Abstract

Auf welche Weisen setzen sich die Künste mit ökologischen Fragen auseinander? Welche Vorstellungen von Naturen und Umwelten kommen im Verhältnis von Ökologie und Künsten zum Tragen?Ökologie ist in den letzten Jahren in den Sozial-, Kultur- und Kunstwissenschaften und auch in den Künsten selbst zu einem Schlüsselthema geworden. Dies zeigt eine Vielzahl von künstlerischen Arbeiten, die sich mit Fragen des Lebensraums, der Gestaltung von Natur- und Stadträumen und den Materialitäten der Umwelt auseinandersetzen. Vor diesem Hintergrund nehmen die Beiträge des Bandes die Strategien und Formen in den Blick, in denen ökologische Themen künstlerisch aufgegriffen, verhandelt und in Szene gesetzt werden. Sie zeigen, wie Klima- und Umweltveränderungen sowie deren Folgen für die Lebens- und Handlungsbedingungen in künstlerischen Szenarien erprobt und durchgespielt werden. Mit Beiträgen u.a. von Hartmut Böhme, Bruno Latour, Friedrich von Borries, Evi Zemanek und Benjamin Bühler.

Abstract

"Cet ouvrage présente un ensemble de projets, réalisés ou non, de Georges Descombes sous forme de vingt-et-un leporellos. Un vingt-deuxième les accompagne, une suite de photographies de Carmen Perrin. On peut trouver dans tous ces projets une attention obstinée à ce qui est déjà là, et une même question : que peut devenir ce site, qu'y déplacer? Certains de ces projets ont été réalisés pour diverses manifestations ou expositions artistiques, et cette proximité a eu en retour une grande influence sur eux. Ce furent des occasions de contacts directs avec un monde artistique, agissant comme un "rappel à l'ordre" par des œuvres qui mettaient toutes l'accent sur l'art comme expérience, et qui utilisaient sans aucune hiérarchie tous les matériaux, même les plus pauvres. Et comment mieux définir l'architecture que comme un art par excellence de l'expérience ?" [éditeur]

Abstract

Throughout her extensive career, Russian conceptual artist Irina Nakhova has frequently pushed the limits of what constitutes art and how we experience the art museum. One of her famous early pieces, for instance, transformed a room in her very own Moscow apartment into an art installation. Released in conjunction with Nakhova’s first museum retrospective exhibition in the United States, this book includes many full-color illustrations of her work, spanning the entirety of her forty-year career and demonstrating her facility with a variety of media. It also includes essays by a variety of world-renowned curators and art historians, each cataloging Nakhova’s artistic innovations and exploring how she deals with themes of everyday life, memory, viewer engagement, and moral responsibility. It concludes with a new interview with Nakhova herself, giving new insight into her creative process and artistic goals. Irina Nakhova: Museum on the Edge provides a vivid look at the work of a visionary artist. Published in partnership with the Zimmerli Museum.

Abstract

Dutch artist, Daan Roosegaarde, is one of the most innovative artists to emerge in the past decade. His sculptures and installations, made in collaboration with a team of engineers and designers, aim to create better conditions in cities and to make difficult areas habitable again, by rethinking processes and upgrading urban structures. At the core of Roosegaarde's practice is schoonheid, a Dutch word that stands both for 'clean-ness' and 'beauty.' It is this that has informed some of his most popular public projects, including 'Waterlicht' (a virtual flood that shows the force of water); 'Smog Free Project' (a large outdoor air purifier that turns smog into jewelry), and 'Smart Highway' (an interactive road that charges throughout the day and glows at night).

Abstract

Elmgreen & Dragset's constructed environments have been celebrated all over the world for their mischievous, cerebral, and accessible nature. This is the first comprehensive presentation of the duo's work, from their early performative pieces in the late 1990s to their most recent public projects. Drawing from disciplines as divergent as institutional critique, social politics, performance, design, and architecture, Elmgreen & Dragset's work reconfigure the familiar with characteristic and subversive wit.

Abstract

"Artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset consistently devise new possibilities in the way art is presented and perceived through their subversive and multivalent practice. Published on the occasion of the artists' first US museum survey, this book expands on the eponymous exhibition to cover the breadth of the artists' sculptural production from the mid-1990s through the present day. 'Elmgreen & Dragset: Sculptures'--the first-ever dedicated study of the duo's sculptures--is visually organized according to the aesthetics and conceptual working methods that the artists have employed throughout their career, with five essays approaching their practice from various art-historical and thematic perspectives, accompanied by photographic documentation of 112 of their sculptural works in 198 color illustrations. In her introduction, Leigh Arnold discusses narrative, meaning, and context, and situates their art among the Nasher Sculpture Center's collection of modern and contemporary sculpture. Alex Potts surveys the artists' figurative sculptures, positioning them within statuary traditions and social concerns. David J. Getsy approaches Elmgreen & Dragset's work from the perspective of queer art theory, providing for the first time an in-depth unpacking of the artists' strategy of queering normative formal languages in sculpture. Joan Kee writes about the influence of Minimalism in their work, focusing on the social aspects of their sculpture and incorporating legal angles that shed new light on Elmgreen & Dragset's practice. And Anna Iannocchione, together with Arnold, co-authors the first extensive overview of the artist' achievements in public sculpture."

Abstract

Published to accompany the first UK retrospective of Olafur Eliasson's work, this book is conceived as an illustrated `field guide' to his practice. Featuring a substantial conversation between the artist and the Tate curator Mark Godfrey, as well as a range of short dialogues with a strikingly varied range of people working both inside and outside the arts - from anthropology, economics, political science, and biology to architecture and urbanism, dance, music, and food - the book provides readers with a "compass" to Eliasson's thinking: a 360-degree view of the frames of reference that inform his work. Eliasson builds such conversations into his daily life and work. They help him not only to understand other people's unique fields of knowledge, but also to ask, `What does my understanding of your knowledge do to my understanding of the world?', and touch on topics as wide-ranging as the social and cultural factors that contribute to social trust, the `topography' of scent, the chronobiological effects of light, public space and civic infrastructure, and the power of art. The interweaving of these texts with stunning photography of his remarkable and immersive works provides an insight into what Eliasson calls his ongoing aim of "reaching out into the world". Exhibition: Tate Modern, London, UK (11.07.2019-05.01.2020).

Abstract

Created in close collaboration with the artist, this volume offers an in-depth examination of twenty-five years of Rachel Harrison's room-sized installations, sculptures, drawings, photographs, and books through scholarly essays and a unique plate section. The essays cover topics ranging from the artist's earliest work to recent complex installations and sculptures, which often combine quotidian objects such as metal trash cans and with sculptural elements, including large painted concrete forms, that Harrison creates herself.
