MICRO, CONTACT, STRINGS & THINGS

Brussels, Belgium, 2013

"This publication shows how an alternative management company functions, and how it offers possibilities to a dozen talented artists to profile themselves in an original way. An extensive archive provides a chronological overview of all 75 completed projects and collaborations set up by Margarita Production between 2003 and 2013." Excerpt from MER. website.

"Micro, contact, strings & things is a publication that reads like an inspirational sketchbook which shows us a unique image of an altered art practice by a young generation performing artists." Julie Rodeyns, H art

"With its design of Überknackig that is chic and cheap - that glitter cover! - this publication feels like a poetry book, that friendship booklet that we gave to each other in school and that's appropriate: Above all Margarita remains a class populated by fellow artists."
Ive Stevenheydens, Agenda, BDW
