Dream On Baby

Beschrijving

Childhood never lets go of anyone. For many artists, it was the trigger for making art in the first place, and still is what drives them today.
For Dream On Baby, Gesine Borcherdt asked 33 artists, including Ai Weiwei, Marina Abramovic, Lynda Benglis, Vaginal Davis, Marcel Dzama, Mona Hatoum, Jeff Koons, Gregor Schneider, and Jordan Wolfson, about their memories of childhood. The result is an anthology of deeply personal, sometimes tragic, sometimes funny, often heartbreaking and always surprising stories. Accompanied by never-before-seen childhood photographs and drawings, this book sheds new light on what it means to make art.GESINE BORCHERDT (*1976, Braunschweig) is a Berlin-based
curator, art critic and author for Art Review, Ursula, Welt am
Sonntag, ART, and AD Germany. Recent exhibitions include
Dream Baby Dream (2020) revolving around childhood fantasies
and traumas, and Home Is Where You're Happy (2023) at Haus
Mödrath in Kerpen, Germany.
