Book Description

This publication explores themes of the exhibition through its terms--not, however, to confine into isolated conceptual categories, but to interconnect. These terms characterize exhibiting and emphasize a "between-ness." Examining a term lays bare its ruptures, shifts, or recreations, as well as social, societal, and cultural changes that have the power to structure through historical conjecture. Almost fifty terms relevant to the making and discussion of exhibitions today have been compiled in Terms of Exhibiting (from A to Z), contributed by Liam Gillick, Manfred Hermes, Wojciech Kosma, Clemens von Wedemeyer, Tobias Vogt, Jochen Volz, and June Yap, among others. Six essays investigate key terms raised by the three-part exhibition series "Terms of Exhibiting, Producing, and Performing" at Kunsthaus Dresden in 2012. Jan Verwoert reflects on the division of labor in artistic production, while Anke te Heesen presents a survey of the museum, collection, and exhibition. Markus Miessen discusses the advantages of curating institutions and inventing structures rather than merely implementing or appropriating them. The book also includes essays by Kirsten Maar, Ursula Panhans-Bühler, and Lee Weng-Choy. Each of the twelve conversations with various artists places one term under scrutiny within the context of their own artistic interests and practices--with reference to the term presence, Daniel Knorr explains the significance of materialization for his own creative process, while Brian O'Doherty discusses invention in relation to his practice. Each term generates further insight and reflection into each individual art practice.

Book Description

How global contemporary art reanimates the past as a resource for the present, combating modern art's legacy of Eurocentrism. If European modernism was premised on the new—on surpassing the past, often by assigning it to the “traditional” societies of the Global South—global contemporary art reanimates the past as a resource for the present. In this account of what globalization means for contemporary art, David Joselit argues that the creative use of tradition by artists from around the world serves as a means of combatting modern art's legacy of Eurocentrism. Modernism claimed to live in the future and relegated the rest of the world to the past. Global contemporary art shatters this myth by reactivating various forms of heritage—from literati ink painting in China to Aboriginal painting in Australia—in order to propose new and different futures. Joselit analyzes not only how heritage becomes contemporary through the practice of individual artists but also how a cultural infrastructure of museums, biennials, and art fairs worldwide has emerged as a means of generating economic value, attracting capital and tourist dollars. Joselit traces three distinct forms of modernism that developed outside the West, in opposition to Euro-American modernism: postcolonial, socialist realism, and the underground. He argues that these modern genealogies are synchronized with one another and with Western modernism to produce global contemporary art. Joselit discusses curation and what he terms “the curatorial episteme,” which, through its acts of framing or curating, can become a means of recalibrating hierarchies of knowledge—and can contribute to the dual projects of decolonization and deimperialization.

Book Description

This anthology provides a multivocal critique of exhibitions of contemporary art, bringing together the writings of artists, curators and theorists. Collectively these diverse perspectives are united by the notion that if the focus for modernist discussion was individual works of art, it is the exhibition that is the prime cultural carrier of contemporaneity. The texts encompass exhibition design and form; exhibitions that are object-based, live or discursive; projects that no longer rely on a physical space to be visited in person; artists' responses to being curated, and their reflections on the potential of acting curatorially. Set against the rise of the curator as an influential force in the contemporary art world, this volume underlines the crucial role of artists in questioning and shaping the phenomenon of the exhibition.

Book Description

The interrelations between objects and organisms take many forms, from the microbes known to inhabit medieval manuscripts to the biomorphic forms observable in Art Nouveau lamps, and from the androids cast in American superhero comics to the coral found on Chinese porcelain recovered from shipwrecks. The contributions to this volume investigate various interactions between inanimate and animate matter in art, literature, technology, and other areas of human perception and expression. The book highlights how certain characteristics allow objects to be understood as living organisms, and vice versa. Via a range of dynamics involving vivification and reification, objects and organisms emerge as unstable, transforming within evolving situations. Innovative, interdisciplinary object-scientific contribution to critical ecology From the early modern period into the 21st century

Book Description

Contemporary society has seen an unprecedented rise in both the demand and the desire to be creative, to bring something new into the world. Once the reserve of artistic subcultures, creativity has now become a universal model for culture and an imperative in many parts of society. In this new book, cultural sociologist Andreas Reckwitz investigates how the ideal of creativity has grown into a major social force, from the art of the avant-garde and postmodernism to the ‘creative industries’ and the innovation economy, the psychology of creativity and self-growth, the media representation of creative stars, and the urban design of ‘creative cities’. Where creativity is often assumed to be a force for good, Reckwitz looks critically at how this imperative has developed from the 1970s to the present day. Though we may well perceive creativity as the realization of some natural and innate potential within us, it has rather to be understood within the structures of a very specific culture of the new in late modern society. The Invention of Creativity is a bold and refreshing counter to conventional wisdom that shows how our age is defined by radical and restrictive processes of social aestheticization. It will be of great interest to those working in a variety of disciplines, from cultural and social theory to art history and aesthetics.

Book Description

"Hans Dieter Schaal is already something of a cultural institution in Germany. Trained as an architect, he always operates outside the mainstream, designing and realizing stage sets, sculptures, cemeteries, parks, squares, spatial installations or book projects, which are often trendsetters in their own field. In the last 10 years Schaal has established a focal point that seems to be the sum of all his themes : exhibition architecture."--Jaquette.

