HOPE
What is there to hope for today? How does hope manifest itself at a time when a linear understanding of the future, of growing prosperity, security, and progress is canceled? How can hope be thought beyond market-driven forms of worldbuilding? Is there a third approach in which hope as a critical practice opens a path to alternative futures? After Techno Globalization Pandemic and Kingdom of the Ill, HOPE is the third chapter of the long-term project TECHNO HUMANITIES, exploring the urgent questions of what it means to be a global citizen in the present-day dependency between ecology, technology, and economy. HOPE brings together a wide range of artistic positions from different generations that see the end of future as the start of new beginnings and an incentive to validate more circular and re-generative practices as a source of wonder and collective movement.
Body Language
"Examining this innovative collaboration as a turning point in the history of photography and in queer American culture. Body Language is the first in-depth study of the extraordinary interplay between photographer George Platt Lynes and PaJaMa (painters Paul Cadmus, Jared French, and Margaret Hoening French). These enigmatic photographs--issuing from intimate private networks and queer sexualities--helped ground friendships and also found their way into the public worlds of fashion and fame. Nick Mauss and Angela Miller offer timely readings of how practices of staging, collaboration, and psychological enactment through the body arced across the boundaries of art and life, private and public worlds, anticipating contemporary social media. For these audacious artists, the camera was used not to capture, but to actively perform. Renouncing photography's conventional role as mirror of the real, Lynes and PaJaMa energized forms of worldmaking via a new social framing of the self"--
Benjamin on Fashion
Benjamin on Fashion reconstructs and redefines Walter Benjamin's complex, fragmentary and yet influential fashion theory that he developed in the Arcades Project (1927-1940) and beyond, while situating it within the environment from which it emerged - 1930s Parisian couture. In this insightful new book, Philipp Ekardt brings Benjamin into discussion with a number of important, but frequently overlooked sources. Amongst many others, these include the German fashion critic Helen Grund, who introduced him to the contemporary fashion scene; Georg Simmel's fashion sociology; Henri Focillon's morphological art history; designs by Elsa Schiaparelli and Madeleine Vionnet; films by L'Herbier and othe...
Kingdom of the Ill
The COVID-19 pandemic has made the fragility of the human body painfully perceptible. Through essays and contributions of international artists and activists, this anthology poses the question of how and by whom a body is defined as healthy or sick. At the intersection of ecology, economics and technology, Kingdom of the Ill investigates a shift in the relationship between health and illness, contamination and purity, care and neglect. How are climate change and pollution affecting our well-being? Given the collective state of exhaustion, looming economic hardships, public healthcare cuts, and the dissolution of the boundaries between online and offline, how can one actually stay healthy and well? Following Techno Globalization Pandemic, Kingdom of the Ill – curated by Sara Cluggish and Pavel S. Pyś – is the second chapter in the long-term research program TECHNO HUMANITIES launched in 2021 by Museion Bozen's Director Bart van der Heide.
Vernissage im privaten Wohnraum
Simone Larisch liefert die erste zusammenfassende Darstellung von Ausstellungsformaten, die temporär zeitgenössische bildende Kunst im privaten Wohnraum zeigen. Analysiert werden neben den Konzepten und Strategien der privaten Kunstvermittler auch Motive von Gastgebern, Ausstellungsmachern, Künstlern und Besuchern. Die Untersuchung aktueller Fallbeispiele und der Vorgängerprojekte heutiger Ausstellungen im privaten Wohnraum, also der „Urväter“, „Prototypen“ und „nahen Verwandten“, führt im Ergebnis nicht nur zu Erkenntnissen über diese Ausstellungssparte, sondern auch zu vielen erstaunlichen Kunstgeschichten.
L'Identité humaine en dialogue
Depuis le milieu du xxe siècle, l’identité a envahi les sciences humaines et sociales – du discours public et journalistique, elle est devenue un mot de passe de notre époque dont l’extension toujours accrue dissimule mal le vague, et parfois l’absence complète de signification. Claude Romano développe un examen logique et philosophique de cette notion qui en exhume l’arrière-plan historique, notamment celui des égologies modernes, et propose une réorientation complète de l’enquête. L’identité, qui possède un enjeu véritable dans nos vies, n’est pas celle qui a servi de fil conducteur à la philosophie récente, celle qui fournit une réponse à la question de lâ...

Haegue Yang
Haegue Yang is renowned for her multifaceted works that vary in form from collage to kinetic sculpture, perceptively evoking historical and contemporary narratives of migration, displacement, and cross-cultural translation. Using a language of abstraction, Yang transforms ordinary and domestic materials, such as venetian blinds, light bulbs, drying racks, yarn, and bells, into deeply allegorical, meticulously constructed installations and sculptures that dissociate these materials from their original contexts. The artist's installations become immersive environments that provoke the senses with a diversity of scents, sounds, and textures. Featuring essays contextualising Yang's artistic career, this book fully illustrates the scope of Art Gallery of Ontario's groundbreaking exhibition and generates new understandings of Yang's transformative contributions to the field of contemporary art. Exhibition: Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada (01.10.2020 - 05.04.2021).
