Zdenek Košek in Gagarin
Gagarin, entirely dedicated to the publication of original texts of artists who are now working, anywhere in the world, presents in this edition 7 artists among whom Nora Schultz, Ai Wei Wei et Zdenek Košek.
A typographer by training, Košek first became a fairly conventional artist. When he fell into psychosis, he began to produce works as radical as poetic. Convinced that he plays a decisive role in the sequencing of the world, he spends his time at his window, recording his observations - meteorology, bird flights, insignificant facts - and aggregating them into diagrams supposed to ward off chaos. For fifteen years and across the world, from the Palais de Tokyo to the Maison Rouge, from the MONA (Australia) to the DOX in Prague and The Rencontres d’Arles, his Sibylline maps have been constantly interrogating.
