Recenze Jimmy Robert: The Man Who Envied Women

It is an artist book as well as Robert\'s first substantial overview covering 20 years of work including his most recent exhibitions at Palais de Tokyo/Centre national de la danse, Moderna Museet, Museion, Crac Sète, Nottingham Contemporary and Kunsthalle Baden-Baden.It includes essays by Kirsty Bell, Elisabeth Lebovici, Bart van der Heide, Çagla Ilk & Misal Adnan Yildiz, Karolin Meunier, and Magnus Elias Rosengarten. Edited by Nadja Abt, design by Studio Santiago da Silva. Given that Robert\'s practice is profoundly engaged with im/materiality, paper, texture and performance, the book corresponds with this approach through formal elements, surfaces and papers.Robert also uses it as a platform to crystalize his conceptual and dense, as well as open and processual steps in his work into another medium. The publication further extends the site specificity and spatiality of his exhibitions and re-considers how a body can be perceived in other environments.
