DigitalFusion Creative Technologies Inc., with DCA Fine Art, is proud to announce the featured inclusion of C. G. Jung’s “The Red Book” in the 55th annual Biennale de Venezia – including examples of the Official Limited Edition ‘Red Book’ prints, newly released by DigitalFusion. The venerable Venice Biennale, including this debut presentation of the “Red Book” prints, is on view to the public from June 1 to November 24, 2013 (with a preview from May 29 to May 31).
Displaying The Red Book itself at the heart of the “Encyclopedic Palace” exhibition in the Venice Biennale’s Central Pavilion, Biennale Curator Massimiliano Gioni will surround the book with 40 of DigitalFusion’s fine-art prints…
Renowned psychiatrist Carl G. Jung, one of the most influential thinkers of the last century, created his 205-page handwritten and illustrated “Red Book” (officially titled Liber Novus) between 1914 and 1930, adding to it sporadically until the very year of his death in 1961. The Jung Foundation (Stiftung der Werke von C. G. Jung) and the psychiatrist’s family had kept it under lock and key until agreeing to allow it on an exhibition tour and permitting it to be published in facsimile, by W. W. Norton & Co., in 2009-2010. DigitalFusion was a key participant in that turn of events, producing master print images from original scans it made in Zürich when the book was released from the family vault. The company has since maintained a close relationship with the Jung family and Foundation, and has received their exclusive authorization to undertake the “Red Book” print initiative. The Foundation, which is providing certification to every impression, will benefit from all sales of the limited-edition prints.
Granted exclusive access to The Red Book, DigitalFusion recorded the original volume utilizing a hyper-accurate sonar-focused photographic scanning process, thus bringing together and building upon the latest and most exacting reproduction technology. The Norton/DigitalFusion facsimile edition attained new levels of precision in matching original subtleties of color, hue, and even page grain. DigitalFusion’s limited-edition fine art prints now exceed even those standards.
Displaying The Red Book itself at the heart of the “Encyclopedic Palace” exhibition in the Venice Biennale’s Central Pavilion, Biennale Curator Massimiliano Gioni will surround the book with 40 of DigitalFusion’s fine-art prints, allowing scrutiny of many of the full-page drawings Jung made based on his dreams. A week-long seminar based on The Red Book, led by Jung historian Sonu Shamdasani, is being planned for Venice in early August.

DigitalFusion, in conjunction with DCA Fine Art, is releasing limited-edition prints of the “Biennale 40” and 37 other images. The DCA team will oversee the strategic launch of these limited-edition prints, contacting galleries and museums about the display and sale of the prints to collectors for the first time. They will also initiate a dialogue with the art world regarding the historical and artistic merit of this very important body of work. The prints will make their American debut in Los Angeles, at the DigitalFusion/DCA “Red Book” Gallery, in July (dates TBA).
