Therefore, an Ogre, the pamphlet/booklet for Helen Marten’s recent exhibition at Greene Naftali in New York, an exhibition contained within language. The title itself is a paradox of reversibility and translation, with the words Ogre and Ergo bound to one another as though seen through a mirror: one a figure of mythological fantasy, the other – meaning.
Designed in collaboration with Matthew Stuart, this limited edition booklet is contained in a silkscreened folder, with a text by the artist and fragments of stolen text dating from 1621-present day.
