Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This catalogue traces the evolution of Posenenske's practice from early experiments with mark making to transitional aluminium wall reliefs to industrially fabricated modular sculptures, which are produced in unlimited series and assembled or arranged by consumers at will.Posenenske exhibited widely during the brief period (1956-68) that she was active as an artist, alongside peers such as Hanne Darboven, Donald Judd, and Sol LeWitt.Her work is distinguished by its radically open-ended nature: she used permutation and contingency as playful conceptual devices to oppose compositional hierarchy and invite the public to collaborate by reconfiguring her variable sculptures.Embracing reductive geometry, repetition, and industrial fabrication, she developed a form of mass-produced Minimalism that addressed the pressing socioeconomic concerns of the 1960s by circumventing the art market and rejecting established formal and cultural hierarchies.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Charlotte Posenenske: Work in Progress at Dia:Beacon, New York (8 March - 9 September 2019), before travelling to Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (18 October 2019 - 8 March 2020), Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen Düsseldorf (4 April - 2 August 2020), and Mudam Luxembourg--Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean (2 October 2020 - 10 January 2021).Co-published with Dia Art Foundation.

Book excerpt: This generously illustrated volume places German sculptor Charlotte Posenenske's groundbreaking works from the 1960s firmly within the history of Minimalist sculpture and Conceptual art. A contemporary of Donald Judd, Posenenske is most known for her body of spare, repetitive forms made from industrial materials, corrugated cardboard, pressboard and sheet metal, which she manipulated and bent for public spaces and performative appearances. In the mid-1960s, after producing several series of Abstract Expressionist and Constructivist paintings, Posenenske began the body of work she is most associated with today: the infinitely positionable and site-specific ventilation shaft-like series Square Tubes (1967). She was featured in Documenta 12 in 2007 and her pieces are part of numerous collections, but her work receded from the foreground when she abandoned sculpture in 1968, feeling that art did not have sufficient political impact. Posenenske died in 1985; this monograph secures her legacy.

Book excerpt: The work of Charlotte Posenenske and Michael Reite are united by the shared notion that art, like society and the individual itself, is supposed to be open to change through the active participation of the audience, who thus contribute to the creative process. This book focuses on the idea of "changeability" in art represented by the diverse performances of Posenenske and Reite.

Download or read book Tell Them I Said No written by Martin Herbert and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on artists who have withdrawn from the art world or have adopted an openly antagonistic position against it. This collection of essays by Martin Herbert considers various artists who have withdrawn from the art world or adopted an antagonistic position toward its mechanisms. A large part of the artist's role in today's professionalized art system is being present. Providing a counterargument to this concept of self-marketing, Herbert examines the nature of retreat, whether in protest, as a deliberate conceptual act, or out of necessity. By illuminating these motives, Tell Them I Said No offers a unique perspective on where and how the needs of the artist and the needs of the art world diverge. Essays on Lutz Bacher, Stanley Brouwn, Christopher D'Arcangelo, Trisha Donnelly, David Hammons, Agnes Martin, Cady Noland, Laurie Parsons, Charlotte Posenenske, and Albert York.

Book excerpt: This book, Burkhard Brunn's commentary on the manifesto Charlotte Posenenske wrote in 1968, will help build a deeper understanding of her art. It goes hand in hand with Renate Wiehager's -Charlotte Posenenske,- which devotes particular attention to the artist's objects, and the volume -Charlotte Posenenske--Die fruhen Jahre,- which includes an essay by Philipp Kaiser about the minimalist conceptual artist's paintings. The three volumes lay the foundation for further reflections by experts; Daniel Marzona, Jorg Daur, Astrid Wege, and Stefanie Brauer have contributed essays to this book. Brunn's own expertise derives from his collaboration with the artist and the many posthumous exhibitions he organized as the trustee of her estate.

Download or read book The Collected Essays and Criticism Volume 4 written by Clement Greenberg and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clement Greenberg is widely recognized as the most influential and articulate champion of modernism during its American ascendency after World War II, the period largely covered by these highly acclaimed volumes of The Collected Essays and Criticism. Volume 3: Affirmations and Refusals presents Greenberg's writings from the period between 1950 and 1956, while Volume 4: Modernism with a Vengeance gathers essays and criticism of the years 1957 to 1969. The 120 works range from little-known pieces originally appearing Vogue and Harper's Bazaar to such celebrated essays as "The Plight of Our Culture" (1953), "Modernist Painting" (1960), and "Post Painterly Abstraction" (1964). Preserved in their original form, these writings allow readers to witness the development and direction of Greenberg's criticism, from his advocacy of abstract expressionism to his enthusiasm for color-field painting. With the inclusion of critical exchanges between Greenberg and F. R. Leavis, Fairfield Porter, Thomas B. Hess, Herbert Read, Max Kozloff, and Robert Goldwater, these volumes are essential sources in the ongoing debate over modern art. For each volume, John O'Brian has furnished an introduction, a selected bibliography, and a brief summary of events that places the criticism in its artistic and historical context.

