Following on from the annual theme, we want to capture the moment of growth in the conception, production and distribution of books and knowledge and transform the HGB Gallery into an abstract botanical garden for the day of the fair. Aspects of selection, consolidation and representation will undergo a similarly ambivalent process through the awarding of prizes as the conception of a botanical garden.
The prize-winning books become exhibits in a garden that is formed on the one hand from plants from the offices and workshops of the HGB Leipzig and on the other from Inga Kerber’s artistic position. In this garden, questions about the conditions and infrastructures of awarding prizes are critically synthesized. The space invites visitors to linger and explore both material and immaterial spaces of growth and flourishing.
Gardening activity is of five kinds, namely, sowing, planting, fixing, placing, maintaining. In so far as gardening is an Art, all these may be taken under the one head, composing.
