Democratic Anarchy
A dramatic and necessary rethinking of the meaning of Democracy Democratic Anarchy grapples with an uncomfortable but obvious truth inimical to democracy: both aesthetics and politics depend on the structuring antagonism of inclusion and exclusion. Yet in Democratic Anarchy, Matthew Scully asks, how can “the people” be represented in a way that acknowledges what remains unrepresentable? What would it mean to face up to the constitutive exclusions that haunt U.S. democracy and its anxious fantasies of equality? Synthesizing a broad range of theoretical traditions and interlocutors—including Lacan, Rancière, Edelman, and Hartman—Democratic Anarchy polemically declares that there has n...
Encounters in Video Art in Latin America
With insightful essays and interviews, this volume examines how artists have experimented with the medium of video across different regions of Latin America since the 1960s. The emergence of video art in Latin America is marked by multiple points of development, across more than a dozen artistic centers, over a period of more than twenty-five years. When it was first introduced during the 1960s, video was seen as empowering: the portability of early equipment and the possibility of instant playback allowed artists to challenge and at times subvert the mainstream media. Video art in Latin America was—and still is—closely related to the desire for social change. Themes related to gender, e...
Carol Rama
This catalogue includes works from Rama's early 1930s watercolor drawings, which anticipated debates on sexuality, gender and representation, to her "mad cow" series of the late 1990s and early 2000s, which continues her ongoing representation of forms of contagion and madness. Bringing together this unique body of work, the catalogue highlights Rama as one of the most important voices of the twentieth century and draws attention to the relevance of her work.00Exhibition: New Museum, New York, United States (26.04.-10.09.2017).
Double-Edged Comforts
Peeking into the home through the eyes of artists and image-makers, this book unveils the untold story of Italian domestic experiences from the 1940s to the 1970s. Torn between the trauma of World War II and the frenzied optimism of the postwar decades, and haunted by the echoes of fascism, the domestic realm embodied contrasting and often contradictory meanings: care and violence, oppression and emotional fulfillment, nourishment and privation. Silvia Bottinelli casts a fresh light on domestic experiences that are easily overlooked and taken for granted, finding new expressions of home - as an idea, an emotion, a space, and a set of habits - in a variety of cultural and artistic movements, ...
Nicole Eisenman
"This show marks the first New York museum survey exhibition of Eisenman's work and provides an in-depth look at the symbolic nature of the artist's most striking depictions of individuals and groups--from intimate portraits to more complex narrative scenes. One of the most important painters of her generation, Eisenman (b. 1965, Verdun, France) has developed a distinct figurative language that combines the imaginative with the lucid, the absurd with the banal, and the stereotypical with the countercultural and queer. "Nicole Eisenman: Al-ugh-ories" highlights how allegory permeates her oeuvre and how she fluidly ties the fictional to the autobiographical and the past to the present. From th...
CAPITALIZING CAPITAL
Die drei in diesem Band versammelten Texte weisen zahlreiche Schnittmengen auf. Eine davon ist der Ort der ‚Handlung‘: thematisiert werden historische und zeitgenössische US-amerikanische Besonderheiten der Aneignung europäischer Kunst, der Kunstförderung sowie der Sammel- und Ausstellungspraxis. Des Weiteren bildet das Verhältnis von Kunst und Kapital einen roten Faden entlang der Essays. Die Tätigkeit des Sammelns als Kapitalsicherung und ästhetische Vision ist ebenfalls ein durchgehender Schwerpunkt - genauso wie die kritische Diskussion des Verhältnisses, das die verschiedenen Player (Künstler, Kuratoren, Galeristen, aber auch die Öffentlichkeit) im Feld der Kunst mit der Institution bzw. mit der institutionellen Praxis verbindet. Die drei Abhandlungen rücken diese Themen aus verschiedenen Perspektiven mit unterschiedlicher Tiefenschärfe in das Lese- und Blickfeld.
Surround Audience
"This exhibition and book mark the third edition of the Triennial, a signature initiative of the New Museum devoted to early-career artists from around the world. It provides an important platform for an emergent generation of artists that is shaping the discourse of contemporary art. The Triennial's predictive, rather than retrospective, model embodies the institution's thirty-seven-year commitment to exploring the future of culture through the art of today"--Page 7.
