The exhibition Kboek-Round Production was part of Marit Shalem's project 'Points for Production'; an artistic research into aspects of work and production. Her research refers to terms taken from capital economy, the rhythm of daily work and the momentum of an idea. It carries no direct activist, moralist or academic claim. The book is a gathering of different interpretations and is based on the idea of the conglomerate, an overall corpus, built through clotting a varied number of functioning organs.

More information on the participating artists and pictures of the show can be found under project.
