Book Description
Erwin Wurm has worked for over 25 years on a multifaceted oeuvre that can be interpreted as a 'continuous research on the concept of sculpture'. For Wurm, who is now among the most successful contemporary artists, everything can become a sculpture: actions, written or drawn instructions and even thoughts. The artist examines the threshold between the diverse layers of actions, performances and sculpture, and translates into the contemporary media world. He has increasingly made videos in recent years that are being published and analysed for the first time in this book. Wurm became known to a wider audience through his One minute sculptures and his Fat sculptures. 'Humour is a weapon', he once said. Erwin Wurm knows how to make use of it peaceably, but also very pointedly. Published on the occasion of the touring exhibition at Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus Munich from September 2009, then on to Kunstmuseum Bonn, Essl Museum, Klosterneuburg Vienna. English text.

Languages : de
Pages : 215
Book Description
"In the series of the Performative Sculptures, Wurm gets his hands dirty, attacking models or raw blocks of clay and deforming them by either physical exertion alone or other external means.Afterwards, the artist often casts the abused models in either bronze, aluminium, iron, or polyester resin, and then paints them either in colour or with an applied patina.Tension arises in the dialogue between the original form of objects and the traces left by the performative interventions, which turn the body into the material and the medium of action.In the early 1990s, Erwin Wurm began developing a completely new form of artistic expression with his Performative Sculptures, which will be comprehensively presented at the 21er Haus for the first time.A majority of the 54 performative sculptures and statues have been developed especially for this exhibition.The exhibition catalogue provides comprehensive insight into Erwin Wurm's cycle of works and analyses Wurm's works against the background of his artistic development.English and German text.Accompanies the exhibition, Erwin Wurm: Performative Sculptures at 21er Haus, Vienna, Austria (2 June - 10 September 2017)."

Pages : 0
Book Description
This book presents the most recent and hugely popular work of the Viennese artist Erwin Wurm, who is known for his quirky and compelling art. Erwin Wurm's works occupy a special place in contemporary art. Since the late 1980s he has explored the boundaries between sculpture, object, and performance. His works have great visual power, are readily accessible, yet raise existential questions. The One Minute Sculptures, produced since 1995, invite the viewer's collaboration. With everyday objects like tennis balls, chairs, or cleaning-agent bottles one is meant to assume unusual, bizarre poses and, if following the artist's instructions precisely, become, for a moment, a living sculpture. The artist's instructions take the form of delicate and humorous drawings that are published for the first time in this book. With illustrations of Wurm's newest sculptural works, the most recent developments in his oeuvre are also highlighted. The roughly 100 large-format illustrations are supplemented by three essays dealing with the most important issues in Erwin Wurm's work.

The Art of Participation
Author: Rudolf Frieling
Publisher: Thames and Hudson
ISBN:
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
The first fully illustrated survey of participatory art and its key practitioners, published in association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. This new survey covers the rich and varied history of participatory art, from early happenings and performances to current practices that demand audience interaction. As the hallmarks of Web 2.0--browsing, sharing, collecting, producing--increasingly permeate every aspect of society, this timely project reveals the ways in which artists and viewers have approached the creation of open works of art. The featured artists include Marina Abramovic and Ulay, Vito Acconci, Joseph Beuys, John Cage, Janet Cardiff, Lygia Clark, Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz, Dan Graham, Hans Haacke, Allan Kaprow, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Antoni Muntadas, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, and Erwin Wurm. Original essays by Rudolf Frieling, Boris Groys, Robert Atkins, and Lev Manovich identify seminal moments in participatory practice from the 1950s to the present day. A rich array of plates introduce work by all the artists in the accompanying exhibition, with reproductions of significant projects by other major figures--from Helio Oiticica, Joan Jonas, and Gordon Matta-Clark to Rirkrit Tiravanija and SUPERFLEX--rounding out the survey.

Eyes as Big as Plates
Author: Karoline Hjorth
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788232801497
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Eyes as Big as Plates is an ongoing collaborative photography and sculpture project by Norwegian-Finnish artist duo Karoline Hjorth and Riitta Ikonen (both born 1980). Initially a play on characters from Nordic folklore, the series has evolved into a search for the human connection to nature. Hjorth & Ikonen work together throughout the process with their complementary skills (Karoline is the photographer in the duo, while Riitta works mainly with the creation of the wearable sculptures). Since 2011 the duo has collaborated with retired farmers, fishermen, zoologists, plumbers, opera singers, housewives, artists and academics. Each character inhabits the landscape in a wearable sculpture made from natural materials. The book features portraits, field notes, essays and behind-the-scenes stories from many of the project's 60 shoots. With international press coverage in the Huffington Post, the BBC, TIME LightBox, Life and elsewhere, plus a highly successful Kickstarter campaign attracting a large American audience, the series has developed into a project with universal appeal.

Persevere and Resist

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
This welcome catalogue presents exciting new scholarship on the work of Mexican and American artist Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012). Accompanying an exhibition at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, Persevere and Resist: The Strong Black Women of Elizabeth Catlett reconsiders her works through the lens of contemporary psychology and sociology.0Catlett was one of the most important visual chroniclers of the African American experience in the 20th century. In 1946, she was awarded the prestigious Rosenwald Fund Fellowship to travel to Mexico. Her early experiments with printmaking with the Taller de Grafica Popular resulted in a series of 15 prints titled, The Black Woman(1946-1947) of which the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art is one of only three known American arts institutions to own a full series. In addition to her print and drawing practice, Catlett was also an accomplished sculptor working in stone, wood, and clay in her lengthy career, which spanned over six decades.0Taking The Black Woman series as a point of departure, Heather Nickels will explore Catlett's oeuvre as illustrative of such contemporary phenomena as the "StrongBlackWoman" (SBW) trope, Afrofemcentrism, and misogynoir. Nickels will off er an alternative reading of the stances, postures, and expressions of Catlett's women, considering the impact of intergenerational trauma, with its roots in chattel slavery, on0African Americans. After examining the SBW trope and its paradoxes, she poses the question "What now?" and considers possible remedies through an examination of the ways in which Black artists have mined pain and sorrow to inform and inspire literary, performing and visual production, creating Black joy in spaces made by and for Black women.00Exhibition: Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, Tennessee, USA (05.06.? 29.08.2021).
