Abstract

"The American artist and filmmaker James Benning focuses on the ambivalence that exists between technical progress and the promise of liberty in a culture still bound to its pioneering spirit. His work resonates with a critique of the information society and also an examination of recent US history: specifically of philosopher Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) and mathematician Theodor Kaczynski (*1942). Between 1978 and 1995 the latter became know as the 'Unabomber'. All in all the publication shows the importance of this director's themes, his work so seemingly timeless, for our life today, shaped as it is by technical possibilities both positive and negative. Including texts by Diedrich Diederichsen, Tanja Vrvilo and a conversation between James Benning and Allan MacInnis."--Inside front cover.

Abstract

American sculptor Eva Hesse (b. 1936, Hamburg; d. 1970, New York) is best known for her pioneering work with materials such as rope, latex and fibreglass. She is regarded as one of the artists who ushered in Post-Minimalism in the late 1960s. Her diaries from 1955 to 1970 served as a tool for the artist to analyse her experience of the world and express her feelings.

Abstract

The definitive book on a creative force who continues to influence sculpture and installation art Jessica Stockholder has long broken down the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and architecture to explore the body in social and cultural space - using found objects intertwined with profusions of vivid colours. This revised, updated edition spotlights the extraordinary evolution of her career, and examines the pivotal role she has played in shaping some of the most fundamental ideas around which contemporary sculpture and painting revolve today.

Abstract

The first substantial monograph on an artist whose sculptures capture the proliferation of information and objects in contemporary life. Sarah Sze (b. Boston, 1969, lives and works in New York) has developed a sculptural aesthetic that transforms space through radical shifts in scale, colonizing peripheral spaces, engaging with the history of a building, and altering the viewer's perception and experience of architecture through large, site-specific interventions. Known for her unexpected and carefully arranged combinations of materials, from cotton buds and tea bags to water bottles and ladders, light bulbs and electric fans, Sze has presented ephemeral installations that penetrate walls, suspend from ceilings and burrow into the ground. Her work exists at the intersection of sculpture, drawing and architecture where her formal interest in light, air and movement is coupled with an intuitive understanding of colour and texture. Like the scientific instruments of measurement they often reference, Sze's sculptures attempt to quantify and organize the universe, ascribing a fragile, personal system of order. Within her practice, sculpture becomes both a device for organizing and dismantling information and a mechanism to locate and dislocate oneself in time and space. Sze received a BA from Yale University in Connecticut in 1991 and an MFA from New York's School of Visual Arts in 1997. She is represented by Tanya Bonakdar in New York and Victoria Miro in London. In 2013 she represented the United States at the 55th Venice Biennale. She was the recipient of a MacArthur Fellows Program Genius Grant in 2003 and of the AICA Award for Best Project in a Public Space in 2012.

Abstract

This publication poses the question of Nauman's contemporaneity and situates his oeuvre in the context of artistic positions and art theoretical discourses from the last decades. Six in-depth essays illuminate Nauman's work, such as in regard to its inherent humour or the practice of endless repetition. The volume of texts examines the mirror image and rear-view figures, for example, along with questions of contemporary subject constitution, digital image production and cybernetics. Theories of labour and globalisation are discussed in reference to Nauman's creative output, as well as the connections between Nauman's work and models of behaviourism, software and computer theory, or topology. The essays consider Nauman's oeuvre in relation to diverse artistic positions such as those of Ed Atkins, Erwin Wurm, Francis Alÿs, Fischli / Weiss, Dara Birnbaum, Yvonne Rainer or René Magritte. In so doing, it seeks to counter the tendency to cast the artist as an outstanding solitary figure of postmodernism and opens up manifold references. Exhibition: Schaulager, Münchenstein, Switzerland (17.03. - 26.08.2018) / MoMA, New York, USA (21.10.2018- 17.03.2019).
