Books To Do

a Book Presentation by Albert Coers, in conversation with Annette Gilbert and Andreas Koch.

The event will be held in German. Entrance is free.

'Books to Do' (Hatje Cantz) is not the usual monograph, it's a meta-book about already realized and yet to be realized book projects in the form of a to-do list. It is a collection of ideas and subjects, a self-documentation, self-stimulation, and a joyfully utopian agenda at the same time.

In the talk, we will explore the possibilities of making books, also fictional ones, as works, as well as practical aspects of the production processes, digital and analogue, the performative potential of books.

'Books to Do' contains, apart from 96 book projects, a conversation between Annette Gilbert and Albert Coers and an essay by Markus Krajewski. It was designed by Andreas Koch in collaboration with the artist.
