Writer Lucy Ives delves into a 1960-70s project by German curator Johannes Cladders to ‘publish’ limited-edition boxes (of objects and ephemera). Instead of the usual staid catalogue essays that accompany shows, these kassettenkataloge expanded exhibitions by Bernd & Hilla Becher, Jasper Johns, and an emerging Joseph Beuys (image, 1967). Prompted by a new monograph on Cladder’s venture, Ives apraises the initiative as democratization, experimental publishing, and relative to the curator’s driving “anti-museum” mandate.
