Paperback. Condition: New. 1. The large-format paintings of Nam Kim (born 1991 in the US, lives in Vienna) are inhabited by chunky androgynous, naked figures, which gently blend with the vegetation, light and shadows, or ornaments around them. "The figures resonate with fluid grace, caught in the intimate moment between thought and touch." (R. Grunenberg).Here, the human body is equal to its natural environs and not separate. Kim begins her paintings with zones of gestural abstraction, from which the characters grow like plants into her compositions. Kim grew up in Korea and her painting practice combines elements of Asian traditions (in art and theatre) with Western art history and virtuality. This book presents her works of the last three years and includes an insightful essay by Robert Grunenberg.…

Paperback. Condition: New. What is worth talking about in art eludes language. Aesthetic experience is without words, like a human encounter that touches upon our innermost being. Etsu Egami is interested in the margins of understanding, where the communication of ideas and feelings threatens to fail, where forms become illegible. That is the point on which she homes in with her brush, which she wields in a rough calligraphic style, putting almost translucent oil paints on the canvas.Spectral faces emerge that dissolve into abstraction; abstract forms, beheld from the corner of one's eye, momentarily coalesce into a likeness. Painting, to Egami, is a physical and performative act, the brush an extension of her arm, bringing a picture into being in sweeping rhythmical motions. As we contemplate her work, that momentum imparts itself to us: first our eyes begin to wander, then we feel our bodies stir, and finally the spirit, too, pulsates in the rhythm of the brush. Gathering Egami's most outstanding works, this catalogue is a universal invitation to join a peculiar dance, an arc of light the artist traces across all barriers to understanding and that speaks to our senses.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Contemplation and Communion with the World. Ugo Rondinone (b. Brunnen, Switzerland, 1964; lives and works in New York) is a conceptual and installation artist whose oeuvre spans abstract painting, photography, and sculpture. Nature is where he has long found inspiration, regeneration, and comfort: "In nature, you enter a space where the sacred and the profane, the mystical and the secular vibrate against one another". Rondinone's works oscillate between the extremes of interiority and engagement with the wider world; stone is often present in his art as a recurrent material and symbol. The sculptures in the series nuns + monks originated as limestone models; the artist made three-dimensional scans and then cast the works in bronze. As a reflection of the inner self in the outside world, the friable mineral contrasts with the solidity of the bronze; the natural genesis of the millennia-old stones with the presence of the polychrome casts in the here and now. nuns + monks attest to a visibility while also giving the impression of flinching from the gazes to which they expose themselves. …

Gebundene Ausgabe, 4°. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. 118 S. Das Buch ist in sehr gutem, sauberen Zustand. Einband minimal berieben. Sonst sauberes und wohlerhaltenes Exemplar. -----Inhalt. AUS DER VERGANGENHEIT EINE BESSERE ZUKUNFT GESTALTEN Beate Passow (geb. 1945 in Stadtoldendorf, lebt und arbeitet in München) arbeitet mit ihren Installationen, Fotodokumentationen und Collagen gegen das Vergessen, sieht ihr Schaffen aber nicht als Vergangenheitsbewältigung, sondern als Gegenwartsbewältigung. Mit ihren Bildfindungen legt sie den Finger in die Wunden der Erinnerung. Allerdings nicht, um Erkenntnis zu gewinnen, sondern um sichtbare und überprüfbare Gegebenheiten zu verdeutlichen. In ihrem Bilderzyklus Monkey Business entwirft die Künstlerin eine rätselhafte Fabelwelt mit politischer Dimension. Eigenartige Tiere und mythische Figuren bevölkern die großformatigen, schwarzweißen Bilder, die erst bei näherer Betrachtung als gewebte Tapisserien zu erkennen sind. Die ungewöhnlichen Protagonisten bewegen sich durch leicht zu identifizierende Orte: Gibraltar, die New Yorker Wall Street, Brüssel oder die Insel Lampedusa. Hinter diesen geografischen Zuordnungen verbergen sich die politischen Abgründe des gegenwärtigen Europa, dessen herrschende Systeme, ökonomische Strukturen und politische Bewegungen von Passow zur Debatte gestellt werden.

Spiral Bound. Condition: New. On the Disappearance of Italian Culture. Under the collective label SineUmbra, the artists Luisa Eugeni (b. Assisi, Italy, 1987; lives and works in Berlin) and Mattia Bonafini (b. Legnago, Italy, 1980; lives and works in Bremen) develop interdisciplinary projects that they realize as sprawling multimedia installations comprising video projections, sound, and performative elements. The point of departure for their project SOMA was Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1975 essay "Disappearance of the Fireflies", which probes the wrenching transformation that Italian society and the country's very landscapes have undergone since the 1960s. SOMA melds performance art, the visitors' movements, geography, and psychology in a space of experience that speaks to all senses for an exploration of the impact that traumata inflicted on individuals and communities by natural disasters and social changes have on the human soul and perceptual capacities. In keeping with the artists' collective and dynamic creative vision, the catalogue embeds the multimedia installation in a context fleshed out by rich photographic documentation and numerous texts. On occasion of the master class graduate exhibition at the Bremen.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Do we think in images or in language? Can writing visualize time? Heinz Gappmayr (1925-2010) was interested in text as a spatial event and in letters as architecture. Although his works were often presented in the context of Visual Poetry, Gappmayr himself preferred the more neutral term text to lyricism. His understanding of written language as a conceptual medium and typography as an indicator of physicality was closer to Lawrence Weiner's approach than to that of the Concrete Poets. This volume accompanies an exhibition at the Tiroler Landesmuseum and includes Gappmayer's most important art-in-architecture projects, as well as a complete notebook from 1961, with commentary by Gaby Gappmayr, the artist's daughter. A conversation with her provides valuable philosophical insights into her father's work.…

Paperback. Condition: New. In a probing engagement with the screen, an omnipresent object in contemporary life, Antonia Hirsch charts the gulf between the digital and the analog, the two spheres of which our perceived reality is composed. In provocative installations and objects, the artist conceives the distinctions between screen, mirror, and blade as less than sharply defined.Her works show rigidly geometric shapes made of hard and shimmering glass and steel; they encounter eerily somatic and perishable-looking cardboard or soft foamed-plastic components that recall the bodies they perhaps once served. Reflective surfaces mirror our gaze, but the less classy materials, too, await recognition by the beholder's body.The book accompanies Hirsch's solo exhibition "Phenomenal Fracture" at Kunsthalle Lingen; photographs and writings convey extensive and sustained impressions that run the gamut from the uncanny to the darkly humourous.…

The participatory art project was groundbreaking at the time in its collaboration with civil justice initiatives. This book documents bürgersteig for the first time with all its aspects, disclosing the sources for the action as well as material on the legal conflicts that followed the project.…
