Abstract

Richly illustrated catalog on the occasion of the exhibition Walid Raad – Let’s be honest, the weather helped, organized by Moderna Museet, Stockholm (February 15 – May 10 2020), and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (May 15 – October 13 2019). Besides installation views, the book includes illustrated text contributions by Fredrik Liew and Maria Minera, and a script of Raad’s entire 75-minute performance/walktrough Kicking the Dead and/or Les Louvres that accompies the exhibition.

Walid Raad engages in how violence affects bodies, minds, culture and tradition. In his works, Raad proceeds from historical events to imagine seemingly ludicrous, bizarre, and wondrous situations and documents. The projects are closely linked to his experiences of growing up in Beirut during the civil war in Lebanon, moving to New York, and being an artist in a globally expansive art world.

Abstract

Since the late 1960s Bruce Nauman has established a completely new understanding of contemporary art and has been acknowledged as one of the most relevant artists of the twentieth century. Both the last modern artist and - because of his ceaseless experimental approach to new media - the very first contemporary artist, Nauman has been noted for his landmark conceptual approach against which much contemporary art of today can be measured.0Focusing in particular on his experiments with sound, the moving image and immersive installations, this book comprises texts on Nauman's video works of the 1980s and 1990s, as well as on his studio practice and more recent work, along with a conversation between the artist and Andrea Lissoni and Nicholas Serota. Accompanying a momentous exhibition at Tate Modern, this richly illustrated book reveals Nauman as an artist who has uniquely blazed a trail in both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
