Kameelah Janan Rasheed: in the coherence, we weep
Edited by Sofie Krogh Christensen
Published by KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, 2023
This artist book is published on the occasion of Kameelah Janan Rasheed’s Schering Stiftung Award for Artistic Research 2022 solo exhibition at KW Institute for Contemporary Art (2023).
“in the coherence, we weep is both an artist book and an exhibition. The project is about the critical potential of incoherencies. It is an attempt to map methodology across media, while welcoming glitches that allow for moments of critical self-reflection and knowledge production. Developed in parallel, the book and exhibition critically reflect on each other’s approaches. It looks at strategies for how text can be alive and vibrant across various architectural contexts as well as those used in the artist’s family archive, particularly annotation, redaction, indexing, blurring, and learning through reading and writing.”

“Multilayering was in that sense an important aspect that got translated with the material and the design by choosing papers with differents gradients of transparency, as well as interfering and overlapping text layouts. We also designed the cover with a blue scratch-off drawing on top of another artwork, so every book might change a bit over time depending on the use. This reflects the artist’s idea of including the audience and an ever-changing oeuvre, where the relation between pieces becomes important too.”
