Abstract

This two-volume publication highlights two key threads in the work of artist Piero Manzoni (1933–63). Materials covers Manzoni’s years of prolific creation leading up to his untimely death, during which time he experimented with a wide variety of materials in his paintings, including sewn cloth, cotton wool, fiberglass, synthetic and natural fur, straw, cobalt chloride, stones, fluorescent polystyrene, pellets, packaging and more. Lines delves into the eponymous body of work, which is of fundamental importance to his well-known Achromes―paintings without color, which aimed to strip his work of any trace of expression. Extensively illustrated, both volumes feature several art historical essays alongside a host of archival material, making this one of the most comprehensive sources on the artist to date.

Abstract

The work of influential Swiss artist John Armleder (born 1948) has spanned many mediums, from his distinctive Furniture Sculptures to his Fluxus performances with the Écart collective, from his diverse painting series to his drawing practice, from his striking installations and wall paintings to his numerous collaborative works. Published to accompany two simultaneous exhibitions--one a rare retrospective, and one an exhibition of installation and total environments--'John Armleder: The Grand Tour' immerses the reader in the artist's world. Each copy of the book features a unique cover by the artist, treated with special color inks and glitter. An extensive interview with the artist, an essay about Armleder's painting and its historical relevance by curator Heidi Zuckerman, and a complete biography and bibliography supply a grand synthesis of Armleder's influential oeuvre. As Zuckerman puts it in her essay, underlining how Armleder has served as a role model for generations of younger contemporary artists: "In a time when the attempt to categorize as a means to understand as well as self-locate is prevalent in both life and art, John Armleder remains known for having no restrictions or fixed ways of working."Exhibition: Kanal-Centre Pompidou, Brussels, Belgium (04.04.-01.11.2020) / Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, China (Fall 2020).

Abstract

Mike Kelley (1954-2012) wrote about his work as well as on aesthetics in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, an epoch marked, in his view, by victim culture and the pop psychology phenomenon known as repressed memory syndrome. 'Mike Kelley : Materialist Aesthetics and Memory Illusions' presents the artist almost as an empirical philosopher delivering his position through art as well as writing. Laura López Paniagua presents Kelley's oeuvre as a stance in materialist aesthetics and weaves relations between the artist's critique, statements, and comments and the theories of thinkers such as Georges Bataille, Walter Benjamin, Pierre Bourdieu, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. López Paniagua focuses on Kelley's artistic production between 1995 and his death in 2012, analyzing these works vis-à-vis the concept of memory, one of the artist's obsessions and leitmotivs throughout his career.

Abstract

The catalogue allows a comprehensive insight into Daniel Spoerri's over 60 years spanning artistic practice, boasting numerous, partly first time reproductions of works and archival material. With his since the 1960s continuously developed snare pictures (Tableaux pièges) Spoerri inscribed himself into art history. Moreover, the book illustrates that the universal artist and ardent collector is versed in virtually all artistic media. This bilingual publication showcases Daniel Spoerri's work which is defined by refined humour, multilingualism, and inventiveness through texts and images. Das mit zahlreichen, teils erstmalig publizierten Werk- und Archivaufnahmen bebilderte Buch, das im Frühjahr 2021 anlässlich der Ausstellung 'Daniel Spoerri' im Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien erscheint, gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in die über 60 Jahre umfassende künstlerische Praxis Daniel Spoerris. Mit seinen seit 1960 stets weiterentwickelten Fallenbildern (Tableaux pièges) schrieb er sich dauerhaft in die Kunstgeschichte ein. Darüber hinaus zeigt das Buch auf, dass der Universalkünstler und begeisterte Sammler in nahezu allen künstlerischen Medien versiert ist. In Text und Bild wird das von feinsinnigem Humor, Vielsprachigkeit und Erfindungsreichtum geprägte Werk Daniel Spoerris in dieser zweisprachigen Publikation präsentiert. Texte von: Ingried Brugger, Hans Peter Hahn, Barbara Räderscheidt, Veronika Rudorfer, Daniel Spoerri, Katerina Vatsella. Exhibition: Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien, Austria (24.03. - 27.06.2021).