Book Description

"Nedko Solakov's wide-ranging and exuberant work, which is hard to keep within formal bounds, is a singular assault on the desire for perfection, finality, and clarity. Starting from his studies of mural painting at the art academy in Sofia, the Bulgarian artist (born 1957) has developed an oeuvre over the past twenty-five years that is as humorous as it is playful, as stinging as it is melancholy, and which casts doubt on the authenticity of each and every system of representation. At the latest since his contributions to the 2007 Venice Biennale and Documenta 12, Solakov has occupied one of the central positions within current European art. This publication accompanies a large survey of his oeuvre that includes examples of his work from the late eighties to 2007, combined with pieces that have been created specifically for the exhibition Emotion."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description

Marcel Duchamp hat die Ausstellungspraxis zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil seines Werkes gemacht. Kuratorische Gesten und Konzepte, welche die Inszenierung seiner Arbeiten bestimmten und es ihm erlaubten, sich von kanonischen Festlegungen des Künstlertypus zu entfernen; fotografische Dokumentationen und Veröffentlichungen seiner New Yorker Ateliers; Themen, Beiträge und Layoutentwürfe für Kunstmagazine; seine Tätigkeit als Berater, Juror und inszenierender Kurator für Ausstellungen im Kontext des amerikanischen Modernismus, Dada und des Surrealismus; der eminente Einfluss auf wichtige Privatsammlungen seiner Zeit - alle denkbaren Aspekte des Kuratierens, Ausstellens und Sammelns haben im Werk von Duchamp eine qualitativ neue künstlerische Dimension gewonnen. Parallel zu Duchamps dezidierter Distanzierung von gegebenen Strukturen künstlerischen Arbeitens näherte er sich so einer heute durchaus gängigen Vorstellung der kuratorischen Praxis als ästhetisches Medium. Er war, so die zugespitzte These des Symposiums und der hier vorliegenden Publikation, einer der ersten ›Künstler-Kuratoren‹ und hat damit die Rezeption seines eigenen Werkes und die kunsthistorischen Entwicklungen der Ausstellungspraxis entscheidend beeinflusst. Den mehrdeutigen Wahrnehmungsweisen und offenen Deutungsperspektiven seines eigenen Werkes hat Duchamp durch Inszenierung, Reproduktion und Multiplikation seiner und der Arbeit anderer eine neue konzeptuelle Richtung gegeben, mit der sich eine Wende für die zeitgenössische Kunst bestimmen lässt. Prinzipien der Ausstellungspraxis wurden nun zu entscheidenden Faktoren der Werkkonstitution. Der Band versammelt die Beiträge eines Symposiums der Daimler Art Collection (25./26.4.2017) und dürfte die erste substanzielle Publikation zu diesem Thema sein, er versammelt acht Essays ausgewiesener Autorinnen und Autoren, die den Werkstatus der vielfältigen kuratorischen Gesten Duchamps analysieren.

Book Description

Dark Rooms. Räume der Un/Sichtbarkeit versucht über verschiedene Zugänge das viel beschworene Primat der Sichtbarkeit und Transparenz zu hinterfragen. In der Vergangenheit ist bereits deutlich geworden, dass es keinen einfachen Zusammenhang zwischen visueller Repräsentation und politischer Macht gibt. Sichtbarkeit ist eine ambivalente Kategorie, die sich keineswegs geradlinig in gesellschaftliche Einflussnahme übersetzen lässt. Betitelt nach dem Darkroom, jenem Raum, der als Gegenbild zum White Cube des Kunstmuseums und der Galerie die alte analoge Dunkelkammer der Fotografie, aber auch die Cruising Zone in Gay Clubs bezeichnet, diskutiert der vorliegende Band vordergründig politisch-ästhetische Praktiken, deren Akteure dieses Konzept hinterfragen oder negieren. Die Bandbreite des Umgangs mit Un/Sichtbarkeit kann von der kompletten Verweigerung von Sichtbarkeit in Form einer bewussten Bildvermeidung bis hin zur Subversion einer auf Sichtbarkeit setzenden Herrschaftsform reichen – etwa mit Strategien der Camouflage. Die Beiträge fragen explizit nach den Funktionen dieser Doppelbewegung und ihren Entstehungsbedingungen sowie den Möglichkeiten zur Unterwanderung normativer Kategorien von Sichtbar-Machung und Zu-Sehen-Gegebenem.

Book Description

Considerations of thingness, intertwining transdisciplinary discourses, transcultural perspectives, and methods of practice-theory. The meaning, function, and status of things have changed decisively over the past two decades. This development can be traced back to a growing skepticism since the second half of the twentieth century that culture can be presented through things. The questioning of thingness is an integral part of presentation and has informed and shaped the social relevance of the field of the curatorial. Immanent to presentation as a mode of being (public) in the world, the curatorial has the potential to address, visualize, and question the central effects of the changing status and function of things. The presentational mode has played a generative role, vitally participating in the mobilization of things through its aesthetic, semantic, social, and, not least, economic dimensions. Intertwining transdisciplinary discourses, transcultural perspectives, and methods of practice-theory, the anthology Curatorial Things is a new orientation of the analysis of things.
