ORDER BOOK: The Wayward Canon / El Canon Rebelde

Description

The Wayward Canon began in 2019 as a catalogue for Mark Aerial Waller’s
retrospective exhibition at Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno (CAAM), Gran Canaria,
Spain. With the onset of coronavirus, the publication uncoupled from its format to
become a set of critical texts and possibilities for interaction. The back pages can be cut
up to make a flip-book, a musical score is included to re-enact the sense of one of
Waller’s legendary Wayward Canon events.

Contributors: Curator and writer Mike Sperlinger (LUX / Oslo National Academy of the
Arts) considers who is responsible for making, preserving and policing the frameworks
for artworks – who that is, if not ourselves? Members of the former art collective and
space France Fiction, Lorenzo Cirrincione and Marie Bonnet, walk with Jennifer Teets
across Paris within a background of situationism, a mesh of supernatural, civic and
economic upheaval. An interview between Gemma Medina Estupiñan (independent
curator/ Van Abbe Museum) and Waller details the artist’s decision-making process
between material, technique and political context. Introduced by CAAM Director, Orlando
Britto Jinorio.
