Baragouin is an artists’ book by Los Angeles and Berlin-based artist Kim Schoen. The book is a companion piece to a video work of the same name, filmed in a now-closed residential sculpture showroom in Los Angeles. The videoBaragouinpresents these sculptures—which are copies of copies of original works of art—as an important collection of art and records their “voices”—a pastiche of verbal nonsense and phonetically imitated sounds of languages from around the world. The sculptures range in style and geographic origin from Buddhist to Rococo, Neoclassical to Modernist.Baragouin, the book, catalogs these sculptures as a fictional collection and gives them each a clear art-historical provenance based on morphological resemblances.Baragouinis designed by Ella Gold and includes an essay and “provenance” work by Edward Sterrett.
Baragouinis launched in tandem with the exhibitionLanguage for Saleat Edith-Ruth-Haus in Oldenburg, Germany, from March 22 - June 12, 2021, featuring Kim Schoen's video work.
