Abstract

Which way do I go? We consciously and unconsciously travel numerous distances every day--not only shorter and longer distances, but inner ones as well. Both the works and the staging by the Danish artist Jeppe Hein (born 1974) at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg address this theme. In a labyrinth of spaces, paths, intersections, and squares, visitors not only encounter the minimalistally, kinetically, and socially oriented works by Hein but are also surprised by new and site-specific works. After his burnout in December 2009, he expanded his spectrum of material: sound, resonance, silence, scents, or breath characterize his new works and reflect his examination of Eastern philosophies and practices such as Buddhism, yoga, and meditation. The catalogue is also as personal as his watercolor journal in the exhibition. Jeppe Hein becomes palpable as both an artist and a person in a very open conversation with the curator Uta Ruhkamp as well as in essays by Finn Janning and Peter Høeg.

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."
