Video peepshows, porno theatres, garden pavilions - with subtle insight, Tom Burr (*1963) sheds light upon what is marginalized, or not immediately recognizable. His works, which make reference to Minimal art's object sculptures, redefine them in current socio-economic and "queer" aspects. By acting as an intermediary between formal stringency and socio-political content, Tom Burr's works overcome Hal Foster's criticism that Minimal art tended to "handle the viewer as historically innocent and sexually indifferent." With comprehensive texts and illustrations, this book features an artist who belongs among those who have shaped a new form of institutionally critical art. In her seminal text o...
El artista replantea en su obra (fotografías, dibujos, esculturas e instalaciones) el vocabulario formal de las vanguardias y neo-vanguardias, en particular el minimalismo y postminimalismo, mezclando la iconografía pop, la cultura homosexual, la estética "underground", influencias literarias, cinematográficas y musicales, así como arquitectura contemporánea y diseño. Estos trabajos articulan problemáticas que enlazan con el espacio público y la arquitectura y cuestiones de sociología, psicología y política de género.
Since the late 1980s, Tom Burr has been reusing appropriation strategies in his art. Not confined to his photographic and sculptural works, they also lend momentum to many of his writings. The artist has created assemblages of personal writings and sources, differing in nature and style, which he has used as both conceptual and aesthetic materials in his oeuvre. Thus, Burr extends his art praxis into the field of writing, and vice versa; art and language cannot be dissociated from each other. At times, the text precedes and anticipates the work; at others, it emanates and results from it; in most instances, it is an integral part of it. Words constitute the work. Thirty-seven texts--works, poems, autobiographical texts, and portraits--have been compiled for the first time in this publication. Written over a period of twenty-four years, they are presented chronologically, enabling us to fully appreciate the conceptual and visual coherence and richness of Burr's writings.
