Albert Coers' artistic work focuses on installations, conceptual photo and film works and artist's books using found objects and language-related material from inheritances, archives and libraries. He is interested in the book as a material and medium, so that in addition to a plastic-conceptual approach, artist's books make up a large part of his work.
Books to Do is not the usual monograph, it’s a meta-book about already realized and yet to be realized book projects by Albert Coers in the form of a to-do list. It is a collection of ideas and subjects, a self-documentation, self-stimulation, and a joyfully utopian agenda at the same time. But regardless of whether they are real or fictional, Coers' projects all have one thing in common: they are not only very clever, but also funny conceptual works that approach the topics of language, writing, and books in ever new ways.
