The Triple Folly presents the rich collaboration between artist
Thomas Demand, architects Caruso St John, and textile makers
Kvadrat which produced an astonishing new pavilion for Kvadrat’s
Ebeltoft campus. The basis of the building is three found paper
objects – a legal pad, a paper plate, and a soda jerk hat –
which Demand brought to Caruso St John with the simple question:
‘Can you make this into architecture?’ In response, the
architects created a sculptural tripartite folly, a kind of
inhabitable still life poised on the area’s rolling seaside
hillocks, encompassing a meeting room, a kitchen, and a flexible
living space which holds a textile work by the artist Rosemarie
Trockel. Inspired by Kvadrat’s role as a celebrated textile
producer, Demand initially pursued the idea of the tent as an
archetypal architectural structure with many iterations across
contexts of leisure and shelter, simplicity and grandeur.
Translating these concepts into his own artistic idiom of paper, he
tasked Caruso St John with materialising this lightness of form,
with a touch of his distinctive, duplicitous whimsy. The final
building, completed in September 2022, achieves this through a
harmonious sequence of steel and fibreglass structures which create
their environments through the fall of light and shadow, textured
opacity and welcoming transparency. This publication presents
extensive images of the completed buildings alongside in-depth
illustrated conversations with Frank Gehry, Denise Scott Brown,
Adam Caruso, Valerie Verhack, Anders Byriel, Emilie Appercé, and
Thomas Demand.
The Dailies collects snapshots of a world unmistakably our own yet
equally strange. Made through Thomas Demand's renowned practice of
constructing, photographing, and destroying meticulous paper
models, this series captures minor, everyday moments based on
iPhone photographs. Viewed together, they are an inventory of
traces - signs of consumption, evidence of people just departed or
out of sight, spectres of things left behind. Demand describes the
series as a form of Haiku: simple fragments strung together to
inspire reflection and help us take stock of our daily lives. Just
as they trigger deja vu through their performed, minimal
repetition, they ask us to look again, and afresh, to discover an
ordinary yet enlightening beauty. This new volume brings together
the entirety of Demand's series to date in an expanded edition
interwoven with an extended essay by critic Hal Foster.

"Animations" accompanies the first museum exhibition to focus on
the films and videos of the acclaimed contemporary German artist
and photographer Thomas Demand (born 1964). Demand is best known
for his large-scale color photographs of objects or sites taken
from images in the popular media, which he painstakingly
reconstructs in paper. With these new films and videos, Demand has
taken this practice to the next stage, extending his investigations
in to real time and space by animating his paper constructions. The
primary focus of the volume is the two-minute tour de force video
entitled "Pacific Sun," which takes place in a cruise ship bar
during a violent storm at sea. This volume--the first to survey
Demand's films and videos--brings these latest works back full
circle, but as video stills. Also included is a major essay on the
artist by the acclaimed photo critic Michael Fried.
