A Greater Miracle of Perception

This catalogue explores how miracle making—making the impossible possible—is reflected in artistic practices today. It includes commissioned essays and poetry by the Miracle Workers Collective and writers close to the collective (catalogue of the exhibition at the Finnish Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale).

If people have been engaging with the possible "and the way the world is today is the result of the possible that they did," then what would be the results of imagining and engaging with the impossible? —Miracle Workers Collective

This publication comes with three different covers (red, yellow, green), randomly distributed.
