In the words of Peter Schjeldahl, writing in The New Yorker about
the exhibition No Problem: Cologne/New York 1984-1989 at David
Zwirner in New York, "the show's cast of artists amounts to a
retrospective shopping list of what would matter and endure in art
of the era." With an eye to canonizing that moment, this seminal
publication examines the latter half of the 1980s through the lens
of international art scenes that were based in Cologne-arguably the
European center of the contemporary art world at that time-and New
York. While a number of established Cologne-based gallerists,
including Karsten Greve, Paul Maenz, Rolf Ricke, Michael Werner,
and Rudolf Zwirner, had already begun shaping the European
reception of American art in the previous decade, the 1980s marked
a period during which art being produced in and around Cologne
gained international attention. A burgeoning gallery scene
supported the emerging work of artists based in the region, with
gallerists such as Gisela Capitain, Rafael Jablonka, Max Hetzler,
and Monika Spruth showing artists such as Walter Dahn, Martin
Kippenberger, Albert Oehlen, Rosemarie Trockel, and others. The
works of these German artists were exhibited along with the latest
contemporary art from the US by artists like Robert Gober, Jeff
Koons, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, and Christopher Wool.
Conversely, the works of German artists were presented in New York,
with breakout exhibitions at galleries such as Barbara Gladstone,
Metro Pictures, Luhring, Augustine & Hodes, and other
significant venues. Important museum exhibitions that explored work
being produced and exhibited on both sides of the Atlantic also set
the tone for this ongoing dialogue, among them Europa / Amerika
(Museum Ludwig, Cologne, 1986) and A Distanced View: One Aspect of
Recent Art from Belgium, France, Germany, and Holland (New Museum,
New York, 1986). Big, bold, and vibrant, this Pentagram-designed
publication revives the conversation, reproducing in full color
over one hundred immensely varied artworks by the twenty-two
international artists included in this massive exhibition-one of
the largest in David Zwirner's history. Beyond its stunning visual
components, the book features crucial new scholarship by Diedrich
Diederichsen and Bob Nickas, and an illustrated chronology of the
decade by Kara Carmack. The book also includes an arsenal of
compelling archival material, from documentary photographs from the
period to reproductions of Cologne's culture magazine Spex. Taken
as a whole, this ambitious exhibition catalogue encapsulates the
energy, heart, and "dissonance of styles"-in the words of
Schjeldahl-embodied by this fascinating and fecund moment in global
art history. Artists featured in the book include Werner Buttner,
George Condo, Walter Dahn, Jiri Georg Dokoupil, Peter Fischli/David
Weiss, Gunther Foerg, Robert Gober, Georg Herold, Jenny Holzer,
Mike Kelley, Martin Kippenberger, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger,
Sherrie Levine, Albert Oehlen, Raymond Pettibon, Richard Prince,
Cindy Sherman, Rosemarie Trockel, Franz West, and Christopher Wool.
The first-ever monograph on Reynaud-Dewar, one of today’s most celebrated multimedia artists
French artist Lili Reynaud-Dewar creates environments and situations in which she uses her own body to examine the dual experience of vulnerability and empowerment that results from acts of exposing oneself to the world. Evolving through a range of media such as performance, video, installation, sound, and literature, her work considers the fluid border between public and private space, challenging conventions related to the body, sexuality, power relations, and institutional spaces. This is the first book to document her remarkable career.
This is the first comprehensive monograph devoted to New York and
San Francisco-based artist Renee Green. Over the past 20 years,
through film, video, sound art, photographs, prints, banners,
texts, websites and ephemera, Green's work has comprised complex,
multi-layered archive-like installations, employing a vast array of
sources, which always urge viewers to become active participants.
Included in this superbly illustrated volume are newly commissioned
essays by a host of esteemed media scholars, art historians,
critics and curators--Nora Alter, Diedrich Diederichsen, Kobena
Mercer, Catherine Queloz, Gloria Sutton and Elvan Zabunyan--who
engage issues central to Green's oeuvre, such as genealogy,
archives and their reworkings, movements and displacements, site
specificity and location.
New essays providing innovative ways of understanding the altered
position of media in Germany and beyond. The term "new media" is a
current buzzword among scholars and in the media industry,
referring to the ever-multiplying digitized modes of film/image and
sound production and distribution. Yet how new, in fact, are these
new media,and how does their rise affect the role of older media?
What new theories allow us to examine our culture of ubiquitous
electronic screens and networked pleasures? Is a completely new set
of perspectives, concepts, and paradigmsrequired, or are older
modes of discussion about the relationship between technology and
art still adequate? This book reconsiders the seminal work of
German media theorists such as Adorno, Benjamin, and Kracauer in
order to explore today's rapidly changing mediascape, questioning
the naive progressivism that informs much of today's discourse
about media technologies. The contributions, by
internationally-recognized critics from a variety of academic
fields, encourage a view of the history of media as structured by
difference, complexity, and multiplicity. Together, they offer
intriguing ways of understanding the changed position of media in
today's Germany and beyond. Contributors: Nora M. Alter, Michel

Artist Bruce Conner (1933-2008) moved to San Francisco in 1957 and
quickly enmeshed himself in the Bay Area's distinctive cultural
milieu, combining a vision and a multifaceted body of work that
went beyond the limitations of any genre. From early assemblages of
the 1950s and 1960s to iconic and pioneering works in film, from
photography and photograms to prints, drawings, and paintings,
Conner's oeuvre continues to exert tremendous influence on artists
working today. This historic retrospective catalogue will be the
definitive resource on this important artist for decades to come.
Offering a highly anticipated contemporary perspective on Conner,
it will prove revelatory in assessing his output and place in
postwar art. Illustrated in full color throughout, this
comprehensive volume provides access to a range of material that
has never been published, including early paintings from the 1950s
and works from the last decade of Conner's life, along with a trove
of fascinating ephemeral materials. The publication features
original scholarship by a range of luminaries, including essays by
Frieling, Garrels, Stuart Comer, Diedrich Diederichsen, Rachel
Federman, and Laura Hoptman as well as contributions from Michelle
Barger, Kevin Beasley, Dara Birnbaum, Carol Bove, Stan Brakhage,
Will Brown, David Byrne, Johanna Gosse, Roger Griffith, Kellie
Jones, Christian Marclay, Greil Marcus, Michael McClure, Megan
Randall, Henry S. Rosenthal, Dean Smith, and Kristine Stiles.

Scholars consider sound and its concepts, taking as their premise
the idea that popular culture can be analyzed in an innovative way
through sound. The wide-ranging texts in this book take as their
premise the idea that sound is a subject through which popular
culture can be analyzed in an innovative way. From an infant's
gurgles over a baby monitor to the roar of the crowd in a stadium
to the sub-bass frequencies produced by sound systems in the disco
era, sound-not necessarily aestheticized as music-is inextricably
part of the many domains of popular culture. Expanding the view
taken by many scholars of cultural studies, the contributors
consider cultural practices concerning sound not merely as semiotic
or signifying processes but as material, physical, perceptual, and
sensory processes that integrate a multitude of cultural traditions
and forms of knowledge. The chapters discuss conceptual issues as
well as terminologies and research methods; analyze historical and
contemporary case studies of listening in various sound cultures;
and consider the ways contemporary practices of sound generation
are applied in the diverse fields in which sounds are produced,
mastered, distorted, processed, or enhanced. The chapters are not
only about sound; they offer a study through sound-echoes from the
past, resonances of the present, and the contradictions and
discontinuities that suggest the future. Contributors Karin
