Into

Into is the first monograph of Vera Kox, spanning over 10 years of the artist's multidisciplinary practice. It is published on the occasion of her solo exhibition Sentient Soil at Konschthal Esch. Vera Kox reflects on the human impact on post-industrial ecologies and their tangible traces, envisioning a transition from a human-centred perspective to a multi-species worldview. In her sculptural practice she acknowledges the inherent agency of the material itself, with a specific emphasis on the ceramic medium.

This richly illustrated volume includes essays by Lisa Robertson, Alison Sperling and Charles Wennig, and a conversation between the artist, Sarah Ihler-Meyer and Marianne Derrien.
