Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Nathlie Provosty (b. Cincinnati, OH 1981; lives and works in Brooklyn, NY) has recently gained critical acclaim for subtle, highly sensual, abstract oil paintings that oscillate in appearance between word forms, possible body fragments, and moving images. The artist's frequent use of dark colors stems from an interest in the peripheral territories of visual perception. Taking this source one step further, she describes the paintings as emitting "inaudible sound"--sound that we can feel though not hear. Visible color occupies just a small region of the entire electromagnetic spectrum, within which simultaneous but invisible vibrations are always present. Similarly, only close attention to the paintings and the movement of light and space within and around them can render their noiseless sound palpable. The New York Times critic Roberta Smith has written that the artist "effectively complicates the perceptual mysteries of Ad Reinhardt's Black Paintings with her own sense of scale, atmosphere and material punch. This is no mean feat." Provosty's first monograph includes a personal essay by the writer Jarrett Earnest and a substantial showcase of works dating from 2012-2015. Nathlie Provosty (b.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Christo and Jeanne-Claude (b. Gabrovo, Bulgaria, 1935 /b. Casablanca, 1935, d. New York, 2009) were one of the most popular artist couples of our time. More than virtually any other team of partners in life and art, they succeeded in breaking out of the parochial art world and enchanting wide public audiences with their spectacular wrapping actions. They enveloped not just objects but entire buildings, islands, and landscapes. Among their best-known works are The Iron Curtain, Rue Visconti, Paris, 1962; Running Fence, California, 1976; The Pont Neuf Wrapped, Paris, 1985; Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin,1995; and, most recently, The Floating Piers, Lake Iseo, Italy, 2016. Since Jeanne-Claude's death, Christo has continued to pursue the realization of projects he planned together with her. The photographer Wolfgang Volz (b. Tuttlingen, 1948) has worked with the two artists since 1971, creating exclusive documentations of their monumental projects. It is through his lens that they see their finished works; his photographs mark the true completion of a creative process that begins with the first plans--it often takes years to make the extravagant works a reality. The book presents a survey of all major projects Christoand Jeanne-Claude undertook in five decades of artistic collaboration and includes numerous drawings in color by Christo and gorgeous photographs by Volz. With essays by Matthias Koddenberg and Bettina Ruhrberg. Christo and Jeanne-Claude were one of the most popular artist couples of our time.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Although Chen Qiulin (b. Yichang City, 1975; lives and works in Sichuan Province, China) primarily works with moving images, she also creates performances, photographs, and installations. She is especially interested in the reality of "ordinary" people in today's China. Her work investigates collective memories, social injustices, and rapid development and the changes it brings, but also seeks to capture a touch of nostalgia, irritation, and hope. "Peppermint" is about a very particular recollection. A phone call and a photograph of her old martial arts team transport Chen back to the summer of 1983. The artist probes her personal history to appeal to our elementary human experiences and raise existential questions about how we became who we are. Explorations of her own past, her works are thus also studies on the power of memories to shape our lives and the passing of time. With essays by Chen Qiulin, Christian Ganzenberg, Sunny Sun, and Yan Ge. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Questions of BelongingTarik Kiswanson's (b. Sweden, 1986; lives and works in Paris, France, and Amman, Jordan) creative practice spans sculpture, writing, film, and performance. Harnessing a range of techniques of--metaphorical as well as literal--weaving, the artist creates forms that lend visual expression to Edouard Glissant's idea of a "poetics of multiplicity." Combining abstract sculptures executed in polished steel and brass with performances, Kiswanson initiates a dialogue on issues around the politics of identity and migration. Preadolescents are often the main protagonists in his performances and films, which probe the interplay between coming of age and the development of one's identity through migration. His work has been presented at Centre Pompidou, the Performa Biennial, Lafayette Anticipation, the Gwangju Biennial and Fondation d'entreprise Ricard amongst other. Kiswanson's first solo museum show in France will take place at Carre d'Art--Musee d'art contemporain. The show will feature both early and new works. The accompanying monographic catalog is the first to present a comprehensive survey of the artist's multifaceted practice. With an introduction by director and curator Jean Marc Prevost and essays by Annie Godfrey Larmont, Ingrid Luquet-Gad and Xiaoyu Weng. Tarik Kiswansons (b.