María Berrío – special edition with print

Produced in close dialogue with the artist, this special volume expands on the themes of the exhibition María Berrío: The End of Ritual.

In his essay, A Call to the Stage, Siddhartha Mitter draws together the strands of concept, reference, material and process that define what he describes as Berrío’s ‘most tactile work yet.’   

Tactility runs through the design of the book, by Atelier Dyakova, which features special papers selected by the artist, numerous details of the works in the exhibition, along with studio photography by Gautier Deblonde.

María Berrío provides a commentary around the thoughts and process that brought this new body of work into being, detailing her collaboration with Andrea Miller and her dance company GALLIM. Photographs of the collaboration are featured.

Also reproduced is a recent series of paintings, entitled A Feast for Ammit – a fictitious, three-act play devised by the artist that tells a story of intrigue, infatuation and, ultimately, tragedy.

This limited edition book is one of fifty accompanied by
