Harald Szeemann is associated with some of the most important
artistic developments of the postwar era. A passionate advocate of
avant-garde movements like conceptualism and post minimalism, he
collaborated with artists such as Joseph Beuys, Bruce Nauman,
Richard Serra, and Cy Twombly, developing new ways of presenting
art that reflected his sweeping vision of contemporary culture.
Szeemann once stated that his goal as an exhibition maker was to
create a "Museum of Obsessions." This richly illustrated volume is
a virtual collection catalogue for that imaginary institution,
tracing the evolution of his curatorial method through the
materials he collected and produced while researching and
organising his exhibitions, including letters, drawings, personal
datebooks, installation plans, artists' books, posters,
photographs, and handwritten notes. This book documents all phases
of Szeemann's career, from his early stint as director of the
Kunsthalle Bern, where he organized the seminal Live in Your Head:
When Attitudes Become Form (1969); to documenta 5 (1972) and the
intensely personal exhibition he staged in his own apartment using
the belongings of his hairdresser grandfather (1974); to his
reinvention as a freelance curator who realised projects on
wide-ranging themes until his death in 2005. The book contains
essays exploring Szeemann's curatorial approach as well as
interviews with collaborators. Its more than 350 illustrations
include previously unpublished installation photographs and
exhibition documents as well as many other materials from the
curator's archive.
