Vanessa Baird. Go Down with Me
On the occasion of Vanessa Baird’s solo exhibition at MUNCH, the museum has published a book in two language variants (Norwegian and English) about the artist and her work. The typefaces in use are Store Norske Leif and Store Norske Leif Mono from Skriftkompani.
Vanessa Baird is confrontational, morbidly funny, even infamous, with her sharp, oblique observations of herself and her times. Go Down with Me, the book accompanying MUNCH’s exhibition of the same name, is richly illustrated with works from her whole career. This includes the installation “You Must Never Go Down to the End of Town if You Don’t Go Down with Me”, created especially for MUNCH, which reflects on the ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip.
Softcover, 22×30cm. Texts by Kari J. Brandtzæg, Trude Schjelderup Iversen, Jon Refsdal Moe and Vegard Vingel, and edited by Heidi Bale Amundsen.
