The title of the book acknowledges the single instance of the word in the first chapter of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, and it is also a reference to Jennifer Bloomer's Assemblage 5 article "In the Museyroom"-a literary journey into John Soane's own house museum, referenced…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
A collection of color photographs that show mobile people in static spaces (museums). The book contains more than 300 images of people and art intersecting formally and informally in museum spaces around the world. Many of the blurred images create impromptu relationships between the museum visitors and the art work. The title of the book acknowledges the single instance of the word in the first chapter of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, and it is also a reference to Jennifer Bloomer's Assemblage 5 article "In the Museyroom"-a literary journey into John Soane's own house museum, referenced obliquely, like everything else in Joyce's work-that was published in 1988.
Autorenporträt
Mikesch Muecke grew up in the forests and fields that surround the hamlet of Spork-Eichholz (now Detmold) in the princedom of Lippe in northwestern Germany before realizing that he wouldn't be happy to stay put. After graduating from the nearby Gymnasium in Lemgo, he took off with a friend to settle in Canada, and quickly found out that there was a gap between projection and reality. He continued to work and travel for a year through Mexico and the United States, met his wife in Hyde Park, Chicago, returned to Germany for five years, and then settled in the United States for good in 1985. After studying architecture at the University of Florida and Princeton University, he started teaching at Iowa State University where he been lives, designs, and writes since 1995. In 2005 he started his own peer-review publishing house, Culicidae Press, LLC, followed by Obvious Press (a personal imprint and the venue for this book). Since then has designed and published numerous books, websites, and other media vehicles for a wide variety of clients. For more information go to www.polytekton.com
