Austrian Heimo Zobernig's work intervenes, rearranges,
recontextualizes, and down-right makes fun of the architecture of
museum/gallery spaces so as to demystify its illusory potential and
reinscribe it with self-referentiality. Zobernig is among several
significant contemporary artists such as Michael Asher, General
Idea, and Daniel Buren who have made it their mission to critique
sites of modern art. In Zobernig's 1996 installation, the gallery
walls from the Society's preceding exhibition were laid flat on the
floor-a neat-handed figure/ground reversal turning support into
sculpture. In another provocative turn, Zobernig brought the
outside in to this altered gallery space via video - he had himself
filmed cavorting arond the Renaissance Society hallway naked in
front of walls that were painted video back-drop blue; this image
was then super-imposed on footage shot while driving around
Chicago. This informative and engaging book, designed by Zobernig,
serves as a valuable pictorial document, and an insightful critical
analysis of this important work. Walker's essay speaks to the
challenge Zobernig's art poses for art history and the implications
of that challenge for the future of art. In addition, the catalog
features a transcript of the panel discussion: Planned
Obsolescence, in which a group of critics, curators and
architectural historians gathered to discuss how Zobernig's
practice differs from, or further informs, practices that have made
an art out of calling for an end of art.
