The MAK Center for Art and Architecture presents the publication launch of Inverted Dome, an artist book produced in conjunction with the exhibition Kristin Posehn: Inverted Dome, on view at the Mackey Garage January 22–March 5, 2022. The event includes a conversation between artist Kristin Posehn and curator Aurora Tang.
The publication expands on ideas and experiential frameworks presented in the exhibition, and features new texts by Chris Fite-Wassilak and Michael Ned Holte, an interview between artist Kristin Posehn and curator Aurora Tang, as well as full color documentation of the exhibition’s installation, digital studies, and research process. Designed by Salome Schmuki and published by New Laconic, Inverted Dome was handmade and assembled by the artist in her studio in a limited edition.
