Content:
Since the 1960s, Downsbrough has been working on a varied oeuvre that embraces photography, sculpture, installations, artist books and postcards. His work is linked to Minimal Art and Conceptual Art by its innovative approach to space and language.0The new book published by the two museums is a supplement to the artist books that Downsbrough created between 1968 and 2010. It inventorises about 400 postcards that the artist has modified since the 1980s, some of which he sent to friends, fellow artists and curators.0The use of the postcard as a medium is related to Downsbrough?s fascination with urban space. As rather old-fashioned-looking products of our touristic view of the world, these cards show places with iconic monuments or architecture, or more banal, interchangeable ?non-places? such as beaches, harbours and rivers.00Exhibition: Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Gent, Belgium (11.09. - 27.11.2016)