Abstract

"These influential essays by the noted critic and art historian Benjamin Buchloh have had a significant impact on the theory and practice of art history.

Abstract

Celebrating Marcel Duchamp's revolutionary contributions to modern art, this innovative exploration of the Stuttgart Duchamp Collection and the Archive of Serge Stauffer offers new insights into both artists' philosophies. As the inventor of the Readymade and a founder of conceptual art, Marcel Duchamp's work is still provoking important discussions about what defines art. Accompanying the first exhibition of the important Stuttgart Duchamp Collection, this book also presents the work of the Swiss artist and educator Serge Stauffer and his renowned research on Duchamp's art and writings. The series of 100 questions Stauffer wrote to the French artist in 1960 - and Duchamp's answers - provide important insights into Duchamp's intellectual and creative practice and bear witness to the depth of Stauffer's exceptional research. This book opens with an introduction to the relationship between Duchamp and Stauffer. It features brilliant reproductions of Duchamp's most renowned works, including Bottlerack, the painting study for Chocolate Grinder, No 2, and the window object La Bagarre d'Austerlitz. A biographical essay on both Duchamp and Stauffer provides important background to understanding the exceptional relationship between both artists.

Abstract

Quelques grands fous littéraires s'en mêlant (Brisset, Roussel, Jarry, et… Lacan), ce serait la grande leçon en Duchamp du signe : on ne fait pas d'enfant dans le dos de Duchamp, c'est lui qui vous en fait… après qu'il en eût fait plus d'un dans le dos de l'art, assigné au contemporain d'un champ qui sera du signe du sexe. Avec confusions en tout genre – et de tous les genres. On pourra dire que ce sont des jeux de mots à la con. Sauf qu'ils sont porteurs de ces (non-)œuvres qui, pour une part, doivent rester inacceptables comme art pour manifester un « écart » dont la théorie (antiscientifique, antiphilosophique, antipsychanalytique) se montre et se démontre pleinement intégrée à l'œuvre. Un dispositif opérationnel et spéculatif étourdit la « décision du sens » des mots autant qu'il défie les attraits d'une esthétique pour leur substituer la déterritorialisation la plus crue et la plus sophistiquée de la ritournelle readymade ou readymale de la sexuation. Nous nous sommes donc exposés dans cet essai en « charnière » qui marie une espèce de roman policier (le R. Mutt signant l'urinoir serait le pseudo en miroir de la déesse Mut d'un Freud américain) à une sorte de science-fiction (avec machines volantes et montres molles redressées par Lacan) faisant si bien « trou » dans le dicible du « champ freudien » que nous y avons trouvé matière à mutologie queer.Ce qui est, à tout prendre, conforme au « renvoi miroirique » de tous les signes empruntés à grande allure par Duchamp pour les soumettre aux Litanies du chariot en faisant machine désirante d'une Rrose Sélavy aux excentricités innombrables. C'est aussi que Duchamp pourrait bien être l'Autre de Lacan, même. Ou encore : « a Guest + a Host = a Ghost ».

Abstract

"American artist Jared Bark began putting up stacks of books in the fields and woods on his farm [in Warwick, NY] in 2012. All he had was an image in his mind's eye of a column of books standing at the edge of a field surrounded by trees. After working on the outdoor stacks, Jared Bark brought the project indoors to his studio, making all sorts of different stacks: colorful ones, burned ones, effaced one... More recently, Bark has been constructing vertical stacks of books that are then run through a sawmill to become acant, a term for a log that has been milled on all four sides. The slender verticality of the sculptures reference both the trees from which paper is made and the ancient freestanding columns Bark experienced in Pompeii. Book of Stacks, Stacks of Books gathers for the first time in a book a comprehensive selection of the stacks Bark has been making over the past decade."--publisher.
