The Josephine Meckseper Catalogue No. 2
Only appearances remain: why not raise them to the level of a style? --E. M. Cioran This fully illustrated, artist-designed catalogue features the most recent work of New York-based Josephine Meckseper, including her work for the 2006 Whitney Biennial. The artist suggests that our desire for luxury goods and fashion is induced by media-driven ruling regimes, and comes to the conclusion that partisan politics are just another status symbol. Radicalism quickly morphs into radical chic, which is just one more object to be fetishized and sold in a museum-gallery-boutique that samples utopian dreams ranging from the communists to the hippies. "In Meckseper's work, politics becomes a style, and commitment an object to be displayed in a chic display cabinet, suggestive of those in museums and ethnographic societies," write the curators of the 2005 Lyon Biennale. "Meckseper explores the questionable links between images of political news, the fashion industry and advertising." Contributors Sylvère Lotringer

Josephine Meckseper - 10 Minutes After
For the last two decades, Josephine Meckseper?s practice has interrogated politics, capitalism, and art history through the juxtapositions of images and objects. Drawn from the visual and material cultures of protest and political activism, advertising, cinema, and early twentieth-century display architecture, Meckseper?s works are visually confrontational yet subtle, relying on strategies of infiltration rather than explicit positions. 00The publication features installation views from Meckseper?s recent exhibition at Timothy Taylor, a gallery of ?psychoimages,? and two newly commissioned texts. Independent curator and writer Piper Marshall considers ideas of détournement, the readymade, and base materialism in Meckseper?s oeuvre, while writer and editor Domenick Ammirati explores the significance of painting and text within Meckseper?s installations.
The Josephine Meckseper Catalogue
"Politics and aesthetics morph seamlessly in a world where politics confuses itself with representation, where all attention is swallowed in the communication of a message rather than in the intensity of an event.... In Meckseper's gallery installation, where fashion images share space with protest documentation, where an idea of relational space rubs shoulders with an idea of lifestyle or boutique design, where an idea of the social morphs into an idea of the commodity relation, many of the elements on display also double as mechanisms of display: shelves, rugs, windows, magazine covers, and wallpaper are the products here. Here, display displays itself. Covers and wrappings conceal nothing...

99[ Or Less
A major group exhibition of ninety nine artists based in the United States, '99 Cents or Less' addresses Detroit?s ongoing economic crisis and its 2013 bankruptcy?the largest municipal bankruptcy filing in the history of the United States. Four years after a federal judge approved Detroit?s bankruptcy-exit plan the city?s financial present and future are still in flux. This exhibition is a reflection on the realities of a city that was once one of the country?s wealthiest and most diverse. Speaking to Detroit?s place as a global industrial powerhouse by using materials from 99 cent stores, '99 Cents or Less' hopes to make the connection between past, present, and future centers of production, and point to ways that artists can address how mass production has changed and will continue to change and evolve. As the consumer?s relationship with their everyday items has changed, so has the application and approach that artists take when incorporating these items in their work. 00Exhibition: Museum of Contemporary Art, Detroit, USA (19.05. - 06.08.2017).
Beverly Buchanan
An illustrated examination of Beverly Buchanan's 1981 environmental sculpture, which exists in an ongoing state of ruination. Beverly Buchanan's Marsh Ruins (1981) are large, solid mounds of cement and shell-based tabby concrete, yet their presence has always been elusive. Hiding in the tall grasses and brackish waters of the Marshes of Glynn, on the southeast coast of Georgia, the Marsh Ruins merge with their surroundings as they enact a curious and delicate tension between destruction and endurance. This volume offers an illustrated examination of Buchanan's environmental sculpture, which exists in an ongoing state of ruination.
