A plane is lodged in the Portikus attic to be seen across the river.
In keeping with Stevenson’s commitment to producing objects that animate historical narratives, often as replicas, facsimiles or architectural re-constructions, the object will be transformed into an image through the very fragile and the most minute effects of optical lenses and mirrors, so that it appears in the main exhibition space.
Published on the occasion of Stevenson’s exhibitions at Portikus, Frankfurt, and Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City in 2012
English and Spanish text by authors: Nikolaus Hirsch, Carmen Cuenca, Sophie von Olfers, Magnolia de la Garza, Roberto Bolaño, Giovanni Intra, José de Jesús Martínez, Marilyn Strathern, Michael Taussig, Laura Preston, Mark von Schlegell, and Jan Verwoert.
With supplement publication, Teoria del Vuelo; José de Jesús Martínez Publication, a 42 page reprint of the original Spanish document compiled with a new English translation

KAREL MARTENS
Full Colour
Comprising scores of photographs from inside the studio of the prolific Dutch graphic designer and educator Karel Martens, this book is a testament to the personal and experimental nature of his work. Although he can be placed in the tradition of Dutch modernism, Martens seems to maintain a certain distance from contemporary developments. The shelves of books and stacks of papers seen in these images are evocative of both his professional practice and work as an artist, which more recently entails making relief prints from found industrial artefacts. A fascinating and intimate creative portrait of this design community mentor, with texts by David Senior and Martens himself.
