Riassunto

From the author of The Metabolic Museum, a new volume on the risks associated with a career in art, from individual pieces to historic museum collections

Building upon the acclaimed fieldwork diary The Metabolic Museum, Clémentine Deliss expands on how artists understand risk and contention both in their work and with regard to historical collections. Skin in the Game is a series of compelling conversations with Ruth Buchanan, Otobong Nkanga, Collier Schorr, Joëlle Tuerlinckx and Andrea Zittel. These five women are the subject of the eponymous exhibition at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin. Their conversations raise questions about how to work through institutional collections through the concept of the “prototype” creating a multiplicity of nonexclusive interpretations. They also discuss that moment of having “skin in the game,” when each of them decided to become an artist, and what the “prototype” was that defined their career trajectory.
Clémentine Deliss (born 1960) is a London-based curator, researcher and author. In 2020 she was named an associate curator at the KW Institute of Contemporary Art in Berlin.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Skin in the Game follows on from the acclaimed fieldwork
diary, The Metabolic Museum. In this new book,
Clémentine Deliss expands on how artists understand risk
and contention both in their work and with regard to historical
collections. Through a series of compelling conversations,
questions are raised on how to work on colonial
collections through the concept of the "prototype" as generative
of a multiplicity of non-exclusive interpretations. The
book includes interviews with leading women artists spanning
two generations-Ruth Buchanan, Otobong Nkanga,
Collier Schorr, Joëlle Tuerlinckx, and Andrea Zittel-in
which they discuss that moment of "skin in the game,"
when each of them took the decision to become an artist,
to enter the Hades of an uncertain existence and the
Heaven of aesthetic experiment. What was the prototype
that defined their career and their life's trajectory, that like
a revenant returns over the course of an artist's lifetime?CLÉMENTINE DELISS (*1960, London) is an independent curator whose practice crosses the borders of contemporary art, critical anthropology and curatorial experimentation.
