Riassunto

In a time of unfettered waste, global artists contend with excess and its effects

Accompanying the major exhibition at MoMA PS1, The Gatherers brings together original texts on issues relating to waste, accumulation and excess. In a time when social and political lives are shaped by the glut of garbage and information, the exhibition draws methodological parallels between 14 artists across four continents. This compendium features full-color illustrations of their artworks, which span sculptural installation, assemblage, painting, video and performance. In a longform essay, Ruba Katrib contextualizes their practices within the promises and failures of neoliberalism, the shifting constructions of East and West and the explosion of new technologies. Additionally, the catalog situates their practices within larger art historical trends, from Greek asàrotos òikos and Dutch still lifes, to 20th-century Surrealism and postwar assemblage. With newly commissioned texts on each of the participating artists by leading curators, theorists and writers from across the globe, the catalog offers incisive critical writing on issues in contemporary art and the 21st century.
Artists include: Karimah Ashadu, Tolia Astakhishvili, Miho Dohi, Andro Eradze, He Xiangyu, Samuel Hindolo, Geumhyung Jeong, Klara Liden, Jean Katambayi Mukendi, Nick Relph, Selma Selman, Ser Serpas, Emilija Škarnulyte.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

An international all-star lineup of artists investigate everyday objects in art.

This MoMA PS1 exhibition catalog brings together original texts on issues relating to ruination and the built environment, charting how the incorporation of everyday objects into artworks has taken on new significance in a time in which material surplus and oversaturation goes hand in hand with destruction and decay. The basis for these writings can be found in the sculptures, paintings, videos and other mediums by 13 featured artists. Hailing from a variety of backgrounds and countries including Nigeria, Japan, Georgia, South Korea, Sweden, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the United States, they each create work with found materials or commercial objects with seemingly little aesthetic value. With an introduction by curator Ruba Katrib and newly commissioned essays on each artist by over a dozen authors, the publication delves into the practices of the participating artists and offers incisive critical writing on issues in contemporary art and the everyday.

Artists include: Karimah Ashadu, Tolia Astakhishvili, Miho Dohi, Andro Eradze, Samuel Hindolo, Geumhyung Jeong, Klara Lidén, Jean Katambayi Mukendi, Nick Relph, Selma Selman, Ser Serpas, Emilija Škarnulyte, He Xiangyu.
