What Are People For?

Dieses Künstlerbuch ist im Rahmen von Anna McCarthy's Einzelausstellung im Kunstverein Göttingen (18. Juni - 31. Juli 2017) erschienen. "In >What Are People For?< McCarthy expands her research into the topic of hunting and scavenger hunts. She approaches this line of inquiry by laying a plethora of associative and idiosyncratic traces-methaphorical as well as visual-for the visitor and reader to follow and explore. McCarthy opens up her notebook and allows a gaze into a tightly-knit universe of coupling thoughts and linking researches, a visualized stream of consciousness bringing ideas or events together. In the same way as the question »what are people for?« can never truly be answered, McCarthy's artistic presentation >What Are People For?< can never be completely understood-yet it offers the audience a volume of entry points to navigate and follow through the exhibition space and the artist book respectively.
