Abstract

Since its establishment in 1981, Renato Maurizio Architekten has consistently reflected a particular style in its designs. This architectural language is characterised by a distinctive form that explicitly deals with the character of the alpine region, working to preserve the identity of place while creating an architecture tailored to the respective needs of location and programme. Although some designs take up the traditions of the context, at the same time their modernity and adaptation to today’s needs are deliberately emphasised. This monographic volume presents twelve works that represent the essence of Renato Maurizio’s practice, from stone houses to timber structures.

Abstract

Fondé en 2010 par Maurizio Cattelan et le photographe Pierpaolo Ferrari (Le Dictateur), Toilet Paper est un magazine sans équivalent. Dans le sillage de Permanent Food et de Charley, les projets cultes de Cattelan, Toilet Paper, mi-livre d'artistes, mi-magazine, interroge notre obsession contemporaine pour les images en explorant nos désirs et pulsions les plus indicibles. Constitué exclusivement de photographies, dont chacune est minutieusement construite au sein d'un environnement mental spécifique, Toilet Paper pervertit les codes de l'iconographie médiatique, empruntant à la mode, à la publicité, au cinéma, combinant photographie commerciale, récits visuels tordus et imagerie surréaliste pour créer une série de tableaux saisissants, mélanges de normalité dérangeante et de troublante ambiguïté, devant lesquels l'effroi se mêle au plaisir visuel. Œuvre d'art en tant que telle, Toilet Paper interroge aussi, de par l'accessibilité du format magazine et une large distribution, la nature et les limites du marché de l'art contemporain. ToiletMartin PaperParr Magazine' is a new, special edition of 'Toiletpaper' published by Damiani. This unique edition celebrates a new suite of pictures presenting a back-to-back of images made in collaboration with Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari on the one side and Martin Parr on the other. The recipe is very tasty: the founders of 'Toiletpaper' hosted Martin Parr as a special guest and asked him to form a dialogue with 'Toiletpaper' images, coming back to them with a photograph from his archive for each image. The result is a rapid succession of images in which irony, subversion and provocation force the viewer to the impelling discovery of the next pair of images.

Abstract

Since the earliest myths of the sculptor Pygmalion bringing a statue to life through desire, artists have explored the boundaries between sculpture and the physical materiality of the body. This groundbreaking volume examines key sculptural works from 13th-century Europe to the global present, revealing new insights into the strategies artists deploy to blur the distinction between art and life. Sculpture, which has historically taken the human figure as its subject, is presented here in myriad manifestations created by artists ranging from Donatello and Degas to Picasso, Kiki Smith, and Jeff Koons. Featuring works created in traditional media such as wood and marble as well as the unexpected such as wax, metal, and blood, Like Life presents sculpture both conventional and shocking, including effigies, dolls, mannequins, automata, waxworks, and anatomical models. Containing texts by art and cultural historians as well as interviews with contemporary artists, this is a provocative exploration of three-dimensional representations of the human body.
