ORDER BOOK: The Wayward Canon / El Canon Rebelde

Description

The book began in 2019 as a catalogue for Mark Aerial Waller’s retrospective exhibition at Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno (CAAM), Gran Canaria, Spain. 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.
