Abstract

"Japanese American artist Ruth Asawa (1926-2013) is known for intricate crocheted-wire sculptures, a medium she explored throughout her career after first encountering it as a student at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. After graduating, Asawa moved to San Francisco and created dozens of works in wire and cast metal, among them an iconic bronze fountain--her first of many public commissions--for the city's Ghirardelli Square. Bringing together works from across Asawa's career, this expansive volume examines her output in depth and situates it within the context of 20th-century art"--

Abstract

Since the 1980s Richard Deacon has played a prominent role in contemporary visual arts. He refers to himself as a fabricator, someone who wants to test the resilience of materials, language and the meaning of objects to the very limit. His fascination with the possibilities of the most diverse materials such as wood, textiles, steel, paper, leather, marble, clay, vinyl, corrugated iron, cardboard or PVC drives him from one work to the next, with an awe-inspiring oeuvre as a result. The glue, metal joints, bolts or joints are intentionally visible so that the spectator is constantly reminded of that creation process.The exhibition primarily focuses on 'variations' which could be seen as Deacon's trademark. By once again applying a logical and consistent series of rules to the same basic or starting situation, the artist keeps on shifting a border and adding possible new interpretations, until he arrives at 'new' works of art which will then form part of a series. The title of the exhibition, 'Some Time', refers to its temporary character. Or to a short time frame: things are what they are only for a short time.

Abstract

Bruce Nauman is widely acknowledged as a central figure in contemporary art, and the stringent questioning of values --both aesthetic and moral-- that has long sustained his project remains urgent today. For more than fifty years, Nauman has explored how mutable experiences of time, space, sound, movement, and language provide an insecure foundation for our understanding of our place in the world. This richly illustrated catalogue, which includes rare and previously unpublished images, offers a comprehensive view of the artist's work in all media --including drawings; early fiberglass sculptures; sound environments; architecturally scaled, participatory constructions; rhythmically blinking neons; and a recent 3-D video that harks back to one of Nauman's earliest performances. A wide range of authors --artists, curators, and historians of art, architecture, and film-- focus on topics that have been largely neglected, such as the architectural structures that posit real or imaginary spaces as models for ethical inquiry and mechanisms of control. Curator Kathy Halbreich's introductory essay explores Nauman's many acts of disappearance, withdrawal, and deflection as revelatory of his central formal and intellectual concerns. Eighteen further contributions tease out the various themes that run through this protean and elusive artist's work.
