Condition: Very Good. Hardcover, 108 pages. "Minnesota-based Chris Larson examines the relationship between humans and machines. In recent works, the artist has used his prodigious woodworking skills to depict large objects colliding--a spaceship nearly flattening a wooden barn, for example, about which Larson has remarked, "I wouldn't go and say this is about this church that was blown up in the 30s. I wouldn't say this is about, like, invading Iraq or some planes crashing into buildings. It's just--there's a lot of two worlds colliding right now, and it doesn't seem like they're colliding real well." Another constructed collision shows the General E. Lee (the 1969 Dodge Charger made famous by the 1970s television show The Dukes of Hazzard) crashing into Unabomber Ted Kaczynski's Montana cabin. This publication features a new film, as well as recent sculpture, drawing and photographic works, evidencing what critic Ken Johnson has termed "a promisingly strange and baroque imagination."

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Neu. Neu Neuware; original eingeschweisst; Rechnung mit MwSt.; new item, still sealed; -Chris Larson ( 1966 in St. Paul, Minnesota) untersucht in seinem Werk die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Mühe und Anstrengung stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt, seine Protagonisten rackern sich ab, um zu schaffen, was ein Augenblick wieder zunichte machen kann. Viele von Larsons frühen Arbeiten sind große hölzerne Konstruktionen, in denen Objekte aufeinanderprallen: Ein Raumschiff begräbt eine Scheune unter sich. Larsons Werk ist voll von solchen Metaphern für heroische oder unheroische Anstrengungen, für den Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse in der menschlichen Natur. In seinen Filmen führen Akteure geheimnisvolle Aufgaben mit eigens dafür geschaffenen Werkzeugen aus. Angesichts ihrer nicht enden wollenden, unentrinnbaren Mühen drohen sich die Grenzen zwischen Mensch und Maschine aufzulösen. Die Monografie präsentiert unter anderem einen neuen Film des Künstlers, einige erstmals gezeigte Skulpturen sowie Zeichnungen, Fotografien und frühe zweidimensionale Arbeiten, die das erzählerische Moment seiner Filme und Installationen verdichten.
