BOOK LAUNCH (15:00–17:00, Mezzanine)
In his new artist's book <, Gabriel Kuri pursues his process of sifting and categorizing at the heart of his WIELS exhibition sorted, resorted. It presents an itemization of his collection of stolen doorstops. The book is inspired equally by the canonical conceptual artist's book and the visual layout of product specifications in commercial catalogues. A presentation of 20 limited edition prints will accompany the book.