Download or read book Notes on Participatory Art written by Gustaf Almenberg and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-12-02 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living in the Age of Participation. Social media are exploding, customer cooperation is sought in product development, and customer content is even built into media. But where is the art reflecting our times? Where are the artists making this kind of art? Who were their predecessors? In this book the author traces the roots of Participatory Art from Duchamp, Mondrian and Moholy-Nagy via less well known artists like Lygia Clark and Charlotte Posenenske as well as via better known artists like Joseph Beuys and yvind Fahlstrm to contemporary artists showing an interest in participation like Olafur Eliasson and Antony Gormley. Participation is the most important thing that has happened in art Gormley said in 2009. What, then, is Participatory Art? After around 40 years of practice the author tries to distill the essential principles in 10 suggestions for a Manifesto. Most central is its focus on the unfolding creative moment itself and on the creativity of the spectator.

Download or read book Skulpturen Aus Papier written by Marc Gundel and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seit etwa fünfzehn Jahren sieht man auf Messen und Biennalen immer häufiger Skulpturen aus Papier. Dabei handelt es sich nicht um Modelle oder Studien, sondern um vollendete Werke. Wie kommt es, dass Künstler gerade im Bereich der Skulptur dieses empfindliche und vergängliche Material verwenden? Seit wann wird es für die beständige Skulptur eingesetzt und woher stammt die Idee, Bronze und Marmor durch Papier zu ersetzen? Pablo Picasso ist einer der ersten, der bereits 1912 Skulpturen aus Papier herstellt. Aus einzelnen abstrakten Formen konstruiert er eine Gitarre. Sein Vorbild ist eine afrikanische Maske, die ebenfalls nur aus abstrakten Einzelformen besteht und dennoch eindeutig ein Gesicht wiedergibt. Wie funktioniert ein Bild, ein Abbild, diese Frage treibt Picasso an. Auch sein Zeitgenosse Kurt Schwitters beginnt in den 1920er-Jahren, Collagen aus gefundenen Papierresten herzustellen, um herauszufinden, was eine bildnerische Komposition enthalten muss. Die französische Gruppe der 'Affichistes' knüpft nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg direkt an Schwitters an, dreht sein Prinzip aber um: Durch das Abziehen der obersten Schichten vielfach überklebter Plakatwände schaffen sie neue Kompositionen. In den 1960er-Jahren erlebt die Papierskulptur eine erste Hochphase, als man dem ehrwürdigen Charakter der Kunst und seiner für die Ewigkeit geschaffenen Bildwerke entkommen möchte. Kunst, so das neue Credo, soll für jeden verständlich und erschwinglich sein, sie soll einen möglichst direkten Kontakt zum alltäglichen Leben haben. In diese Zeit fallen die Arbeiten von Charlotte Posenenske, Erwin Heerich, Franz Erhard Walther und Diter Roth. 0 0Exhibition: Kunsthalle Vogelmann, Städtische Museen Heilbronn.

Download or read book Hip Hop Architecture written by Sekou Cooke and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book is not for you. It is not for architectural academic elites. It is not for those who have gentrified our neighborhoods, overly intellectualized the profession, and ignored all contemporary Black theory within the discipline. You have made architecture a symbol of exclusion, oppression, and domination rather than expression, aspiration, and inspiration. This book is not for conformists-Black, White, or other.” As architecture grapples with its own racist legacy, Hip-Hop Architecture outlines a powerful new manifesto-the voice of the underrepresented, marginalized, and voiceless within the discipline. Exploring the production of spaces, buildings, and urban environments that embody the creative energies in hip-hop, it is a newly expanding design philosophy which sees architecture as a distinct part of hip-hop's cultural expression, and which uses hip-hop as a lens through which to provoke new architectural ideas. Examining the present and the future of Hip-Hop Architecture, the book also explores its historical antecedents and its theory, placing it in a wider context both within architecture and within Black and African American movements. Throughout, the work is illustrated with inspirational case studies of architectural projects and creative practices, and interspersed with interludes and interviews with key architects, designers, and academics in the field. This is a vital and provocative work that will appeal to architects, designers, students, theorists, and anyone interested in a fresh view of architecture, design, race and culture. Includes Foreword by Michael Eric Dyson.
