What do we learn by making art? What do we discover by discussing
our art with other people? These are the questions at the heart of
No New Kind of Duck, which documents an exchange between Jan
Verwoert and artists, critics, and other researchers at the
Graduate School at the Berlin University of the Arts, including
artists Alex Martinis Roe, Jeremiah Day, Azin Feizabadi, Lizza May
David, and Ralf Baecker and composers Nuria Nunez Hierro and Bjorn
Erlach. Creating art and coining the terms to explain and define
one's artistic practice, the contributors find, are two closely
related yet distinct practices. The book begins with an
introduction by Verwoert that discusses the politics of art as a
form of knowledge production. Verwoert's introduction is followed
by contributions that turn the focus on the stakes of an art
practice today. The book also presents a careful selection of art,
in which each piece is presented without accompanying explanations
or justification, highlighting the possibilities for artists to
coin their own terms to describe the concerns of their practice.
Beautifully designed by artist Nienke Terpsma, the book will be an
equally welcome companion for established or aspiring artists.
