Description

This title accompanies David Maljkovic's three-part exhibition of the same name at the Van Abbemusem, Eindhoven, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead and GAMeC, Bergamo. Including films, sculpture, collage, and installations from the past ten years, 'Sources in the Air' is the artist's most comprehensive survey to date. Architecturally re-configured and re-staged differently at each of the three venues, 'Sources in the Air' expands on Maljkovic's recent interest in exhibition strategies and the semiotics of display. The publication, which includes a newly commissioned essay by Anselm Franke alongside texts from the curators of each of the three venues, serves as the bind between each of the exhibition's iterations.

Description

For the past 15 years, David Maljkovic has been fascinated with the French car company Peugeot and its futuristic "concept cars" conceived in the 1980s to modelize what the car industry would look like in the 2000s--now evidence of a long outdated belief in progress and technology. In his film "Out of Projection" (2009-2015), filmed at the Peugeot headquarters and innovation campus in Sochaux (eastern France), automobile prototypes accompanied by now-retired former employees unfurl before us, serving as symbolic links between past and future, and giving us an insight into our complex contemporary relationship with past forms, time, and space. Centered on this landmark work, which is unfolded through related projects, archives, documentation, film stills, etc., this artist's book constitutes an emblematic case study of David Maljkovic's practice and obsessions. Designed by London-based graphic design studio Åbäke, it is published as the editorial sequel of the exhibition "In Low Resolution" held at Palais de Tokyo, Paris, in 2014, and co-organized with the Festival d'Automne à Paris. Besides publishing never-before-seen material, it also contains an essay by curator and art critic François Piron, and an interview with Julien Fronsacq, curator of David Maljkovic's exhibition at Palais de Tokyo.