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A collection of remarkable paintings created mostly without paint. Since the mid1990s, Sergej Jensen (b. in Copenhagen in 1971) has been offering one of the most remarkable responses to the question of what painting can still be today. Painting in the classical sense plays only a minor role: in lieu of canvas, Jensen uses jute, coarse cotton, and jeans. He incorporates spots on fabrics, which turn the expressive gesture of his paintings into a sign of wear from real life. Jensen sews fabrics together, leaving the seams visible to evoke the fleeting impression of a drawing and he colors others with gouache, acrylics, and markers, but Jensen more often applies materials foreign to painting, such as patches, paper money, spices, beads, and glitter. Hanging his fabrics from windows, Jensen lets the sun and rain contribute a patina and treats them with chlorine and paints mixed with bleach to reduce their brilliance. A collection of remarkable paintings created mostly without paint. Since the mid-1990s, Sergej Jensen (b. in Copenhagen in 1971) has been offering one of the most remarkable responses to the question of what painting can still be today.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A Minimalist sculpture becomes a greenhouse. The High Line is a 1.45-mile stretch of disused elevated freight tracks on Manhattan's West Side that was converted into a park between 2006 and 2014. In 2015, the American artist Rashid Johnson (b. Chicago, Ill., 1977; lives and works in New York, N.Y.) installed a publicly accessible sculpture on the tracks. Commissioned by the High Line Art program, it consisted of a shelf-like black metal construction that housed a number of bright yellow busts. Blocks presents comprehensive photographic documentation of the eponymous work's evolving interaction with the lush vegetation into which it intervened. Over the course of the full year for which the sculpture stood on the site, plants of different species grew through its grid structure, lending it a forever changing aspect as the seasons passed. The pictures illustrate the poetic quality of the time-limited relationship between a man-made construction and nature, touching on themes such as optimism, failure, regeneration, and desolation. A conversation between Cecilia Alemani, chief curator of High Line Art, and Rashid Johnson sheds light on the genesis of Blocks and the artist's approach to making work for public settings.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Getting your disco act together." "Guy Hocquenghem visited New York and stayed with me in my loft on Chambers Street, and one night while I was out, he read what I'd written. When I returned later, he said to me that such straightforward description of gay culture was just the sort of thing that gay activists should be writing." -- Douglas Crimp Douglas Crimp (b. Coeur d'Alene, USA, 1944; d. 2019) was one of the most influential art critics, curators, and AIDS activists of his time. His writings on representation and critique remain uncontested milestones in the debate over AIDS and queer aesthetics. The seminal essay Disss-co (A Fragment) reads as a primer to his pioneering studies of queer subcultures and New York's underground scene. In light of today's renewed repression of subcultural-- sexual and ethnic--communities, the text has lost none of its relevance. The art works of Henrik Olesen (b. 1967) often focus on sexual politics. In this publication he shows excerpts from the project Lack of Information, 2001. Arranged as a grid, the work presents a map of different laws worldwide that are directed against gays, lesbians and transsexuals. Among other topics, the work examines anti-gay and sodomy laws, migration and adoption rights, and statistics on hate crimes. It also contains information on the frequency Disss-co (A Fragment) of same-sex behavior among animal species.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. "Against a rigid and authoritarian art. "Dies alles, Herzchen, wird einmal dir gehoeren"--"All these, little darling, will one day be yours"--was the motto of a legendary event held in Frankfurt in 1967: Charlotte Posenenske (1930-1985) had her corrugatedcardboard square tubing arranged in perpetually changing structures. In memory of the internationally renowned conceptual artist, a similar performance was staged at Kunsthalle Lingen, Germany, on November 20, 2010. As the opening act, the Frankfurtbased artist Michael Reiter (b. Munich, 1952) presented his performance "Swinging Geometry" a protagonist moves three squares made of slender black carbon tubes that are connected to each other by a nylon thread and suspended from numerous nails scattered across the wall, creating forever new shapes. Reiter's deceptively