The Collection
"The Collections" is the official catalogue of the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, which is housed in Turin's Rivoli Castle. This castle was commissioned in 1718 by the king of Italy and has been home to the Museum's splendid contemporary collection since 1984. Some of the artists represented are Carla Accardi, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Lucio Fontana, Richard Long, Claes Oldenburg, Tony Cragg and James Lee Byars. Each reproduced work is accompanied by biographical information that situates each artist historically.
Video Art
Over the last four decades video art has undergone numerous transformations. If in its early years, during the mid sixties, video was used by artists to record performances created in an isolated studio, it also offered an important creative environment which defined new spaces and an alternative language to the mass codes used by television. In the _80s video took on the form of a projected image that was capable of defining a totally new type of space inside which spectators could move while surrounded by a hypnotic electronic embrace. More recently with digital technology artists can compete with the magic of cinema and develop a singularly fertile exchange with it that has been fundamental in developing the poetic language of video works today.

The Real Thing
For many in the West, Chinese contemporary art is synonymous with the political realist painters of the 1980s and 90s, who recycled the styles of communist social realism with pop cynicism. This book examines the different modes of production, artist groups, market systems and infrastructure that shape artistic production in China.
Harald Szeemann
Widely regarded as the most influential curator of the second half of the twentieth century, Harald Szeemann (1933–2005) is associated with some of the most important artistic developments of the postwar era. 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...
Thomas Schütte
Thomas Schtte's first scale models in the 1980s presented rooms to live and work. While the atelier houses reflect the artist's own activity, the symbolic forms for bunkers, which reveal Schtte's sceptical view of things and his black humour, offer security and a place of retreat.Twenty years later, Schtte once again took up imaginary model architecture with light pavilions made out of wood and leftovers from his atelier, commercial buildings like petrol stations or car parks, as well as concert halls and event locations.While the first models remain rooted in a fictional world, the models of the One Man Houses from 2003 on were converted into reality.In 2007 he built a house for two French collectors, and in 2009 - following the Ferienhaus fr Terroristen - a pavilion-like house with glass walls as a possible design for new architecture as well as an oppositional praxis in our society.This publication provides a comprehensive survey of the architectural models from the first years to today's design projects.English and German text.
