To coincide with her exhibition, Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven has produced a limited handmade print edition especially for the Kunstverein that collides several of her concerns and procedures: architecture, collage, fetishists, interiors, magazines, plastic, and writing.

Van Kerckhoven took an image of a woman posing in a latex fetishist outfit from a recent Parisian magazine, upon which she has superimposed screenshots from Wikipedia about Henri Lefebre’s The Production of Space, and drawn thought bubbles with handwritten excerpts from Anti-Oedipus: From Psychoanalysis to Schizopolitics, published by Semiotext(e) in 1977. Stapled on top of all this is a sour image of architect Le Corbusier, Xeroxed on transparent plastic.

Interiors of buildings have also been a fascination of Van Kerckhoven’s for how they control our behavior and influence our thoughts and moods. Holding Le Corbusier partially responsible, the artist takes issue with ‘the way men direct women in a certain way by designing the spaces where they live’, adding that fetishes, such as for Latex, ‘result from the subconscious restraints these interiors impose.’

Each edition is printed and assembled by the artist, and signed and numbered.
