Summary:
Two materials co-exist at the heart of Dani Jakobs work: salt and silk. The artist paints and devises installations. The vibrantly coloured, abstractly geometric silk paintings that look like an "abstract model of the cranium" contrast with the amorphous salt pictures created using the chemical process of salt crystalisation and that are reminiscent of aerial(...)

Summary:
Two materials co-exist at the heart of Dani Jakobs work: salt and silk. The artist paints and devises installations. The vibrantly coloured, abstractly geometric silk paintings that look like an "abstract model of the cranium" contrast with the amorphous salt pictures created using the chemical process of salt crystalisation and that are reminiscent of aerial photographs of distand lands and coastlines. She interlinks both of these opposites in spatially expansive floor paintings. Her "geometrical eye" places a landscape into a space, is derived from a lake of salt without perspective, an anti-space, a non-place, interlinks then, "draws lines, noting trajectories of movement", rhythmatises them arriving at a symmetry and creates a utopian space. "A land" that defies unequivocal decipherment. The artist book documents Dani Jakobs most recent works from 2005 to 2007 in 30 images with large illustrations and detailed views. These compositions enter into a conversation with a lyrical text by Klaus Theweleit, which was especially written for this book and runs all the way through it.

The Swiss collaborators Fischli & Weiss have said of this early series of color and black-and-white photographs, "Balance is most beautiful just shortly before it collapses." Indeed their tense arrangements of household miscellany often look on the verge of falling, or are caught in the process. The only texts included with them are associative titles, including Natural(...)

Summary:
The Swiss collaborators Fischli & Weiss have said of this early series of color and black-and-white photographs, "Balance is most beautiful just shortly before it collapses." Indeed their tense arrangements of household miscellany often look on the verge of falling, or are caught in the process. The only texts included with them are associative titles, including Natural Grace, (a spatula on a plate on a wine bottle on an apple on a cup), The Fart (chairs on Coke bottles and aerosol cans), and Invisible Power, (showing one end of a paper construction held aloft by the breeze from a small fan). Many of the constructions appear under several titles, in several styles: Completion, when shot in grainy, starkly lit black-and-white, becomes Honor, Courage, Confidence, and in close-up, Can I , May I, Do Anything? On the page, these often elaborate and expansive objects acquire an incidental quality that makes them both more real and more transient. Ultimately, the only evidence of their existence is these images. While a small selection of these works appeared in the artist's book Quiet Afternoon, most have never before been published in any form.

Summary:
In paintings, murals, and book illustrations, Aaron Douglas (1899–1979) produced the most powerful visual legacy of the Harlem Renaissance, prompting the philosopher and writer Alain Locke to dub him the “father of Black American art.” Presenting more than ninety illustrations of Douglas’s works and the commentary of leading critics and historians, this book focuses on the artist’s career from the 1920s through the 1940s in relation to American modernism. Its authors argue that Douglas’s bold work opened doors for African American artists in Harlem and beyond, and that it invited a dialogue with modernism that put African American life, labor, and freedom, along with African traditions and motifs, at its center. New information emerges from these pages, reflecting the rich interchange between the visual arts, music, dance, literature, and politics that shaped Douglas’s work and also defined the Harlem Renaissance.

Il révèle les correspondances multiples qui existent entre l'œuvre phare que constituent Les Fleurs du Mal et la peinture du XIXe siècle finissant. Cette complicité des arts souligne autant les préoccupations baudelairiennes que celles d'artistes non moins visionnaires: la volonté d'exprimer par des images fortes les aspirations et les désillusions d'une génération dont la sensibilité s'exacerbe à la recherche de la vérité.

Summary:

His immersive installations explore the intersection of nature and artifice, transforming ordinary spaces into sites of wonder and spectacle. From kaleidoscopes to waterfalls to mirrored passageways, the projects invite the viewer's active participation while posing provocative questions about the workings of human perception.

Summary:
Takashi Murakami is one of contemporary art’s most innovative and important figures. Drawing from street culture, high art, and traditional Japanese painting, Murakami takes the contemporary art trend of mixing high and low to an unprecedented level (critics call him the new Warhol), producing original paintings and sculptures as well as mass-produced consumer objects such as toys, books, and most famously, a line of handbags for Louis Vuitton. A committed supporter and spokesperson for Japanese artists and a powerful commentator on postwar culture and society, Murakami has organized influential exhibitions of Japanese art as well as a biannual art fair in Tokyo. Murakami has positioned himself as a new type of artist for the twenty-first century: a hybrid of creator, entrepreneur, and cultural ambassador.In conjunction with the first major retrospective of his work, Murakami traces Murakami’s global impact socially, culturally, and art historically. Essays focus on Murakami’s early works, which were based on a social critique of Japan’s rampant consumerism; the development of his characters; his work with anime, fantasy; otaku culture; and his engagement with global pop culture. Representing output from original works of art to mass-produced multiples, the catalogue also considers the implications of Murakami’s working methods within the tradition of the Western avant-garde.
