Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 21,5 x 29,1 cm, hardcover, cloth binding, 92 Seiten/pages, 150 color & 37 b/w illustrations - The art of de(con)struction. American artists Cory Arcangel, Jessica Ciocci & Jacob Ciocci/Paper Rad, Shana Moulton, and Ryan Trecartin & Lizzie Fitch, have been brought together in this publication. In their works the artists create an overwhelming, color-charged aesthetic with an excessive density of content, reacting to the consumer-oriented condition of Western society. In their image-spaces the four collaborations address a culture of excess, constructing their critique via a form of appropriation, which simultaneously releases a veritable deluge of images. In the tradition of experimental film and Scatter art they probe potential unconventional narrative patterns and test for the disintegration of stereotypes. As a result, the video works are often shown in sculptural settings, in which fragments of pop culture and handcrafted forms are amalgamated into an multimedia Gesamtkunstwerk.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 17,5 x 23,5 cm, hardcover, 148 pages, 51 color & 30 b/w illustrations - In his wide-ranging cycles of works, each of which is devoted to a unifying thematic narrative, the Swiss artist Florian Germann (born 1978, lives and works in Zurich) creates complex systems of reference, playing with the role of the artist-researcher. As points of departure for these individual experimental arrangements, Germann uses characters from history such as Napoleon, or motifs from myth and fantasy such as lycanthropy (from the Greek lukos, "wolf," and anthropos, "man": the werewolf), which he subjects to a revisionary rewriting, interweaving factual and fictional aspects.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. 21,5 x 29,1 cm (hardcover) 96 pages (34 color & 13 b/w ill.) - The publication concentrates on a new series of works. Hence in the installation "Ten High" (2007) numerous silver shop display dummies converge on a mirror smooth platform holding in their hands objects such as signs, bearing anti-war slogans like "No War in Iran" or the notorious recession signal "Going Out of Business/Sale," a whisky bottle or a bible and other classical American "icons." Meckseper's object arrangements recall the window displays of department stores and expensive boutiques, re-contextualising the exhibited objects: the shibboleths are ascribed a new significance from now on a consumerist lifestyle posture.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 14,5 x 23,5, 352 pages, 19 color & 69 b/w illustrations - This publication is based on two exhibitions held at the Migros Museum in Zurich, both of which were dedicated, in different ways, to exploring the possibilities of documenting time-based works. It aims to outline the theories that underpin these issues in discussing the various ways in which disciplines that are fixed in time, such as sculpture and installation, or technologically reproducible media, such as film and photography, relate to time-based fields of art that are performative in character, such as dance, performance and sound, in diverse combinations. The focus is on the areas created by these overlaps, and the art that is produced as a result. While Raphael Gygax posits the notion that performances, their installation venues, and the objects involved may be read as rituals, places of ritual and relics, respectively, Heike Munder considers how the body itself can serve as a potential archive of history, and how processes of movementaccording to a re-activated modernist formal syntaxcan be inscribed into a collective corporeal memory. Verena Kuni explores temporality and transience in art in connection with sound and music, and their transformation. Philip Auslander presents his long-held theory that the material documenting performances can in itself be characterized as performative in character. Based on her own artistic practice as a documenter of the Judson Dance Theater, among others, Babette Mangolte examines the relationship between movement and speed in the filming of performative processes. Kristina Köhler also examines the filmic strategies of the performative, and how these strategies oscillate between performance, event, and representation. …

Softcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 17 x 24 cm, 178 pages with numerous colour illustrations. - An artist, film-maker and documentarist, Mika Taanila (born 1965, lives and works in Helsinki) integrates and goes beyond the various planes of contemporary art. His films, video clips and installations are built according to the principles of connection, interaction and collaboration. Between sound and image, between the latest electronic culture and technological aspirations of the 1960s, between documentary film and advanced experiment, between fiction and reality, Taanila is working out a novel and protean approach to our representations of modernity and progress through his futuristic techno-utopias.