Jonathan Meese, Daniel Richter, Tal R


Book Description

Jonathan Meese, Daniel Richter and Tal R ranks among contemporary art's international heavyweights. Now they have collaborated on a large-scale joint project for Holstebro Kunstmuseum.Jonathan Meese (Germany, b.1970), Daniel Richter (Germany, b.1962), and Tal R (Denmark, b.1967) are contemporaries, having in common a neo-figurative and neo-expressive approach to art-making.Individually, each artist has worked within traditional genres, but has also ventured into and experimented with ever new, more sculptural, theatrical-performative and installation-like forms. Collectively, there is much humour and existential pathos and protest at stake.They are not just colleagues but also personal friends. In the past, they have co-produced artistic projects by pairs, but never have all three come together to create a common project. 'The Men Who Fell from Earth' is a total staging of extremely rare character, created in the strong spirit of artistic collegiality and friendship.Accompanies the exhibition THE MEN WHO FELL FROM EARTH, 16 Sep 2017 - 7 Jan 2018, Holstebro Kunstmuseum, Germany.




Jonathan Meese


Book Description

Meese's work includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, and performances but also extends to writing, stage design, and directing within the field of theatre and opera. His practice addresses certain uneasy aspects of German political history and seeks to adopt ideological symbols and empty them of meaning. The subjects of his work have included Richard Wagner's three act opera Parsifal, and more recently, the American actor, John Wayne. Wayne's portrayals of unconquerable cowboys in over 80 Westerns, serve as the inspiration for a new suite of drawings entitled ERZMARSHALL. Newly conceived for the exhibition is an immersive installation that occupies an entire room. Combining painting, drawing, and sculpture, the work provides an environment in which the viewer can bear witness to Meese's wide-ranging imagination. Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Jonathan Meese: DR. TRANS-FORM-ERZ at David Nolan Gallery, New York, 27 October - 17 December 2016.




Neue Deutsche Malerei


Book Description

One of the most important artistic movements in recent years is chronicled and showcased in this dynamic work.Born in Germany in the years following the collapse of the Communist regime, the New Leipzig School started when a group of classmates at the Leipzig Academy rediscovered figurative art. Their paintings reflected the melancholy that pervaded East Germany as it struggled with capitalism, high unemployment and depopulation. Fifteen year later, paintings by the Leipzig school and its related movement, Dresden Pop, are conquering the international art market. The authors take on this important trend one painter at a time. They examine each artist's oeuvre on its own merit and consider various factors behind the movements--the onset of the digital age, social disillusionment and individual protest. Breathtaking reproductions allow readers to form their own ideas about what constitutes and drives new German painting, and understand its significance around the world.
