Forlaget Gestus

Forlaget Gestus Udstillings- og forlagsplatform med fokus på rumsliggørelse af tekst og sprog i udstilling og publikation drevet af Cecilie Meng & Karin Hald.

Forlaget Gestus er et udstillingskoncept som er inspireret af både kunst- og forlagspraksis. Kunstnere inviteres til at kombinere deres sproglige arbejde med deres bildende ved at knytte en selvstændige publikation til hver udstilling. Forlaget Gestus danner rammerne for en plads, der giver kunstneren mulighed for at eksperimentere med traditionelle produktionsformer. Tilvirkningen og udstillinger

ne finder sted på samme plads. I kraft af at Forlaget Gestus er i samme hus som Officin, fornemmes alle dele af processen på en gang: opsætning og trykning af publikation samt visning af udstilling. Gestus betyder en kropslig bevægelse. En bevægelse man gør for at udtrykke noget, en overført betydning, en handling rettet mod nogen, en egenartet kommunikation til en anden, der åbner et rum, hvor vi ikke kun spejler os i handlingen, men også i det rum denne udføres. Vi ser en anden se handlingen, vi ser os selv se en anden se os gøre handlingen. Vi møder os selv i det fremmede, i udførelsen. Forlaget Gestus er støttet af Statens Kunstfond, og drives af Cecilie Meng og Karin Hald, der fungerer som både kuratorer og redaktører.

Juhu! Vi åbner i dag: 16:30-18:00

Vi glæder os utrolig meget til at byde indenfor, så værkerne igen kan blive undersøgt. Bladr er i knæ (økonomisk), så tøv nu ikke, køb den kunstnerbog eller print som du har haft øje på. Eller forkæl måske en som du holder af?

Under nedlukning har vi fået flere nye bøger. Bl.a. "I see you are (not) there" som er et værk udgivet af Forlaget Gestus i forbindelse med en udstilling af samme navn i c4 Projects i november. Kunstnerne Katrine Skovsgaard, Stine Gro, Karin Hald, Rikke Ehlers Nilsson, Marijn Kuijper, Yazan Khalili og Diana Lindbjergs værker er indbydende og følsomt behandlet af Flemming Ove Bechs grafiske design.
