Daniela Keiser ranks among the most renowned contemporary artists in Switzerland. In 2017 she was awarded the Prix Meret Oppenheim as well as a studio grant from Landis & Gyr Stiftung that enabled her to embark on an extended stay in London's East End. There she discovered the Idea Store, the public library on Whitechapel Road built by British architect David Adjaye in 2001-05. Upon its opening to the public, this institution quickly became a meeting place for a broad spectrum of society including for socially disadvantaged people. The goal of the Idea Stores - eight of them have so far been opened in various London boroughs - is to enhance formerly neglected neighbourhoods and offer a low-threshold source of education and information. From that initial Idea Store on Whitechapel Road, Daniela Keiser began to take pictures of the goings-on in the street outside. Her Library - Idea Store series reveals a calm, repetitive but insistent image of the city and offers insight into the small everyday variations of the surrounding world. Her photographic reflection is accompanied by a conversation between David Adjaye and art and architecture historian Philip Ursprung. They talk about Keiser's perception of the site and - without actually showing the building - the impact of urban design and the architect's intentions.

Following the three-part exhibition series THE BIG SHOW (NICC, Antwerp, April - November 2001), this publication continues the exhibition's outlines to approach issues of exoticism, collective memory, globalization, utopia and alterity in a demanding way. THE BIG SHOW is inevitably part of a climate of post-colonial and global cultural interests, without identifying itself totally with them. Rather the series of exhibitions and this publication form a searching interrogation of the ways in which decolonization and globalization can be seen in the context of a wider debate surrounding cultural production and representation, without thereby having to lead to an iconoclasm of the center of image production.

THE BIG SHOW chooses to approach globalization indirectly from three different views. The first path is historical, retracing globalization to a highly problematic post-colonial mentality; with two specific bodies of work by Tshibumba Kanda Matulu and W. Eugene Smith, 'A Congo Chronicle - A Man of Mercy' highlights the complexities surrounding colonial memory. The second chapter, 'Healing', traces that trauma - as part of a larger cluster that defines our conceptions of globalization - to a broader cultural present. 'Healing' simulates the gathering of all elements that would allow for shifts in collective memory to be reconstructed. Part three, 'Demonstration Room: Ideal House' is utopian; the revolutionary potential of the house and the city are reconsidered from the specific situation of Latin America, but still within a broader international context, rethinking the evolutionary potential present there in actuality or rhetorically.
