John Bock

Using a wide range of media, John Bock creates sprawling and experimental immersive tableaus. The artist's new publication Wesenspräsenz No 7b is a continuation of the catalogue Wesenspräsenz No 4d, published in 2017. This extensively illustrated book focuses on Bock's spectacular and extensive actions or lectures, as the artist refers to them. The ?early' lectures were produced in formats that not only defined the beginnings of Bock's artistic practice but also inform the meaning of his later work. Thus, they play an important role for the general understanding of his oeuvre.