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 18 x 23,5 cm, Hardcover, 282 Seiten/pages, 173 color & 45 b/w illustrations - The installations of American artist Stephen G. Rhodes (born 1977 in Houston, lives and works in New Orleans and Berlin), which are distinguished by the combination of diverse media, are based on selected references from a wide range of historical and cultural sources, including the American past and the histories of art and film, which he fuses into a new and dense semantic system. In the cycle of works Rhodes presented in 2009 under the title "Dar Allers war ne'er eny Bear Bear" at Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi Gallery, for example, he linked Walt Disney's "Song of the South" (1946), a movie adaptation of Joel Chandler Harris's "Uncle Remus" stories, which are in turn based on the oral histories of the slaves on the plantations of the American South, to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" (1980). Building such connections allows him to take up the repressed depths of the American past and place them in new contexts.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 17 x 23 cm, 256 Seiten/pages - This publication on the French-Bosnian artist Maja Bajevic accompanies her comprehensive exhibition at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst and focuses on her most recent bodies of works. Since the mid-1990s she has explored a wide variety of issues related to globalization and migration, inclusion and exclusion, exploitation, neoliberalism, and the interactions between these notions. Bajevic also consistently investigates her own identity, and the meaning of "home" and what this constitutes. Her oeuvre is part of a tradition in art that deals with social and educational issues, and that wants to shake up the prevailing social consciousness. In this respect, Bajevic's approach is all-encompassing; for example, when she compiles an archive of political slogans, she focuses on the entire political spectrum. By bringing together the core of Bajevic's oeuvre with specially commissioned essays by art historians and curators, this publication reflects on her main artistic strategies and themes, standing as a reference monograph covering the last ten years of her work. The book is divided into three chapters: "Power," "Governance," and "Labor," and includes essays by Barbara Biedermann, Manuel Borja-Villel, Boris Buden, Raphael Gygax, and Ana Janevski.…

Softcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 24 x 29 cm, 152 Seiten/pages, 108 farbige Abbildungen/ colour illustrations - In her sculptures, which often incorporate photographic elements and objects, Rachel Harrison (*1966, in New York) thematizes the complexity of art in a humorous manner, playing with the observer's appetite for decoding meanings. If she makes connections with the current discourses on sculpture and installation, her works remain difficult to characterize. Her unfailingly virtuoso sculptures are often constructed in colorfully painted organic-amorphous forms, serving as mounts for readymades whether lifestyle magazines, Calvin Klein underwear packaging, or found photographs appearing both finished and unfinished, thus extremely fragile and ephemeral. The unexpected mix of materials links kitsch and formalism with a cynical wink of the eye. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 21,5 x 29 cm, Hardcover, 112 Seiten/pages, 40 color illustrations - Art has always been the sensorium of the all that is fragile, brittle, and porous in the human. In this book, based on an eponymous exhibition, however, human break lines are not treated directly in terms of the human body, but instead through the surrogate of architecture. For at the fractures and interfaces of buildings, the cracks and fissures of human existence are registered analogously. The notion in the title, Displaced Fractures, is taken from the medical world. It describes how bone fracture sites reveal themselves elsewhere than at the major stress site. The publication discusses installations, spatial interventions, and sculptures working with the displacement of symptoms. What predominates is the field of tension between the refusal of form and monumental creations, between subjective and formal rational gestures.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 14,5 x 23,5 cm, Hardcover, 220 pages, 50 color & 50 b/w illustrations - This publication investigates the interplay between dance and the visual arts in relation to one of the key works of the 20th century, "Le Sacre du printemps" (The Rite of Spring). Igor Stravinsky's "Le Sacre" was premiered in 1913 by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, with choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris, and to this day it is considered the most controversial theatrical presentation of the 20th century. With its revolutionary music and choreography, the piece can be seen as one of modernism's groundbreaking moments. The ballet (in which a virgin sacrifices herself for the god of spring and dances herself to death) still fascinates visual artists today and is the most choreographed ballet ever. Exploring the ballet, its context, and its history in a wide variety of ways, this anthology also includes a rare selection of "Le Sacre" dance documentation. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 21,5 x 29 cm, Hardcover, 64 pages, 28 color & 2 b/w illustrations - In her paintings and drawings, Dawn Mellor (*1970 in UK) uses black humour to deconstruct the cult of the star (which appears to have been chosen in our society as a substitute for religion) and its believer the fan. The majority of female protagonists in her works are music icons such as Madonna, Courtney Love or Britney Spears, but there are also appearances by film actresses and figures such as Audrey Hepburn, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz (alias Judy Garland), or "glamourous" politicians such as Hilary Clinton or Condoleezza Rice.…
