Coinciding with an exhibition at Kunsthal Rotterdam, this book showcases the immense and idiosyncratic collection of Malcolm Goodman, an engineer turned kite connoisseur. Conceived by Kite Club – a collective of kite enthusiasts comprising creative director Peter Hebbing, industrial designer Bertjan Pot, and photographers Maurice Scheltens and Liesbeth Abbenes – the volume honours Goodman’s expansive life in kiting. Pictures showcase the graphic impact of the flyable artworks, as both individual pieces and amidst the profusion of Goodman’s kite-filled home. Essays by Emily King and Bertjan Pot gather anecdotes from historical and contemporary kite culture.
