Isa Melsheimer: Dt./ Engl.: (E/ G) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

A whole world. If Isa Melsheimer isn't actually illuminating tiny cardboard and plywood residences or sticking them onto the steep dark internal walls of cone-shaped bowls, she is perhaps embroidering at that very moment coarsely patterned mattresses reminiscent of the grandparental marital bed, or brightly coloured, flag-like wall hangings.\nIt may seem as though the 37 year old former pupil of Baselitz and current Artist in residence at the Chianti Foundation in Marfa has taken up permanent residence at ?Minatures R Us!?. Occasionally her work has been compared to Rosemarie Trockel's or interpreted as postfeminist sculpture, meaning that although installational, it actually also refers to the interstices caught between the separated objects in space. In this way a perspective on human society develops through the emphasis upon transitory elements of architecture, design and urbanity.\nDesigned in a narrative sequence, this volume presents an overview of the embroideries, gouaches, models and objects for the first time.
