Leichte Abnutzungen. "My work has moved away from the idea of a painting as an object," Michael Lin (born 1964) observes. "I'm more interested in creating a painting as a space to occupy."

Synopsis:

Text by Nicolas Bourriaud, Hou Hanru, Bruce Grenville, Vivian Rehberg.

From the Back Cover: Michael Lin (*1964 in Tokyo) orchestrates monumental painting installations that reconceptualize and reconfigure public spaces. Using patterns and designs appropriated from traditional Taiwanese textiles, his work ornaments museum caf?s, lobbies, galleries, and fa?ades, transforming the institutional architecture of the public museum. His unconventional paintings invite visitors to reconsider their usual perception of those spaces and to become an integral part of the work, giving meaning to its potential as an arena for interaction and encounter. Lin, educated in the United States, commutes between Brussels, Shanghai, and Taipei, and his work reflects the influence of those diverse sites of cultural production and his movement between them. \nThis publication is the first comprehensive overview of Lin's practice and includes texts by Bruce Grenville as well as other internationally based curators and writers who have worked with Lin in the past, such as Nicolas Bourriaud, Hou Hanru, Annette Tietenberg, and Vivian Rehberg.
