Abstract

"In this important new survey, Catherine Wood proposes performance not as a genre of art separate from object-making but as an attitude that has infiltrated the entire terrain of contemporary art. From the musical-theatricals of Marvin-Gaye Chetwynd to the public encounters created by Tino Seghal and the social activism of Tania Bruguera, a hugely divergent set of practices has emerged in the past twenty to thirty years which embrace the worlds of sculpture and painting, spectacle and protest. Examining in turn individual, social and object-based approaches in the field, Wood first examines the influential performance art of the 1960s to 1980s: the body art of the Viennese actionists; the raw performances of Yoko Ono and Chris Burden; and the experiments of the Japanese Gutai group among others. She then explores how these sources have been revisited, reformed or rejected by contemporary artists in the twenty-first century. This impressive book encompasses international artists who fall outside the traditional European and North American focus, giving the reader the broadest and most up-to-date insight into the subject yet published."--

Abstract

Rendered in pallid, ghostly tones, Silke Otto-Knapp's watercolors and gouaches recall turn-of-the-century painters such as Bakst, or children's illustrators like Arthur Rackham. Her delicately delineated vignettes of encounters, dances and isolate doings seem to take place beyond a veil, in a submarine realm of amphitheaters and botanical gardens. Present Time Exercise surveys her work from the past five years.

Abstract

La Tate Modern (Londres), la Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection (Paris), le K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, (Düsseldorf) et le Moderna Museet (Stockholm) s'associent pour présenter « Ghost and Spirit », une rétrospective de l'œuvre de Mike Kelley, figure incontournable de la scène californienne des années 1980 à 2000. Le travail de Kelley est inspiré par diverses sources, telles que l'histoire, la philosophie, la politique, la musique underground, les arts décoratifs et l'expression artistique du milieu ouvrier. Son art traite souvent des problèmes de classe et de sexe comme des problèmes de norme, de criminalité et de perversion. Le 31 janvier 2012, Mike Kelley est retrouvé mort chez lui, à Los Angeles. Il avait 57 ans.

Abstract

Tenant à la fois du documentaire et de la fiction, le travail de Joachim Koester (né en 1962 à Copenhague, vit et travaille à Copenhague et New York) revisite et réactive certaines formes du passé tout en s'attachant aux questions de la conscience et de l'altération des sens. L'artiste développe un principe récurrent de montage de l'image pour s'emparer d'une mémoire collective et mener une exploration à caractère aussi bien géographique que mental. Dans cette enquête permanente sur l'épreuve du temps et de l'effacement, Joachim Koester se nourrit de la dualité entre rapport scientifique au réel et expérience sensible. Ainsi, les lieux chargés d'histoire puis désertés, vers lesquels il se tourne, accomplissent souvent, dans leur représentation photographique ou filmique, cette abolition volontaire des frontières entre approche conceptuelle et empirisme.

Abstract

"Embracing reductive geometry, industrial fabrication and repetitive forms, German artist Charlotte Posenenske (1930–85) developed a form of mass-produced minimalism that addressed the pressing socioeconomic concerns of the 1960s by circumventing the art market and rejecting established formal and cultural hierarchies. Posenenske exhibited widely during the brief period that she was active as an artist (1956–68), alongside peers such as Hanne Darboven, Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt. Featuring metallic endpapers that echo her aesthetic, Charlotte Posenenske: Work in Progress traces the evolution of Posenenske's practice from early experiments with mark-making and the transitional aluminum wall reliefs to industrially fabricated modular sculptures produced in unlimited series and assembled or arranged by viewers at will."--
