EXHIBITION: 'Poiesis' at The Artspace, Düsseldorf, Germany
Poiesis is an artists' book project at The ArtSpace Düsseldorf featuring an international selection of artists responding to three key literary works:
The West Eastern Divan - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot
According to the ArtSpace: "Poieses - the Greek term to make, stands for a verb, an action that transforms and continues the world. This term connects with the way artists’ books are created through acts of transcription and transformation."

Takeuchi, Isabell Buenz, Chris Gibson, Hourig Torossian and Horst Weierstall.
For the project I created a book in response to Goethe's Divan, entitled: Goethe's Divan for Bibliomantic Study, which enables Goethe's poems to be consulted to tell the future.
