Summary, etc. Exhibition catalog. Oct 2011- Jan 2012. Published on the occasion of the exhibition The Inaccessible Poem by Simon Starling at the Fondazione Merz from 29 October 2011 to 15 January 2012. Texts by Simon Starling, Jacob Lillemose, Guillermo Faivovich, Nicolás Goldberg, Hernán Pruden, Maria Centonze. With 14 applied colour plates and 20 black and white illustrations. . Cm 22x16 pp. 60 Paperback (wrappers) Perfect (Mint) Simon Starling is a British conceptual artist. Winner of the Turner prize in 2005 for his work Shedboatshed (Mobile Architecture No 2) , a hut transformed into a boat (to be precise a Weidling , a vessel of Celtic origin) sailed on the Rhine and then reassembled into a hut and exhibited at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Basel. Interested above all in the mental and research process that lies behind the work, Starling nevertheless presents the public with finished products that only hint at their history and whose many and ambitious meanings remain only as 'subtexts', often made legible thanks to a comic effect bordering on the joke . Among the many other projects by S., the video Project for a masquerade (Hiroshima) of 2010, inspired by the work of Henry Moore, the theatrical piece The expedition of 2011 and 1, 1, 2 of the same year, an installation composed of three marble blocks hanging in balance that is a translation of the Fibonacci numerical series. In 2003 he participated in the Venice Biennale . The book goes beyond the concept of a catalogue to transform itself into an artist's book: a sort of notebook, a place of relationships between distant and, indeed, almost or perhaps inaccessible spheres.