simple work addresses several aspects that have been, and still are, crucial to art: the variable work of art was an invention of the 1960s, created by artists who attacked what they felt was the authoritarian closure and rigor of the work. Art, like society and the individual itself, was supposed to be open to change through the active participation of the audience, who would thus contribute to the creative process. This "changeability" of art is a concern that unites the two artists whose diverse performances the present book documents. With essays by Meike Behm, director, Kunsthalle Lingen, and Burkhard Brunn, director, Estate of Charlotte Posenenske." The work of Charlotte Posenenske and Michael Reite are united by the shared notion that art, like society and the individual itself, is supposed to be open to change through the active participation of the audience, who thus contribute to the creative process. This book focuses on the idea of -changeability- in art represented by the diverse performances of Posenenske and Reite.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Apocalyptic Landscapes and Constructivist Architectural Fantasies. Hubert Scheibl (b. Gmunden, Austria, 1952; lives and works in Vienna) is a leading representative of abstract painting in Austria. Color and large formats are the defining characteristics of his oeuvre. In his vision of abstract art and nature, the interlocking of contingency and control or a focus on color and gesture, he creates works that trigger a synthesis of apocalyptic and hypnotic calm in his beholders. Drawing on film history understood as a collective memory, Scheibl quotes from American movies, including by the Coen brothers and the Wachowskis, in the titles of his works, displaying a sense of subtle irony and humor that counterbalances the gloom that has settled over his landscapes and opens up a space for the sublime in his painting. The catalog accompanying the exhibition features painting series from the past decade as well as Scheibl's sculptures, which have received comparatively little public attention. With essays by Brigitte Hausmann and Tayfun Belgin. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The 10th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art invites the public to engage the artists and other contributors in an open exchange of ideas. "I want to rethink the configuration of power and knowledge," curator Gabi Ngcobo says. Framing a perspective from Europe, Germany, and Berlin as a city in dialogue with the world, the 10th Berlin Biennale examines the persistent fears and concerns of our time. Referencing Tina Turner's 1985 song We Don't Need Another Hero, it revisits a period immediately preceding major geopolitical shifts that went hand in hand with regime changes and the emergence of new historical protagonists. The 10th Berlin Biennale does not propose to offer a coherent interpretation of history (or histories) or the present, but it explores the political potential of strategies of selfpreservation. The catalog accompanying includes extensive materials on participating artists.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This book, Burkhard Brunn's commentary on the manifesto Charlotte Posenenske wrote in 1968, will help build a deeper understanding of her art. It goes hand in hand with Renate Wiehager's "Charlotte Posenenske," which devotes particular attention to the artist's objects, and the volume "Charlotte PosenenskeDie fruhen Jahre," which includes an essay by Philipp Kaiser about the minimalist conceptual artist's paintings. The three volumes lay the foundation for further reflections by experts; Daniel Marzona, Jorg Daur, Astrid Wege, and Stefanie Brauer have contributed essays to this book. Brunn's own expertise derives from his collaboration with the artist and the many posthumous exhibitions he organized as the trustee of her estate.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The Luxembourgian painter and sculptor Michel Majerus (1967-2002) was best known for paintings and installations in large formats for which he combined motifs from the history of art with the symbolism of mass culture. After graduating from the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart, he moved to Berlin, where, with the exception of a oneyear residence in Los Angeles in 2001, he lived and worked until his early death. In its expert "sampling" of images and words from diverse contexts in everyday life, Majerus's art shows the influence of Pop art. His work features characters from popular computer games such as Super Mario, a portrait of the rock star Marilyn Manson, defamiliarized logos of major corporations, but also expressive brushstrokes that recall the painting of Willem de Kooning. On April 24, 1998, Majerus created a series of eighty drawings in sepia ink on paper. Choosing a technique that is rare in his oeuvre, he staged the recourse to a classic medium as a quotation to be handled with ironic detachment. The works on paper--the complete set of original drawings--act as an encyclopedic index of the visual vocabulary that is characteristic of Michel Majerus's entire oeuvre. In this book, the previously unpublished Printer's Proof series is accompanied by extensive essays by Christian Rattemeyer and Lucien Kayser.