The book encompases the last five years of Kunath’s practice and is an extension of his unique aesthetic. Complex and playful installations of paintings, sculptures and videos feature a cornucopia of imagery, brought together from such diverse sources as Old Master paintings, slapstick cartoons, anthropomorphized animals, and pop iconography from the 1960s and 70s. A narrative around the emotional life of the artist is enacted through fictional characters, producing an in-between world filled with both humour and pathos. Design by Yvonne Quirmbach in close collaboration with the artist.

This significant publication on André Cadere, compiled by curator Lynda Morris, offers a personal perspective on his role in the 1970s Conceptual Art scene and the relevance of his ideas about ‘space and politics.’ Central to the work is Morris’ detailed chronology of Cadere’s exhibitions, walks, and lectures during the last six years of his life. This research shifts focus from the physical ‘round bars of wood’ to the meaning found in archival documents—gallery invitations, lecture notices, and correspondence—that reflect Cadere’s actions and social relationships. The primary sources for these documents are Morris' archive and the Herbert Collection in Ghent. The publication includes new translations of Cadere’s lectures, notably from Leuven in 1974, and an interview conducted by Morris in 1976. New essays by Morris, British curator Barry Barker, and Italian gallerist Massimo Minini further enrich the text. Accompanying an exhibition at Modern Art Oxford, which will tour to Mu. ZEE Ostend and Artists Space in New York, the publication aims to revive the significance of Cadere’s actions during the economically challenging years of 1972-1978. Cadere’s lecture ‘Space and Politics’ resonates today, emphasizing the dependence of artists on the art world’s dominant forces and the political implications of this relationship.
