This catalogue \u2013 the first posthumous publication on Lutz Bacher \u2013 brings together three newly commissioned essays, installation views of the survey exhibitions Lutz Bacher: Burning the Days presented at Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo, in 2025, and at WIELS, Brussels, 2026, and reproductions of some of the artist\u2019s works \u2013 including extensive documentation of the different parts of the works Jackie & Me (1989), The Lee Oswald Interview (1976-78), Bien Hoa (2006\/2016).<\/p>\n
In her text, Kate Nesin takes The Betty Center \u2014 Bacher\u2019s archive of nearly 300 black binders, later realised as an artwork \u2014 as a point of departure to examine her engagement with archives, containers, and readymade forms. Juliane Rebentisch reads Bacher\u2019s work as a sustained practice of opacity that stages accumulation, self-exposure, humour, and citation to unsettle fixed identities and disrupt the clich\u00e9s through which meaning is usually secured. Finally, Emily LaBarge reads Bacher through the logic of the pun, showing how her works hinge on double meanings and perceptual slippages that make uncertainty the condition of viewing.<\/p>\n
