Uriel Orlow – Conversing with Leaves
Exhibition catalogue for Conversing with Leaves by artist Uriel Orlow, an exhibition held at Kunsthalle Mainz, Germany. The catalogue was designed by In the shade of a tree using Laplace Mono from Fatype, paired with an unidentified serif typeface. From Kunsthalle Mainz:
Trees as actors in history, the migration of flowers, and medicinal plants testifying to neo-extractivism – these are some of the themes that Uriel Orlow pursues in his research-based art. Concrete circumstances and developments invariably form the basis of his multi-layered, multi-media works. In recent years his attention has mainly focused on entanglements between the African continent and Europe. Plants are both the narrators and protagonists here, anchoring all the events in the present day.
The bilingual catalogue was edited by Stefanie Böttcher, published by Kunsthalle Mainz and is available from Archive Books Berlin, 2020.
