Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. The centerpiece of the exhibition Figure in the Garden was Katharina Fritsch s Figurengruppe (Group of Figures, 2006 08). On view in the Museum of Modern Art's Sculpture Garden from 2011 to 2013, Figure in the Garden also included works by Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso, and Alberto Giacometti, among others. But Fritsch s polychromic ensemble, the show s only work from the twenty-first century, made a bold statement about the present and future of figurative sculpture. The catalogue includes generous illustrations, including many photographs taken by Fritsch herself. Robert Fleck's essay examines the works and traces the history of the museum s Sculpture Garden, which, on its opening in 1939, was the world s first outdoor space for exhibiting modern sculpture. And a conversation between Fleck, Fritsch, artist Tom Otterness, and MoMA curator Ann Temkin, who curated the exhibition, explores issues around sculptural display while revealing how the exhibition came together.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Since the mid-1960s when he started out as a fledgling critic, Dan Graham has carved out a unique role for himself, expanding the scope of the Conceptual artist to incorporate art criticism, music criticism, photography and architecture. For this volume, curator Hans Ulrich Obrist met with Graham on several occasions to discuss the artist's work, life and the numerous interests he passionately follows. The conversation thus wanders seamlessly from architecture to rock and roll, philosophy to astrology, Graham's early performance pieces, photography and articles, to the films and glass pavilions for which he is best known today. A fountain of art folklore, Graham offers recollections of friends and colleagues, art work and influences, providing an invaluable insight not only into the New York art scene of the 60s and 70s, but also one of its most influential representatives.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Published with Afterall Books. The radical project an Exhibit (mounted in 1957 at Hatton Gallery, Newcastle, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London) emerged from a decade of testing the formats and possibilities of exhibition making, resulting in a show with the motto "No objects, no ideas." A collaboration between two artists, Richard Hamilton and Victor Pasmore, and a critic and curator, Lawrence Alloway, the show was simultaneously an investigation into abstract environmental forms and a participatory experiment that would fundamentally transform the role of the viewer. In this volume, comprehensive documentation of the original exhibition is presented alongside coverage of other key projects from the era and contextualized in a detailed essay by Elena Crippa. Archival texts conveying the different voices of the project's three creators, and a contemporaneous essay by David Sylvester, are accompanied by new contributions from Martin Beck, Owen Hatherley and Lucy Steeds.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Published with UCCA. In Strip, snapshot photos of Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame reel and collide, resulting in random but systematic juxtapositions of street performers and gawking tourists. As the reader turns the pages of Kathryn Andrews' (born 1973) first artist book, rows of images-much like film strips-become visible, shifting left and right within the picture window of the book page. Ultimately this three-dimensional, layered world is lost as a new image of a fragmented Hollywood emerges from the book's chance encounters. Following in the great artist book tradition of John Baldessari and Edward Ruscha, the UCCA has called on Kathryn Andrews along with LA artists Aaron Curry, Alex Israel, Matthew Monahan, Sterling Ruby, Ryan Trecartin, and Kaari Upson to make individual artist books for The Los Angeles Project in Beijing.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Leading theorists from Silvia Federici to Eva Illouz address the pandemic's intensification of neoliberal alienationThe success of "social distancing" as a strategy against the COVID-19 pandemic resonates acutely with neoliberalism's destruction of the very notion of society itself. This was most famously expressed by Margaret Thatcher's dictum "there is no society," which supplies the title of this anthology--with a question mark added. How can we deal with the paradoxical mix of solitude and common experience that the pandemic entails? How can culture and critical discourse even continue when public space has been shut down upon the advice of epidemiologists? Such are the questions tackled by the authors of this anthology--some of today's leading theorists of capitalist affect and experience.Contributors include: Fahim Amir, Franco "Bifo" Berardi, Nika Dubrovsky, Silvia Federici, Srecko Horvat, Eva Illouz, Achille Mbembe & Milo Rau, Robert Pfaller, Renata Salecl, Natascha Strobl and Ece Temelkuran.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Critical reflections on the global reach of the groundbreaking 1970s collective by its founders and progeny, including Cecilia Vicuna and David MedallaThis volume takes Artists for Democracy (AFD) as a starting point to explore the entanglement of artistic practices with transnational solidarities shaped by migration and political mobilization. AFD formed in London in 1974 to give "material and cultural support to liberation movements worldwide" and to use art as "a way of making global political struggles visible." Over the next three years, the collective arranged several large-scale festivals dedicated to the relief of political crises in Chile, Vietnam, Indochina and the United States. Through detailed contextualization, scholastic and artistic commissions and extensive archival documentation, Precarious Solidarities applies a variety of lenses--artistic, social, political, historical and geographic--to explore AFD's legacy today. The book includes writings by some of AFD's original founders including Cecilia Vicuna, Guy Brett and David Medalla, as well as by landmark artists such as Rasheed Araeen.
