The artist book ‘Koenraad Dedobbeleer. Compensating Transient Pleasurable Excitations’ is published in conjunction with the exhibitions ‘The Desperate, Furiously Positive Striving of People Who Refuse to Be Dismissed’ at Extra City (05.04 – 25.05.2014) and ‘A Quarrel in a Faraway Country Between People of Whom We Know Nothing’ at GAK, Bremen (01.11.2014 – 25.01.2015).

Its initial spark originated in the framework of the exhibition ‘Up Close & Personal’, held at Cultuurcentrum Mechelen (06.04 – 16.06.2013). The premises of the Cultuurcentrum’s classical, museum styled exhibition halls serve as a container for an imaginative exhibition. The present publication lists the complete catalogue for that undertaking.
