Seth Price
This catalogue is the first comprehensive publication on Price's varied oeuvre. It offers an unflinching portrait of contemporary, mediated Western life. The exhibition at Stedelijk Museum is the first survey of the American artist's work.A key theme in Price's work is the self under technological pressure. This is often expressed in terms of the 'skins' of surface, packaging, and wrapping: a photographic study of a person's skin obtained through the technologies Google employs for mapping; a vacuum-formed plastic relief presenting a body part stranded in plastic; a large wall sculpture depicting the negative space between two people engaged in intimate action, greatly enlarged from a tiny i...
Museum Highlights
Essays, criticism, and performance scripts written between 1985 and 2003 by an artist whose artistic practice investigates and reveals the social structures of art and its institutions. Andrea Fraser's work, writes Pierre Bourdieu in his foreword to Museum Highlights, is able to "trigger a social mechanism, a sort of machine infernale whose operation causes the hidden truth of social reality to reveal itself." It often does this by incorporating and inhabiting the social role it sets out to critique—as in a performance piece in which she leads a tour as a museum docent and describes the men's room in the same elevated language that she uses to describe seventeenth-century Dutch paintings. ...
We Represent Ourselves to the World
This distinctive book centers around an installation by Stephen Prina as a frame within which to explore themes vital to its making, including artistic production, site-specificity, curatorial practice, photography, architecture, and institutional critique. This multi-layered work is reevaluated by the curator, Jenelle Porter. She begins with Prina's single-image documentation of the 16-year exhibition schedule at the Heitzler Gallery (1975-1991). This final set of 163 photographs was then installed in the Heitzler Gallery, along with assorted elements as part of Prina's complete exhibition. Essays by James Meyer and Wilhelm Schurmann.
