Description
Summary:The role of exhibition within Kathrin Böhm’s expanded artistic practice—a practice that is not primarily predicated on production for display—is considered within the context of a larger process of public review arising from within the terms of the practice itself. In reviewing the role of exhibition, certain dimensions of the practice are foregrounded as warranting some form of reproduction or transfer into future practice. These characteristics are described as: 1:1 scale; usership; and the publicness of decisions. A key trope identified is that of the compost heap, and with it the process of composting as a figure through which to consider the public review of a practice within a projected exhibitionary process at the Showroom London in summer 2021.
