Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A reexamination of the Westkunst exhibition archives. In 1981, the Cologne trade-fair center hosted a large exhibition titled Westkunst: Zeitgenoessische Kunst seit 1939 (Western Art: Contemporary Art since 1939). Organized by art critic Laszlo Glozer and curator Kasper Koenig, the Western-centric survey highlighted avant-garde art and politically charged themes of freedom and individual expression. By examining Westkunst's historiographical stakes in light of the Iron Curtain division of Europe, the show is revealed as paradigmatic of the ways in which hegemonic concepts of Western art and the accompanying processes of othering were fashioned in the art world. In this collective volume, Westkunst's universalizing claims are scrutinized by focusing on the artistic tendencies exhibited; on exhibitionary discourses and practices of decontextualization, comparison, and appropriation; on the alleged realization of the values of progress, freedom, and autonomy; on the enacted conceptions of temporality and the architectural devices of narrativization; and on the exhibition's blind spots and exclusions and the critical reactions it elicited. This analytic output makes fresh use of the archival materials, which are neither centralized nor systematized, with significant excerpts republished throughout the book. Seen through the lens of exhibition history, this revisiting of Westkunst sheds light on a broader trend of cultural conservatism that was gaining strength in the 1980s, just before the end of the Cold War and the start of new forms of globalization.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Lange Zeit wurde Materie nur als passives, lebloses Objekt betrachtet. Zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts hat in der bildenden Kunst und in der Wissenschaft jedoch eine Neubewertung eingesetzt, die Materie als aktiv, widerspenstig und eigenständig versteht. Der Ethnologe Hans Peter Hahn spricht 'vom Eigensinn der Dinge', die belgische Philosophin Isabelle Stengers sogar von der 'Power of Wonder' - der Kraft des Staunens und der Überraschung angesichts einer materiellen Welt, die sich nicht immer in Worte fassen lässt. Diese Publikation zeigt erstmals anhand von sechs ausgewählten künstlerischen Positionen die Bedeutung des Neuen Materialismus für die Kunst der Gegenwart auf. Die Künstler:innen nutzen Jahrmillionen alte Materie, wie die Gesteine aus dem umliegenden Tagebau, genauso wie klassische, anorganische Werkstoffe wie Keramik oder neueste Materialien wie digitale Produkte, die in hochtechnologischen Verfahren zu bisher unbekannten hybriden Gegenständen transformiert werden. Damit verleihen sie der Kunst in den aktuellen Diskussionen um die Stellung des Menschen gegenüber seiner Umwelt, um Nachhaltigkeit, Teilhabe und Gerechtigkeit eine kraftvolle Stimme.Mit Arbeiten von Ilana Halperin, Agata Ingarden, David Jablonowski, Markus Karstieß, Robert Smithson und SUPERFLEX. 176 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The Power of Wonder - New Materialisms in Contemporary Art_x000D__x000D_For the longest time, physical matter was seen as no more than a passive and lifeless object. Since the early years of the twenty-first century, however, visual artists and scientists alike have initiated a change of thinking, conceiving matter as active, unruly, and autonomous. The ethnologist Hans Peter Hahn has called it the "willfulness of things", while the Belgian philosopher Isabelle Stengers has underscored the "power of wonder" - the bracing sense of marvel and surprise instilled by a material world that sometimes defies the attempt to put it into words._x000D__x000D_This pioneering publication features six selected artistic positions that highlight the New Materialism's significance for contemporary art. The artists employ materials that are millions of years old such as rocks from an open-pit mine as well as classic inorganic staples like ceramics and cutting-edge materials like digital products transformed in high-tech procedures into hitherto unseen hybrid objects. Their work lends art a powerful voice in contemporary debates around man's position vis-à-vis his environment, around sustainability, participation, and justice.…
