For the third year in a row, Westreich/Wagner Publications participated in Independent, in collaboration with Three Star Books (Paris). W/W and TSB presented a brand new co-publication by Ryan Gander, I’m Trending, a series of 28 brightly colored resin boards that can be presented in their slipcases or installed in a grid formation on the wall, blurring the distinction between book, sculpture, and painting. On the opening evening of Independent, Ryan directed a performance in which he encouraged bystanders to don painted sweatshirts and “blend” into the installation of the boards. Photos of the participants were then posted by Ryan on twitter at http://twitter.com/#!/Trending_NYC.
W/W also launched a new limited edition publication by Chris Evans (with Will Holder), Goofy Audit, and presented previous publications by Atelier (Lucy McKenzie and Beca Lipscombe) and Larry Clark. Further details about all of these projects can be found on the W/W website: http://twaas.com/publications/.
