Although this catalogue is produced on the occasion of Germain Koh’s exhibition Personal, its scope exceeds that of the show and provides a context for the ephemeral projects in relation to the artist’s larger practice. Jan Allen’s essay identifies threads of continuity in Koh’s work and examines the ways in which these projects reflect and comment on social change. The artist’s recent work flags a shifting relationship between individuals, and between individuals and society as a whole, changes that are rarely observed because they happen incrementally.
Exhibition dates: 5 July–24 August 1997, Agnes Etherington Art Centre
