Book Albert Oehlen Boxed Edition

Book excerpt: Limited to 1,000 copies, each numbered and signed by the artist, each signed by the artist. Often wryly funny and just as smart, Albert Oehlen's paintings play the medium for all it's worth. After an early realization that the so-called death of painting actually freed his enthusiasm as to the number of aspects through which one could expand painting, Oehlen, got to work on a wide variety of figurative and non-objective offerings, in what he has called his post-non-representational art. In his most recent work group Oehlen expands painting through the use of blatant advertising posters whose in-your-face aesthetics he transforms with subtle brushwork. Never without a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor, his work seems to be winking at us as it dares us to change the way we look at an image. Klaus Kertess throws a light on the years from 1988 onwards, when Oehlen saw himself self-consciously as a painter and started his first abstract works, then continued to probe the limits of the medium.

Download or read book Owens Laura written by Scott Rothkopf and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly illustrated, expansive mid-career survey of the stand-out American artist's pioneering and influential work, with each copy featuring a unique silk-screen cover printed in Owens's studio Since the early 1990s, Laura Owens (b. 1970) has challenged traditional assumptions about figuration and abstraction in her pioneering approach to painting. Created in close collaboration with the artist on the occasion of her mid-career survey at the Whitney Museum of American Art, this inventive and comprehensive book features an incisive introduction by Scott Rothkopf, critical essays, literary texts, and short commentaries on a variety of subjects related to Owens's broad interests, which range from folk art and needlework to comics and wallpaper. Reflections by more than twenty of Owens's fellow artists, collaborators, assistants, dealers, family members, and friends offer an array of perspectives on her work at different periods in her life, beginning with her high school years in Ohio and ending with her current exhibition. A rich trove of more than a thousand images, drawn from the artist's personal archive and largely unpublished before now, includes personal correspondence, journals, academic transcripts, handwritten notes, source material, exhibition announcements, clippings, and installation photographs. Strikingly, each copy also features a unique silk-screen cover printed in Owens's studio, giving readers the opportunity to own an original work of art. Together, all of these elements provide a rare and intimate look at how an artist might make her way in the world as well as how art gets made, movements take hold, and relationships evolve over time.

Book Microgroove

  • Author : John Corbett
  • Publisher : Duke University Press
  • Release : 2015-09-03
  • ISBN : 0822375532
  • Pages : 345 pages

Download or read book Microgroove written by John Corbett and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microgroove continues John Corbett's exploration of diverse musics, with essays, interviews, and musician profiles that focus on jazz, improvised music, contemporary classical, rock, folk, blues, post-punk, and cartoon music. Corbett's approach to writing is as polymorphous as the music, ranging from oral history and journalistic portraiture to deeply engaged cultural critique. Corbett advocates for the relevance of "little" music, which despite its smaller audience is of enormous cultural significance. He writes on musicians as varied as Sun Ra, PJ Harvey, Koko Taylor, Steve Lacy, and Helmut Lachenmann. Among other topics, he discusses recording formats; the relationship between music and visual art, dance, and poetry; and, with Terri Kapsalis, the role of female orgasm sounds in contemporary popular music. Above all, Corbett privileges the importance of improvisation; he insists on the need to pay close attention to “other” music and celebrates its ability to open up pathways to new ideas, fresh modes of expression, and unforeseen ways of knowing.

Book Guitars that are Not Called Gudrun

Download or read book Guitars that are Not Called Gudrun written by Martin Kippenberger and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 26 February 2003 Martin Kippenberger would have turned fifty. In commemoration of his birthday, the gallerist Max Hetzler has dedicated a book to him. "Gitarren, die nicht Gudrun heißen" rekindles our memories of an enfant terrible of the art world and explores the oeuvre of this outstanding artist, who died six years ago. Artists, critics, art historians and authors have written a series of highly personal testimonies to Martin Kippenberger, who was a friend, a role model and a source of irritation all in one. Albert Oehlen tells of the intense artistic debate that began at the Hamburg Art Academy in the late 1970s and persisted even after both artists had moved off in different stylistic directions. Peter Pakesch recalls his encounter in the 1980s with Kippenberger the "utopian campaigner", and explains how the artist was driven by his boundless desire to grapple with the world, with whatever company he was keeping, and above all with art. As the artist's former assistant, Merlin Carpenter describes the "Kippenberger system" through which all manner of alien ideas and creativity were constantly ploughed into Kippenberger's artistic production. Stephan Schmidt-Wulffen examines how public discourse forged the identity of this artist, who declared that role-playing and strategy were crucial components of his perception of art. For his part, Martin Prinzhorn wonders what place should be given to a body of art that has become so indistinguishable from the persona of the artist, but which at the same time appears almost to vanish inside the most diverse artistic identities. Elusive but omnipresent, Martin Kippenberger appears to his friend Mayo Thompson in a dream as a restless spirit who, as Werner Buttner says, couldn't even have resisted mocking his own funeral-"He would have turned that into art, too". Or, to use Rainald Goetz's words: "Ego-apotheosis: whoosh and away." Martin Kippenberger's vivid presence in the thoughts and writings of his friends is matched by the forceful presence of his work throughout this publication. Pictures, invitation cards, catalogues, snapshots-the book's design compounds this path through the labyrinth of his artistic output and lends Martin Kippenberger physical and visual presence on every page.

Book Alo  s Godinat

  • Publisher : Jrp Ringier
  • Release : 2009
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 74 pages

Download or read book Alo s Godinat written by Aloïs Godinat and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2009 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like other artists of his generation, for Aloïs Godinat the idea was to start over again without disowning, use without quoting, propose without constraining, question without using rhetoric. Re-pasted posters, reconstructed obsolete objects, and generic elements (rods, sticks, and suchlike) indicating some potential use, make up the artist's repertoire of forms and gestures. Forms and gestures, for, as with the American, Trisha Donnelly or the American-Cuban duo, Allora & Calzadilla, underlying Godinat's art there is a two-fold paradigm of music and performance. This duality is present both in the works and in the concepts used (amplification, repetition, partition, register, play, etc.). In that sense, Aloïs Godinat has something of a pacified heritage at his disposal; as one who says he is interested in the 'design' of paintings by Christopher Wool and Ed Ruscha, he can address the question of appropriation from the standpoint of music (as did Francis Baudevin in his own way), and Conceptual art under the performative aegis of Fluxus. Published with l'espace lausannois d'art contemporain (l'elac), Lausanne, and the Kunsthalle Bern. English text. Also available as a French edition ISBN 9783037640456

Book Annotated Catalogue Raisonn   of the Books by Martin Kippenberger  1977 1997

Download or read book Annotated Catalogue Raisonn of the Books by Martin Kippenberger 1977 1997 written by Uwe Koch and published by Distributed Art Publishers (DAP). This book was released on 2003 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roberta Smith called him the "madcap bad boy of contemporary German art" and also "one of the three or four best German artists of the postwar period." Martin Kippenberger disrupted the status quo throughout his brief, excessive life, not just by making art of every variety and medium but also by conducting an extended performance in the vicinity of art that involved running galleries, organizing exhibitions, collecting the work of his contemporaries and overseeing assistants. He published books and catalogues, played in a rock-and-roll band and cut records, ran a performance-art space during his early years in Berlin, became part owner of a restaurant in Los Angeles during six months he spent there preparing for an exhibition, and collaborated extensively with other artists. This particular volume considers his output of artist's books, as well as his exhibition catalogues and all the publications whose content he either created or edited. More than just documentation, this publication makes accessible for a wider public the multiple aspects of Kippenberger's books, with all the complexity and consequence of his oeuvre intact.
