A celebration of Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster’s exhibition Alienarium 5 at Serpentine South (14 April – 4 September 2022), the catalogue is a richly illustrated journey through this multisensory environment, made up of visions, apparitions, holographic illusion, Virtual Reality experience and scent stretching over several gallery spaces and its surroundings.

In line with the spirit of the exhibition to open up spaces for possible encounters with extraterrestrials, the artist book – in the form of an album – features contributions from two prominent long-time collaborators of the artist, internationally acclaimed novelist Enrique Vila-Matas, and writer, philosopher and curator Paul B. Preciado, as well as writer and academic Tatiana Kontou.

A comprehensive conversation between the artist and Serpentine Artistic Director Hans Ulrich Obrist gives further insight into Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster’s decades-long research into science fiction and apparitions. Designed by John Morgan studio, the publication also includes a poster of Metapanorama, one of the central works in the exhibition, as well as lyrics of the artist’s band Exotourisme.

Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster (b. 1965 in Strasbourg, France) metabolises cinematographic, literary, architectural, musical and pop references to create spaces that investigate the implicit neutrality of artistic practice and display.

Beginning with her participation in the 1992 Exhibit A: Eight Artists from Europe and America and in Serpentine’s Poetry Marathon in 2009, Gonzalez-Foerster has worked closely with the Serpentine for many years. In this time, she has appeared together with writer Enrique Vila-Matas for Park Nights (2010), was involved in the Garden Marathon (2011), Memory Marathon (2012), Transformation Marathon (2015), GUEST, GHOST HOST: MACHINE Marathon (2017), and has done a live concert and EP Release of Exotourisme (2018) for which she also collaborated with musician Perez.
