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. “ – Anja Lückenkemper
