THE ART OF PLASTIC Plastic is everywhere. It permeates our everyday
lives, is inexpensive and available worldwide. Thanks to their
literally astonishing plasticity, plastics soon began to fascinate
artists as well - both as a symptom and a symbol of mass culture.
In the brief history of the "Plastic Age" the versatile substance
transformed though: from the epitome of progress, utopian spirit,
and democratization of consumerism into a threat. Plastic World
offers a broad panorama of the artistic use of plastic and a
position towards a matter that matters to us all. Through more than
100 objects, assemblages, installations, environments and films by
some 50 international artists, this catalogue explores a spectrum
ranging from the euphoria of pop culture in the 1960s and the
futuristic influence of the space age, to the "trash" works of
Nouveau Realisme and the ecocritical positions of today. FEATURED
ARTISTS: Monira Al Qadiri, Archigram, Arman, Lynda Benglis, Cesar,
Christo, Oyvind Fahlstrom, Eva Hesse, Hans Hollein, Craig Kauffman,
Kiki Kogelnik, Gino Marotta, James Rosenquist, Pascale Marthine
Tayou and Pinar Yolda.
