The catalouge accompanied the 2023 exhibition at ARKEN, and features an extensive collection of Per Kirkeby’s brick works.

Existing publications on Kirkeby have a monograph-fitting size to them, meaning often large in format, hardback, solid, heavy books. We wanted to lean into Kirkeby’s dream-like literary qualities, drawing on his work as a poet and include the more chaotic looking sketches made for planning the minimalist and architectural sculptures. In particular we where inspired by his own published writings, so soft and simple.

The catalouge features texts by Melanie Kitti, Theis Ørntoft, Rasmus Myrup, Mette Moestrup, Lea Gulditte Hestelund and Prince Henry Kwesi Asare.
