Three Star Books andWestreich/Wagner Publications presented a selection of their publications displayed in an installation designed by artist Rirkrit Tiravanija (b. 1961), and hosted by the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation in St. Mark's Square.
This terrarium installation depicted a wild landscape in which the books of both publishers co-habitated in a rocky terrain. The use of the terrarium is a loaded subject in contemporary art – one recalls the aquariums of Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst or perhaps the naturalist investigations of artist Mark Dion, and the shop window displays of Andy Warhol and the Pop generation.
