28 x 21cm. Side-stapled paperback, unpaginated [approx. 70pp]. Illustrated in black and white throughout. The publication takes its title from Joris-Karl Huysmans' 1884 anti-novel 'A rebours' known in English either as "against the grain" or "against nature." This tale of fin-de-siecle decadence tells the story of the Duc Jean des Esseintes, an eccentric aristocrat who recoils from the manners and values of conservative Parisian society and flees to the countryside to immerse himself in art collecting and exotic fetishism. The exhibition at Venus over Manhattan explores the notion of "against the grain" through a selection of more than 50 works including African fetishes and an 18th century royal Hawaiian feather cloak. The artists represented range from Odilon Redon - the favourite of the book's protagonist - to Henri Fuseli, Francesca Woodman, Claude Cahun, Felicien Rops, Franz von Stuck, Lucas Samaras, William Copley, Richard Prince, Jeff Koons, Glenn Brown, Salvador Dali, Walter Dahn, David Hammons, Bernard Buffet, as well as Jeni Spota, Andra Ursuta and Gavin Kenyon and many others. Venus over Manhattan presents exhibitions and projects that expand upon the conventional gallery format through collaborations with artists, dealers, collectors, curators and institutions.…
