Pan Daijing: Mute
Pan Daijing devises performances and exhibitions as Gesamtkunstwerke, total works of art in which architectural intervention, light, sound, and movement interact to tell stories that go beyond language. Her haunting compositions for voice and electronic instruments combine opera and noise music. Mute-in which the artist and composer examines silence and liveness-is Pan's biggest solo exhibition to date. This monograph is published in conjunction with the exhibition and in collaboration with Tai Kwun Contemporary is the first comprehensive presentation of Pan's work in the dynamic zone straddling music and visual art. Pan Daijing, b. 1991 in Guiyang, China, lives as an artist and composer in Berlin. She is one of the winners of the prestigious Preis der Nationalgalerie 2024. Sarah Johanna Theurer, b. 1988, is a curator, whose focus is on time-based arts and techno-social entanglements. She is currently working in the Haus der Kunst in Munich.
what looks good today may not look good tomorrow
A record of a symposium on the legacy of the late Luxembourgish artist Michel Majerus. In the span of a short yet exceptionally prolific career, Luxembourgish artist Michel Majerus (1967–2002) transgressed the well-worn rules of painting to capture the influence of digital media and pop culture during the 1990s and early 2000s. Majerus’s large-scale paintings and installations—characterized by the artist’s ‘sampling’ and collaging of an eclectic repertoire of imagery and text borrowed from art history, video games, commercials, and electronic music—resonate with the rapid expansion of globalized consumer culture and digital technology. This book collects and preserves the talks...
Fujiko Nakaya
Fujiko Nakaya is one of Japan's most important contemporary artists. Participating in the 1960s performances of the New York-based collective Experiments in Arts and Technology (E.A.T.) , she became internationally renowned for her immersive fog artworks. First created for the Pepsi Pavilion at Expo '70 in Osaka they defy traditional conventions of sculpture by generating temporary, atmospheric transformations that physically engage with the public. Driven by early ecological concerns, Nakaya's groundbreaking work is based purely on water and air-elements that have particular significance in light of the climate crisis. From the artist's early paintings to her fog sculptures, single-channel ...

Rezensiv - Online-Rezensionen und Kulturelle Bildung
Online-Rezensionen zu künstlerischen Artefakten können Bildungsprozesse anstoßen. Sowohl in der produktiven Auseinandersetzung mit einem Werk als auch in der Aufbereitung dieser Erfahrung in einem rezensiven Text und für ein spezifisches Publikum liegt ein hohes Potenzial hinsichtlich der kulturellen Teilhabe und Überwindung von Bildungsbarrieren. Aber welche Prozesse, Inhalte und Kontexte spielen dabei eine Rolle? Dieser Frage widmete sich das interdisziplinäre Forschungsprojekt Rez@Kultur, dessen Ergebnisse hier erstmals umfassend dargestellt werden. Ergänzt werden die Befunde um Anschlussperspektiven und Kommentare aus Forschung und Praxis.
Paul McCarthy - Revised and Expanded Edition
Definitive monograph on America's most challenging and influential artist Los-Angeles-based artist Paul McCarthy (b.1945) creates Disneyesque installations, sculptures of animal/vegetable/human hybrids and slapstick performances in a purge of a national subconscious. The psycho-sexual desires and anxieties induced by the media and the built environment of contemporary America emerge in his collisions of plastic prosthetic limbs and condiments that stand in for bodily fluids. These works have been variously deployed: through live actions, often documented on video, and more recently in outsized figures and artificial rural environments, combined in overtly sexual ways. McCarthy's work echoes that of European artists such as Joseph Beuys or the Viennese Aktionistes, but gives 'action art' a postmodern twist. This new revised and expanded edition includes contributions by luminaries such as Kristine Stiles, Ralph Rugoff, Massimiliano Gioni and Robert Storr.
Thinking with Water
Emphasizing the role that vivid personalities – including engineers John Laing Weller and Alex Grant as well as contractors and labourers – played in the construction of the canal, Roberta Styran and Robert Taylor use archival sources, government documents, newspapers, maps, and original plans to describe a saga of technological, financial, geographical, and social obstacles met and overcome in an accomplishment akin to the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. A story of Canadian skill, courage, vision, and hardship, This Colossal Project details the twenty-year excavation of the giant channel and the creation of huge concrete locks amidst war, the Great Depression, political change, and labour unrest.
