The Carousel Collection

"Nostalgia. It's delicate... but potent. Teddy told me that in
Greek, "nostalgia" literally means, "the pain from an old wound". It's a
twinge in your heart, far more powerful than memory alone. This device
isn't a spaceship. It's a time machine. It goes backwards, forwards. It
takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It's not called the
Wheel. It's called a Carousel. It lets us travel the way a child
travels. Around and around, and back home again... to a place where we
know we are loved."
*Don Draper in the US-American TV series Mad Men, season 1, episode 13

The artist Triin Tamm was born in Paide, Estonia, in 1982. She lives and works in Antwerp. On the occasion of her exhibition "Retrospective" (2009) at the OUI Center for Contemporary Art in Grenoble, a comprehensive artist's book was published. Triin Tamm works regularly with the Swiss publishing house Rollo Press (Zurich), which most recently published "A Stack of Books as well as it is A Book of Stacks" (2012). As an edition for the Contemporary Artists' Books Conference at the NY Art Book Fair 2012, Triin Tamm published her latest book "bookcatalogtest" (2012) in collaboration with Rollo Press. Based on a personality test developed by the Swiss psychiatrist Moritz Tramer in the 1950s ("Der Bücherkatalogtest als charakterologisches Prüfmittel. Theory and Practice", 1953), Tamm developed a new test for adults in which the books listed are also assigned to specific life-world categories. Readers are invited to make a selection from a list of book titles and to test themselves - or others - using the enclosed instructions.
