Ausst. im Historischen und Völkerkundemuseum u.d.T.: Dresscode - das Kleid als künstlerisches Symbol
At the interface between art and dress, St. Gallen offers a great number of creative themes that have been assembled and for the first time shown in a museal collaboration. Akris, in the Textile Museum; Dresscode, in the Historical Museum; Lifestyle, in the Art Museum; and Modus in the Neue Kunst Halle - these exhibitions constitute a co-operative project on the theme of art and fashion. Schnittpunkt: Art and Dress St. Gallen is not only the collaboration of four separate museums, it is also an exclusive co-operation between the St. Gallen textile industry and the participating artists. The book includes a medley of theoretical writings (mainly in German), in the chapter Fashion / Theory.
The house of fiction
Betr. u.a. "The Floor" (1973-1992) von Dieter Roth (S. 4, 95 u. 129).
Mona Hatoum
In Mona Hatoum's breathtaking works, conflict arises from the juxtaposition of opposites--beauty and horror, desire and revulsion. Born in Beirut in 1952 to a Palestinian family, Hatoum is concerned with confrontational themes such as violence, oppression, and voyeurism, often in reference to the human body. Published to accompany a major retrospective, Mona Hatoum features the artist's major works, including well-known pieces such as Corps tranger, 1994, an endoscopic journey through the artist's body; Hot Spot, a large, cage-like globe with world contours outlined in neon; and Present Tense, which deals with the idea of shifting territories. Beautifully designed, with 250 color images, this book will prove a must for all of those interested in contemporary art, especially video art and installation.
Territorien und Grenzen in der Kunst
Die Grenzen in der Kunst: David Kaller widmet sich Territorien und Grenzen als Gegenstand in der zeitgenössischen Kunst. Er analysiert eine Auswahl an Werken, die sich auf unterschiedliche Phänomene territorialer Ordnungen beziehen. Diese reichen von Karten, Grenzen, Weltmeeren, Territorialkonflikten um Inselgruppen bis hin zur Bedeutung militärischer Drohnen für die Wahrnehmung territorialer Ordnungen. Die Perspektive richtet sich dabei immer auf zwei Ebenen: Welchen Begriff des Territoriums im Sinne eines raumpolitischen Machtgefüges führen die Werke vor? Und wie werden für den Betrachter territoriale Ordnungen in eine ästhetische Sichtbarkeit überführt?

Rolf Ricke collection
Berlin gallerist Rolf Ricke has been unleashing influential American artists like Richard Artschwager, Jo Baer, Donald Judd, Lee Lozano, Steven Parrino, Richard Serra, Jessica Stockholder and Barry Le Va on Europe since the 1960s. A 1965 trip to New York opened his eyes to the creative ferment happening there, and inspired him to import the artists themselves, to create new work for his Berlin-based gallery, rather than simply borrowing existing pieces. It was a savvy move. Through the decades, he formed relationships with these artists and acquired a stellar collection of works. The Rolf Ricke Collection, which is being exhibited at three major European museums in 2008, represents four decades of work by predominantly American artists. This accompanying publication is a trove, showcasing Ricke's 150-piece collection and putting it in context with an illustrated timeline of 40 of the richest years of art history.
