The exhibition will be grouped around Georg Herold’s work, "Das Tafelwerk" (1992) - an important and impressive edition that is an integral part of Serralves Library’s collection of artists’ publications and books.This key work consists of 597 polaroids, distributed across 28 panels that refer to the banality of day-to-day life and the immaterial meaning of works of art.
The exhibition, organized by the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, is curated by Guy Schraenen, consultant to Serralves Library.
