* In collaboration with Yourmind, SeoulOn Reading, Nagoyanos:bookspace, Taipeipon ding, Taipei
For the group exhibition A.ssemble and the event Asian Artbook House, einBuch.haus collaborates with four ‘Books & Gallery’ platforms (Yourmind, On Reading, nos:bookspace, pon ding) located in Asia and exhibits selected books and prints.
Each platform has chosen one artbook for the exhibition and coincidentally the four artists’ works are collage-based. In this exhibition, the seemingly random, cluttered objects and their individual imagery interact effectively with each other, creating a harmonious assemblage in our subconscious.
In the background of developing this project lies the ongoing restrictions on gatherings and travel bans due to the pandemic. Our opportunities to visit other continents or experience different cultures have been scarce and so too in art. However, unlike us, artworks can travel relatively freely. By bringing together artworks from different platforms in Asia to einBuch.haus in Berlin, A.ssemble reminds us the importance of being open-minded, the beauty of harmony and that we can interact regardless of restrictions.
einBuch.haus is a place for everyone. The platform is open to creatives and curators who specialise in artists’ books, for example, as well as to anyone who is interested in books. By presenting artists’ books in its media-specific mobility and accessibility, people from different backgrounds and countries are welcome to participate.
* The project Asian Artbook House (original title: Asian Artbook Club) was
first conceptualised by Yourmind (Seoul, South Korea) in Feb.2021.

3MM, FRAME, IN & OUT (DOMUSONG #1, 2, 3) Yejou Lee
DOMUSONG is a record of Yejou Lee’s first solo exhibition in 2017, Unused Space, as well as works from related projects. This book was born from the ‘scrap paper’ that Lee has collected since 2015 commuting to her own design studio in Chungmuro, the printing district. It talks about the notion of ‘Domusong’ which is the method of cutting out paper into desired shapes after printing, through paper, space, and objects.
DOROTHYTakahiro Murahashi
A collection of works by collage artist Takahiro Murahashi.
In the past, he has used the technique of collage to create two-dimensional works that resemble abstract sculptures. In this work, DOROTHY, by adding more figurative elements and composition, he has created a mysterious work that seems to move between fiction and reality.These mysterious forms, which look like artifacts of some species, idols, super-ancient orphans, or creatures from the future, remind us of sacred beings that are worshipped in our daily lives and in the religious world.
