Welcome to the Jungle
The exhibition ?Welcome to the Jungle? at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf and its catalogue present video installations, performances, space-encompassing presentations and site-specific works by 9 international artists who all live in different cultural contexts. The selected works observe specific situations or developments in the sphere of consumption, sustainability or the state of contemporary society, doing so in a way that is reflective and often humorous. Some of the artists make use of documentary practices and, without seeming moralistic, point to the unattainability of an ultimate truth or the right way. They also break with the medial or formal norms of the selected practices and explore the social role of art and its protagonists, not just from political but also from economic, social and ecological perspectives.00Exhibition: Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Germany (03.03. - 21.05.2018).
Objektivität und Imagination
Naturgeschichte nimmt, ausgehend von der Beschreibung und Systematisierung ihrer Objekte, das Prozesshafte der Natur in den Blick und macht Wissen (be-)greifbar. Im Fokus der Beiträge, die Reflexe der Naturgeschichte in der Kunst verhandeln, steht erstmals der Versuch einer Kunstgeschichte der Naturgeschichte für das 20. und 21. Jahrhundert. Die Beiträge beziehen Fragestellungen der Kultur- und Medienwissenschaft, Designwissenschaft, Architekturgeschichte, Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Philosophie und Biologie sowie der präparatorischen und museologischen Praxis mit ein. Im Spannungsfeld von Objektivität und Imagination werden künstlerische Adaptionen und Neuschöpfungen naturkundlicher Konzepte und Methoden, Bildstrategien und Präsentationsformen dargestellt und diskutiert.

A passionate advocate for avant-garde movements like Conceptualism and Postminimalism, he collaborated with artists such as Joseph Beuys, Bruce Nauman, Richard Serra, and Cy Twombly, developing new ways of presenting art that reflected his sweeping vision of contemporary culture. Szeemann once stated that his goal as an exhibition maker was to create a “Museum of Obsessions.” This richly illustrated volume is a virtual collection catalogue for that imaginary institution, tracing t...
