On the occasion of his exhibition \u003ci\u003eWeltraum\u003c\/i\u003e at the Albertinum in Dresden, Tillmans has created a unique artist's book that places his practice in a thought-provoking dialogue not only with itself, but with the past and present of East and West Germany. \u003ci\u003eThings Matter\u003c\/i\u003e intertwines excerpts from a 1987 Dresden museum inventory with Tillmans' exhibition catalog for his 2003 show \u003ci\u003eIf one thing matters, everything matters\u003c\/i\u003e at Tate Britain, in which he devised a speculative catalogue raisonné of his early work. Both of these titles, now out of print, are revived and remixed in this artist's book which also includes a new conversation with Tillmans, where he reflects on his artistic beginnings and examines the social and aesthetic implications of his work today. All in all, \u003ci\u003eThings Matter\u003c\/i\u003e is a series of associative constellations in the career of Wolfgang Tillmans: an intimate self-exploration set against the backdrop of historical upheavals.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Walther Konig Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51615459606802,"sku":"9783753308197","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_cf5f1cce-3b8f-4570-b7b2-4fdfabd06903.jpg?v=1758096883","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/wolfgang-tillmans-things-matter-9783753308197","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
