Dear Professor: A Chronicle of Absences
Dear Professor: A Chronicle of Absences is a collection of over two hundred often involuntarily comical emails in which students excuse themselves for missing class. The result is a satirical yet unexpectedly sympathetic collective portrait of modern-day academia where both students and teachers feel pressured to comply with the impositions of hyper-connectivity.
The Autobiography of Daniel J. Isengart
Using Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas as a template, Filip Noterdaeme's The Autobiography of Daniel J. Isengart tells the story of two eccentric expats who find love in New York City and carve out a delirious, dadaesque life on the margins of the contemporary art world.
The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas
The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas was written in 1933 by Gertrude Stein in the guise of an autobiography authored by Alice B. Toklas, who was her lover. It is a fascinating insight into the art scene in Paris as the couple were friends with Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. They begin the war years in England but return to France, volunteering for the American Fund for the French Wounded, driving around France, helping the wounded and homeless. After the war Gertrude has an argument with T. S. Eliot after he finds one of her writings inappropriate. They become friends with Sherwood Anderson and Ernest Hemingway. It was written to make money and was indeed a commercial success. However, it attracted criticism, especially from those who appeared in the book and didn't like the way they were depicted.
Museum Legs
Why do people get bored and tired in art museums and why does that matter? Author Whitaker writes in this humorous and incisive collection of essays, museums matter for reasons that have less to do with art as we know it and more to do with business, politics, and the age-old question of how to live--back cover.
Postscript
Postscript is the first collection of writings on the subject of conceptual writing by a diverse field of scholars in the realms of art, literature, media, as well as the artists themselves
Kitsch
Kitsch: the mere word evokes mental images of cutesy collectibles, treacly trinkets, sweetly sentimental scenes, thematically trite tabletop tchotchkes, or perhaps anemic appropriations of canonical works of art. Frequently dismissed as facile, lowbrow, or one-off, throwaway aesthetics, kitsch elicits responses that range from the sardonic smirk laced with derision to the grin glimmering with the indulgence in a “guilty” pleasure. Kitsch, however, is surprisingly mobile and complex, as evidenced by its recent renewal as “kitschy cool.” This ambiguity not only allows it to gesture towards a disparate array of artifacts and ideations, but also to be pushed and pulled in various applica...
Die Autobiografie von Daniel J. Isengart
Mit 23 Jahren schmeisst Daniel Isengart sein Studium an der Münchner Kunstakademie und zieht nach New York. Dort nimmt er Tanzunterricht, arbeitet im Partyservice und tritt als Varietésänger auf. Nach einem seiner Auftritte begegnet er dem belgischen Konzeptkünstler Filip Noterdaeme. Gewappnet mit der Unbeirrbarkeit radikaler Individualisten rüsten sich die beiden, gemeinsam dem täglichen Überlebenskampf in der Megastadt ihre künstlerischen Projekte entgegenzusetzen. Filips Hauptwerk ist das "Homeless Museum of Art", das die kommerziellen Interessen der New Yorker Kunstmuseen auf die Schippe nimmt. Daniel macht sich als Chansonnier einen Namen und etabliert sich nebenbei als Privatko...
