KENNON, Brian
Untitled #2 / KE

Finding it’s starting point (plus its dimensions and page count) within a 2001 Michael Krebber artist's book/catalogue from Kunstverein Braunschweig, Untitled #2 / KE is a two-part book that together, like much of Brian Kennon’s work, uses looking as a form of production. The first section, "Untitled #2," assembles reproductions of artworks and book pages from Martin Creed, Rainer Ganahl, Mike Kelley, Martin Kippenberger, Michael Krebber and Rosemarie Trockel. This “group show” or visual essay ekes out a figure from head to seat while exploring the reciprocal and permeable relationship between artist and audience. Part two, "KE," completes this traversal of the figure with a series of eight photographs by Kennon of a spread from the above mentioned Krebber catalogue lying on his studio floor, open to a pair of the painter's monochrome paintings, K and E.
