Synopsis
- An artistic reflection on the impact of David Adjaye's architecture for the Idea Stores in London
- Features a conversation with David Adjaye highlighting the architect's intentions for London's new public neighbourhood libraries
Daniela Keiser ranks among the most renowned contemporary artists in Switzerland. In 2017 she was awarded the Prix Meret Oppenheim as well as a studio grant from Landis & Gyr Stiftung that enabled her to embark on an extended stay in London's East End. There she discovered the Idea Store, the public library on Whitechapel Road built by British architect David Adjaye in 2001-05. Upon its opening to the public, this institution quickly became a meeting place for a broad spectrum of society including for socially disadvantaged people. The goal of the Idea Stores - eight of them have so far been opened in various London boroughs - is to enhance formerly neglected neighbourhoods and offer a low-threshold source of education and information.
From that initial Idea Store on Whitechapel Road, Daniela Keiser began to take pictures of the goings-on in the street outside. Her Library - Idea Store series reveals a calm, repetitive but insistent image of the city and offers insight into the small everyday variations of the surrounding world. Her photographic reflection is accompanied by a conversation between David Adjaye and art and architecture historian Philip Ursprung. They talk about Keiser's perception of the site and - without actually showing the building - the impact of urban design and the architect's intentions.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Daniela Keiser is among the most renowned contemporary artists in Switzerland. In 2017 she was awarded the Prix Meret Oppenheim, and a studio grant from Landis & Gyr Stiftung that offered her an extended stay in London's East End. There she discovered the Idea Store, the public library on Whitechapel Road, built by British architect David Adjaye in 2001-05. Upon its opening to the public this institution quickly became a meeting place also for socially disadvantaged people. The goal of the Idea Stores-eight of them have currently been opened in various London boroughs-is to upgrade neglected neighborhoods and offer a low-threshold source of education and information. From that initial Idea Store on Whitechapel Road, Daniela Keiser began to take pictures of the goings-on in the street outside. Her Library-Idea Store series reveals a calm, repetitive insistent image and offers insight into the everyday variations in the surroundings. Her photographic reflection is accompanied by a conversation with David Adjaye conducted by art and architecture historian Philip Ursprung. They talk about Keiser's perception of the site and-without actually showing the building-the impact of urban design and the architect's intentions.; Daniela Keiser gehört zu den renommiertesten Gegenwartskünstlerinnen der Schweiz. 2017 wurde ihr der Prix Meret Oppenheim verliehen, und sie verbrachte durch ein Atelierstipendium der Stiftung Landis & Gyr mehrere Monate im Londoner East End. Dort entdeckte sie den 2001 bis 2005 vom britischen Architekten David Adjaye gebauten Idea Store, eine Londoner Stadtbibliothek, die rasch auch zu einem Treffpunkt für sozial benachteiligte Menschen geworden ist. Ziel der Idea Stores - bislang wurden insgesamt acht davon eröffnet - ist es, vernachlässigte Quartiere aufzuwerten und Bildung und Information anzubieten. Daniela Keiser fotografierte aus dem ersten Idea Store an der Whitechapel Road das Treiben auf der Strasse. Ihre Fotoserie verrät einen ruhigen, repetitiv insistierenden Blick und gewährt Einblick in die alltäglichen Variationen in der Umgebung. Ihre fotokünstlerische Reflexion wird von einem Gespräch begleitet, das der Kunst- und Architekturhistoriker Philip Ursprung mit David Adjaye führte. Sie thematisieren die Wahrnehmung des Orts durch Daniela Keiser und - ohne das Gebäude zu zeigen - die Wirkung der Stadtplanung sowie die Intentionen des Architekten. Seller Inventory # 9783038602347
