Michael Stevenson : disproof does not equal disbelief

Published on the occasion of Michael Stevenson’s solo exhibition at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, the two-volume publication Michael Stevenson: Disproof Does Not Equal Disbelief brings together Profiles in Serene Velocity: Book I & II, both designed by Will Holder. The notion of a two-room model has long given structural guidance to Stevenson’s practice and consolidates his ongoing interest in various conflicting knowledge structures, origin myths, or worldviews. Fragments from both volumes read aloud during the launch will provide insights into Stevenson’s practice over the past 35 years. Voiced from the belly of our constructed world the publication highlights that disproving rational theories does not automatically and irrevocably equal disbelief.
