There is more of everything - more artists, more collectors, more galleries, more art fairs, more museums, more biennials... with one exception: criteria with which the art of the moment can be understood, juged, praised and if needed damned.

There is more of everything - more artists, more collectors, more galleries, more art fairs, more museums, more biennials... with one exception: criteria with which the art of the moment can be understood, juged, praised and if needed damned. Jörg Heiser, co-editor of frieze magazine, provides a sharp summary of contemporary art since Marcel Duchamp. Using many artworks as example, the author identifies some central ideas and artistic methods that seem important for understanding what fuels art's progress into the future.

Can "exit" and "disobedience", as envisioned by Virno, be considered as options from an artistic point of view? And what would an insistence on "status" or long-term projects as invoked by Boltanski/Chiapello look like if artists were to take on this strategy? How much can one count on pictures alone, as Mitchell seems to do? And, can pictures really change the "ways of worldmaking"?

Written over the last fifteen years, in parallel to Speed’s work as an art critic, the essays forward ways of writing, which might be better equipped to trace art’s role in life, from personal intricacies to looming political questions.

Written over the last fifteen years, in parallel to Speed’s work as an art critic, the essays forward ways of writing, which might be better equipped to trace art’s role in life, from personal intricacies to looming political questions. Each piece proceeds through a specific theme, for example: the art world’s relationship to socioeconomic injustice, the beguiling return of found objects to contemporary art, the devolution of art criticism into a branch of the communications industry, and how we can better understand art’s meanings, by attending closely to the words of the people who make it.

Price:

(available in store)
Summary:
Surrealism was not only an international artistic movement, but also a political one. Its members denounced European colonial policy, opposed fascist regimes, fought for the Spanish Republic, were persecuted, went into exile, and died in war. They wrote poetry, deconstructed the language of a supposedly rational world, worked on paintings, collective drawings, took photographs, and made collages. Surrealism was associated with later emancipatory concerns not as a style, but as a method, and was taken up by the student protests of the 1960s and the Black Liberation Movement. This catalogue is published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Lenbachhaus Munich. In the form of an anthology, it presents pivotal texts and manifestoes of political Surrealism from its beginnings to current references in art and politics. It thus offers a valuable contribution to revising the still narrowly defined Surrealist canon.

Summary:
In a sweeping journey through time, bestselling author Florian Illies tells the story of Caspar David Friedrich’s paintings and their impact on subsequent generations. Many of his most beautiful paintings were burned, first in his birthplace and then in World War II; others, like the Chalk Cliffs on Rügen, emerge from the mists of history a hundred years after Friedrich's death. Illies recounts the story of how Friedrich's paintings ended up at the Russian czar's court, others among a pile of winter tires in a Mafia car repair shop, and others still in the kitchen of a German social housing apartment. Adored by Hitler and Rainer Maria Rilke, despised by Stalin and by the generation of 68, this compelling narrative dances through 250 years of history as seen through Friedrich’s art and life. As a result, the man himself becomes flesh and blood before our very eyes.
