Mr. Goodman: The Kiteman showcases the immense and idiosyncratic collection of Malcolm Goodman, an English engineer turned kite connoisseur. Conceived by Kite Club—a collective of kite enthusiasts comprising creative director Peter Hebbing, industrial designer Bertjan Pot, and the photographers Maurice Scheltens and Liesbeth Abbenes-the volume honors Goodman's expansive life in kiting. Scheltens & Abbenes' photography showcases the graphic impact of the flyable artworks, both as individual pieces and amidst the profusion of Goodman's kite-filled home. Essays by Emily King and Bertjan Pot draw together anecdotes from historical and contemporary kite culture. Developed and designed in collaboration with Maharam, the publication coincides with an exhibition of the same name at the Kunsthal Rotterdam.
