Prospectus

Since 1988 Kinmont’s work has been project-based with an interest in archiving and blurring the boundaries between artistic production, publishing and curatorial practices. Prospectus 1988–2010 is a collection of Kinmont’s project descriptions, written over a twenty-two-year period. The projects occur in places as varied as his own home, out on the street, in strangers’ homes, and in various exhibitions such as Documenta 11.

This book replaces the sold-out eponymous title from 1997. It is printed with lead type on acid-free paper and Smythe-sewn, and the color illustrations are printed with polymer plates. The current monograph is printed in letterpress with lead type and is sponsored by Kunstverein Amsterdam and New York, the Kadist Art Foundation, Air de Paris and the Fales Library at New York University.
