Summary:
The murals, computer images, paper works, drawings and objects of Berlin-based Michael Hakimi are combined in site-specific installations to form intricate networks of meaning. Hakimi expands the function of his formally reduced, two-dimensional images by means of his interventions, emphasizing the semantic divide between object and sign. The artist examines the narrative potential of symbols and basic geometric shapes through the collagelike interaction of his works with readymades of the simplest materials. His installation "Large Oven" (2004), for example, realized for the Kunstverein Hamburg, and the spatial project "Roof" (2007), produced for the Kunsthalle Basel, both of which are comprehensively documented for the first time in the present publication, create walk-in scenarios reflecting social, political and urban realities. Beyond these works, this retrospective monograph presents all of Hakimi's work since 2002.

Summary:
Qu’est-ce qu’un lieu ? Nous pensons le savoir mais si l’on nous pose la question, nous ne le savons plus. Quoi de plus difficile en effet que de définir un lieu, de l’expliquer, de traduire tout ce qu’il implique, tout ce qu’il contient comme charge historique, émotionnelle, symbolique ? Ce livre se présente sous la forme originale d’une exposition dans laquelle, salle après salle, le visiteur-lecteur découvre des œuvres qui toutes analysent la notion de lieu dans le monde contemporain. L’art qui est ici exposé révèle une grande variété de démarches et de pratiques. Certains artistes explorent la ville et ses transformations afin de comprendre notre rapport à un environnement urbain de plus en plus uniforme tandis que d’autres tentent de cerner le rôle de la nature dans notre imaginaire de citadins. Certains inventent des mondes fantastiques pour mieux montrer à quel point le lieu n’est qu’une création de l’esprit tandis que d’autres nous font prendre conscience que même les lieux les plus familiers recèlent une part d’étrangeté. Certains artistes s’attachent au lieu comme mémoire d’événements historiques ou personnels, réels ou mythiques, tandis que d’autres décrivent son caractère éminemment politique. De nombreux artistes s’intéressent aux divisions territoriales et à leurs conséquences souvent dramatiques ; d’autres aux errants, aux itinérants, à ceux qui n’ont pas de prétentions sur la terre ; d’autres enfin aux « non-lieux » anonymes et à la menace qu’ils font peser sur la diversité de notre monde contemporain. Tous les artistes de ce livre décryptent la façon dont les lieux nous affectent et nous façonnent. Ce faisant, ils nous aident à comprendre le monde dans lequel nous vivons.

Summary:
Ce livre retrace une extraordinaire aventure artistique : de février à mars 2004 s’est déroulée en Laponie finlandaise, à l’initiative du galeriste new-yorkais Lance Fung, une exposition d’art d’un genre nouveau, toute en neige et en glace. Chacune des dix-sept œuvres présentées était réalisée par un duo comprenant un artiste et une agence d’architecture de renommée internationale, à qui l’on avait demandé, pour la première fois, de travailler ensemble. C’est ainsi qu’ont par exemple collaboré Anish Kapoor et Future Systems, Yoko Ono et Isozaki, Kiki Smith et Lebbeus Woods, Carsten Höller et Williams & Tsien ou encore Cai Guo-Qiang et Zaha Hadid. D’abord conçu comme une exposition d’art, “Snow Show” est rapidement devenu, par le caractère extrême et inhabituel des paramètres qui entraient en jeu, une expérience singulière. Les équipes d’architectes et d’artistes ont su élaborer des projets audacieux, allant de l’exercice d’expérimentation formelle à la prise de position artistique hautement conceptuelle.

Summary:
Thomas Schütte has frequently cast himself into the role of a maverick - remained remote from the work of his artistic mentor, distanced himself from the statements of each ephemeral Zeitgeist and increasingly contradicted his own positions - and in so doing has become one of the most influential artists of his generation. Shifting from text to image to object to book, his work juxtaposes biographical moments with contemporary events, oscillates between the aspiration to shape the public reception of architecture and monumental sculpture and the conjunctive of model-maker, and projects avant-garde ideas onto traditional forms of art. With meticulous rigor, Ulrich Loock has observed the evolution of Schütte’s output over the past 25 years. Underpinning his lucid overview is a series of intensive discussions between the author and artist on the genesis and history of particular works. This well-designed book is the most comprehensive monograph of the artist’s work to date, and provides profound insight into Schütte’s work through detailed discussions of the pieces.
