Since 1984, "Parkett "has been an important source of literature on international contemporary art. Each biannual issue is a collaboration with four artists, in which their work is explored in fully illustrated essays by leading writers and critics. In addition, each artist creates an exclusive limited edition, available to "Parkett" readers. Among the long list of artists who have collaborated with "Parkett" are John Baldessari, Sophie Calle, Fischli and Weiss, Isa Genzken, Mike Kelley, Cady Noland, Meret Oppenheim, Gerhard Richter, Cindy Sherman, Rosemarie Trockel, Andy Warhol and many more. Recent artists featured in "Parkett "include Paulina Olowska, Jimmie Durham, Damian Ortega and Helen Marten (no. 92); Yto Barrada, Monika Sosnowska, Liu Xiaodong and Nicole Eisenman (91); El Anatsui (90); Haegue Yang (89); and Paul Chan (88). Additional articles have focused on artist Daido Moriyama, the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India, and the current Berlin art scene (92); and choreographers Jerome Bel and Xavier Le Roy (91).
Known for his ephemeral, interconnected installations and monumental sculpture, Argentinian artist Adrian Villar Rojas (b. 1980) transformed The Met Roof into an immersive banquet scene for the 2017 Roof Garden Commission. This book retraces the artist's process by illustrating his conversations and discoveries at The Met, which informed an installation that negotiates the museum as both a social space and a space for the display of art. Villar Rojas merges these institutional functions by framing art within the context of a party where viewers and artworks can directly interact. The publication, an integral part of Villar Rojas's installation, covers themes as diverse as museology, history, and the activation of art-offering a meditation on how museums as artifacts represent and historicize art.
