ABC CATALOGUE IN COOPERATION WITH MOUSSE

For this year's edition Mousse Publishing has published the abc exhibition catalogue distributed as of 7 September and on sale at the fair or directly through moussepublishing.com. Designed with a hybrid format - a cross between a magazine, essay and novel - the abc catalogue will be a valuable guide for visitors but also an instrument to find and collect information for those who want to investigate painting and its influence on today's world. It is a publishing project with a powerful visual and publishing identity that will include a selection of special contributions by Nick Currie, Marc Glöde, Rita Kersting and Dieter Roelstraete, as well as a conversation between Kirsty Bell and Alexander Schröder. In short, it will serve as a statement on the state of painting today.http://www.moussepublishing.com/printed/abc/abc.php
