First monograph.
The book
Edith Karlson: Hora lupi is published alongside the exhibition
Hora lupi by artist Edith Karlson at the Estonian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale (2024). The visually rich publication brings together multifaceted texts from overviews of Karlson's work and the history of the location of
Hora lupi in Venice to more poetic approaches from writers of very different age. It also includes a thorough documentation of the project from its early stages to the finished installation at the Pavilion. The book features contributions by sixteen artists and writers: Cecilia Alemani, Maria Arusoo, Bärbel Balodis, Eero Epner, Edith Karlson, Nikolai Karlson,
Quinn Latimer, Emilia Palmipuu, Alana Proosa, Risto Pärna, Agne Raceviciute, Melany Raud, Dieter Roelstraete, Mona Lee Tšetõrkina, Anu Vahtra, Piero Vespignani.
Edith Karlson (born 1983) is an Estonian artist based in Tallinn who is mostly working with large-scale installations. In Karlson's sculptural practice, animals and people are the main protagonists. Her often large-scale sculptural pieces produced by means of mixed techniques show a variety of characters, from ceramic dogs to cement dinosaurs and Neanderthals, composed into intricate installations.
