This text looks at the art of German painter and installation artist Franz Ackermann.
'The Triumph of Painting' is the definitive book on contemporary European painting and its influence on a new generation of young artists.
New painting and drawing is the subject ofRemote Viewing, which accompanies an exhibition at the Whitney Museum. The book brings together eight artists, some well known, others emerging, all of whom create new worlds that exist somewhere between abstraction and representation. Each of the featured artists-Franz Ackermann, Steve DiBenedetto, Carroll Dunham, Ati Maier, Julie Mehretu, Matthew Ritchie, Alexander Ross, and Terry Winters -is part of a revitalization that has been seen in recent years in contemporary painting and drawing. Their work grapples with the overwhelming abundance of information now present in our lives, information that is historical, scientific, technological, geographical, visual, literary, hallucinogenic, mass-media, or otherwise, and shares a fascination with assertive color, invented form, and the construction of dynamic spaces. The book includes color illustrations of works in the exhibition as well as studio photography of each artist.
Franz Ackermann is one of the most important and admired contemporary artists. Ackermann travels all over the world; soaking up influences from South America to East Asia. The impressions gained in these places are captured in watercolours, which serve as the foundation for paintings that he describes as 'mental maps' - large-format paintings with wide, sweeping and detailed arrangements. Stadtgalerie Altötting presents works by Ackermann that are the result of a journey made on a regular bus route on the Panamericana, along the west coast of South America, south of Lima, the capital of Peru: These works merge to form a large installation and remind us of something important: that home is the counterpart to the global. Published to accompany the exhibition Franz Ackermann. LIMA, May - July 2009, Stadtgalerie Altötting. English and German text.

Anthropology and Art Practice takes an innovative look at new experimental work informed by the newly-reconfigured relationship between the arts and anthropology. This practice-based and visual work can be characterised as 'art-ethnography'. In engaging with the concerns of both fields, this cutting-edge study tackles current issues such as the role of the artist in collaborative work, and the political uses of documentary. The book focuses on key works from artists and anthropologists that engage with 'art-ethnography' and investigates the processes and strategies behind their creation and exhibition.The book highlights the work of a new generation of practitioners in this hybrid field, such as Anthony Luvera, Kathryn Ramey, Brad Butler and Karen Mirza, Kate Hennessy and Jennifer Deger, who work in a diverse range of media - including film, photography, sound and performance. Anthropology and Art Practice suggests a series of radical challenges to assumptions made on both sides of the art/anthropology divide and is intended to inspire further dialogue and provide essential reading for a wide range of students and practitioners.