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. "German artist Martin Kippenberger died in 1997 (b. Dortmund 1953). His work has been internationally celebrated since his death and now occupies a solid place in the most important art collections and museums in the world. Now as then, the question as to the value of his work triggers lively debate: praised as the Beuys of the 1980s, the German Warhol or Picabia's successor, he is equally well known as a dilettante and genius, enfant terrible and provocateur, relentless networker and visionary. Largely ignored by the art market for decades, he strove for recognition, which he initially received from only a small circle. For Kippenberger, who was merciless in his criticism, there was no joke too personal or too close to the bone, no provocation too injurious in testing how far he could go, not only with his opponent, but also with himself. The professional selfpublicist understood like no other before him in Germany how to make a show out of his art and his life, always doing so in a way that simultaneously pushed back the boundaries of art itself. Once the ball was rolling, it was not allowed to stop. Kippenberger spared neither himself nor others and his short but intense life and extremely diverse corpus of work are a testament of this. The interview book ""Kippenberger & Friends"" comes closer to uncovering Kippenberger the myth, through 25 conversations with artists, curators, gallerists, and friends. And it is predominantly the latter who give us their view on someone who left a lasting impression on them, in descriptions that are contemplative, funny, critical, and also selfironic. The extremely personal memories bring to life not only Kippenberger himself; they also create a dense picture of the cultural life in a Germany which, torn between the sensationalist Springer press and student revolts, the hedonistic consumer culture of yuppies and the provocative rebellion of the punk scene, still had to become convinced of the maxims of its own actions. Josephine von Perfall started her doctorate degree on Martin Kippenberger in 2010 at the Department of History of Art at the University of Cambridge. The role he played in the development of postwar German art, in particular in his capacity as a "networker," cannot, von Perfall asserts, be overestimated, and it is this role that is the key to understanding one of the most important chapters in German postwar art."

Taking inspiration from elements of early- twentieth-century architecture, design, and art, he captures the aura of modernism, though without disregarding the contemporary world, as his references to poetry, nature, film noir, and post-punk music suggest. In 2011, Boyce's oeuvre earned him the renowned Turner Prize. "Hanging Gardens" presents a fragmented landscape designed by Boyce into which he integrated more than thirty works dating from between 2004 and 2018. The beholder contemplating the scenery might almost be looking at the last traces of human existence and the relics of an imaginary utopia that has outgrown the objectives of its creator. With essays by Matthew Dickman, Geoff Dyer, and Christian Ganzenberg Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Gregor Schneider (b. Rheydt, Germany, 1969; lives in Rheydt) is an influential and controversial artist whose work critics like to misunderstand. Disavowing the art object, he thinks by constructing spaces. In the mid1980s, he sought to pinpoint the "idle state of action." He altered spaces by inserting duplicates, demolishing an economic way of thinking. Over the past fifteen years, he has gradually moved toward the field of politics and the public sphere. Schneider's works cross Germany's more recent history with the nonplaces of personal existence; he stages encounters between cultural moments that are alien to one another--for example, he wanted to build a black cube in the dimensions of the Kaaba outside St. Mark's Basilica in Venice (the plan was nixed by the censors). The catalogue aims to present his art as a cohesive whole spanning three decades. More than three hundred illustrations shed light on its stations; extensive annotations by Gregor Schneider himself and the editor and curator Ulrich Loock mark interconnections as well as contradictions within the oeuvre. The book touches on works Schneider created when he was thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years old ("Adolescent Discontent", 1980s) as well as the insertion of spaces into a new venue ("Dead House u r", 2001) or the grinding to dust of Joseph Goebbels's birthplace ("The Spirit of the Nazi Era", 2015). It offers the firstever structured overview of Schneider's oeuvre in its entirety. Gregor Schneider (b.
