Cosima Von Bonin, Songs for Gay Dogs
A retrospective of the German artist’s work over the last 10 years.
Edited by Clémentine Proby and Cosima von Bonin.
In the presence of Estelle Hoy.
Les presses du réel, 2024.
Songs For Gay Dogs is at once a book about the work the artist has produced in the last two decades, and a personal look into Cosima’s world.
The book is introduced by Bettina Steinbrügge, Director of Mudam, followed by a play written by Estelle Hoy that gives life to Cosima von Bonin’s recurring characters; and a text by Clémentine Proby, who writes about Cosima’s work in relation to the carnivalesque, its inversion of hierarchies and value systems.
A further chapter of the book, titled Privato, gives the reader a look into the artist’s personal archive.
The book includes 200 illustrations, including previously unseen images and pictures of the the artist’s newly commissioned installation in Mudam’s Grand Hall.
The event will take place in English, in the presence of Estelle Hoy.
