Der britische Künstler Antony Gormley hat eigens für die große Deichtorhalle zur Documenta-Zeit eine neue, große, spektakuläre Installation, das »Horizon Field Hamburg« entwickelt. Der Besucher betritt die Nordhalle der Deichtorhallen und sieht sich mit einem 2.500 qm großen und bis zu 19 m hohen, fast leeren Raum konfrontiert. In diesem leeren Raum lädt eine weite, schwarze, spiegelnde, schwebende Ebene siebeneinhalb Meter über dem Erdboden zu neuen Erfahrungen ein. »Horizon Field Hamburg« orientiert und verbindet die Wahrnehmung des Gehens, Fühlens, Hörens und Sehens neu. Diese persönliche beziehungsweise kollektive Erfahrung vermittelt sich durch Vibration, Sound und Widerspiegelung. Das Projekt kann insgesamt als ein waagerecht im Raum aufgespanntes Gemälde aufgefasst werden, auf dem die Besucher zu Figuren auf einem frei schwebenden und definierten Grund werden. Ausstellung: Deichtorhallen Hamburg, 27/4-9/9/2012

Few artists have changed the manner in which photographic images are made, read, and received over the past two decades as dramatically as German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans (b. 1968). One of the most important and distinctive artists to emerge in the 1990s, Tillmans’s work is internationally recognized for its powerful reflections on the often overlooked objects and moments in everyday life. With images culled from the entirety of Tillmans’s career, this generously illustrated book accompanies the artist’s first retrospective exhibition in the United States and features the potent effects of his portraits, abstractions, and structural and sculptural motifs. Essays by leading schola...

The volume examines from a comparative perspective the phenomenon of aesthetic disruption within the various arts in contemporary culture. It assumes that the political potential of contemporary art is not solely derived from presenting its audiences with openly political content, but rather from creating a space of perception and interaction using formal means: a space that makes hegemonic structures of action and communication observable, thus problematizing their self-evidence. The contributions conceptualize historical and contemporary politics of form in the media, which aim to be more than mere shock strategies, which are concerned not just with the ‘narcissistic’ exhibition of art...
Günther Förg was a genuine space artist! Already in 1978 while he was still at the academy, Günther Förg began working with colored spaces, or rather, wall paintings. He liked to tell, laughing, how obvious that seemed to him, given that during his studies he occasionally earned some extra money as a housepainter. In total, he created over 140 wall paintings, and a selection will now be on show at the Deichtorhallen. Günther Förg had been looking forward to the exhibition at the Deichtorhallen; in an interview, already several years ago, he clearly organized this important body of work into several types: »... the first were vertical, later horizontal wall bisections. Furthermore, the...
