The reciprocal relationships between Jewish self-characterizations
and outside attributions of Jewishness remain of key importance for
understanding the history of German-Jewish relations. At the heart
of this volume are fictional models of Jewishness, distinctions
between different Jewish groups, as well as an examination of how
internal Jewish discourse responded to anti-Semitic attributions."
Thomas Hirschhorn is a leading installation artist whose work is
owned and exhibited by modern art museums throughout Europe and the
United States. Known for his compelling, often site-specific and
activated environments which tackle issues of critical theory,
global politics, and consumerism, his work initially engages the
viewer through sheer superabundance. Combining found images and
texts, bound up in handcrafted constructions of cardboard, foil,
and packing tape, they correlate to the intellectual scavenging and
sensory overload that characterize our own grapplings with the
excess of information in daily life. Christina Braun is the first
to compile and systematically analyze the extensive source material
on this artist's theoretical principles. Now translated into
English, her study sheds light on the complicated yet constitutive
relations between Hirschhorn's work and theory, providing a major
contribution to the study of contemporary art.
