Clarisse Fahrtmann from the publications department of Mudam joined us on the Breakfast Show to talk us through us through what goes on behind the scenes of a part of the museum, which some might be less familiar with but which is an important part of the museum’s output.
Clarisse studied art history at Central Saint Martins and NYU before beginning to work in publishing in New York. Before joining the team at MUDAM she worked at Sotheby's putting together their sales catalogs.
Clarisse is responsible for putting together the books that Mudam publish alongside their programme of exhibitions. From making editorial decisions about what to include with a book, working with graphic designers to choosing which materials and paper to use she oversees the process of creating the books from start to finish.
Recently Clarisse has worked on books for Zoe Leonard and Peter Halley and is currently working on a book about the work of Luxembourgish artist Michel Majerus who currently has an exhibition running at the museum.
Next time you're in MUDAM make a point of visiting the gift shop and checking out their publications!
