Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. Softcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> This catalogue, and the exhibition it documents, brings together the work of two artists whose work shares many interesting parallels and equally some important differences. If the initial impetus for placing Pawel Althamer (bom in Warsaw in 1967) and Anatoly Osmolovsky (born in Moscow in 1969) in dialogue with one another would seem to be determined by biography and geography -both are of the generation shaped by the collapse of Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the subsequent shift from Communism to post-communism-the resulting exhibition raised a more interesting set of questions around their practice and the relationship between more political, collaborative and diffuse modes of art and the making of objects, broadly defined as sculpture. If both artists are born only two years apart, their careers follow similar trajectories and navigate some of the same ideological and ethical terrain, Over his roughly twenty year career, Polish artist Pawel Allhamer has constructed a sin.

Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Parrallel Converges brings together for the first time the work of two artists—one Polish and the other Russian—who both belong to the generation that received its training during the decisive transition from the communist to the post-communist period in Russia and Eastern Europe in the early nineties, and whose work has developed along many interesting parallel lines. 
Notwithstanting the different forms and media adopted—ranging from sculpture, installation and video to more politically engaged actions—the work of both artists often turns around the idea of the body and its modes of perception.
