For 20 years, "Parkett presented unparalleled explorations and
discussions of important international contemporary artists by
esteemed writers and critics. These investigations continue in
issue #70, which features collaborations by Swiss-American visual
artist and composer Christian Marclay, Polish painter Wilhelm
Sasnal, and British video artist and photographer Gillian Wearing.
Each of these artists has carved out a unique manner of working
with the mediums of sculpture, painting, and photography,
respectively. As well, each artist extends the use of film and
video to reflect political, social, or popular culture. Authors
include Ingrid Schaffner, Philip Sherburne, and Philippe Vergne on
Marclay; Meghan Dailey, Gregor Jansen, and Adam Szymczyk on Sasnal;
and Gordon Burn and Dan Cameron on Gillian Wearing, with a
conversation between Cay Sophie Rabinowitz and Wearing. Also in
this issue: Greg Hilty on Rebecca Warren, Dominic van den Boogerd
on Aernout Mik, Catherine Wood on Mark Leckey, Carolee Thea on Joan
Jonas, and an insert by Nic Hess. To celebrate "Parkett's 20th
Anniversary, this year's three issues (#70,71, 72) will feature
special contributions by both artists and writers on the current
state of materiality in contemporary art. Scholarly writers look
back to how earlier generations of artists employed materials and
how this differs from so many contemporary artists' material
engagements today. Collaborating artists of the past two decades
contribute anecdotes, drawings, and photographs commemorating their
experiences with "Parkett. Best of all is the inclusion of an
additional fourth collaborating artist who will participate in a
discussion about his or her relationship tomateriality and will
create a new "Parkett edition: with Franz West in issue #70,
Pipilotti Rist in issue #71, and Alex Katz in issue #72. For
"Parkett #71, the featured collaborating artists will be Swiss
installation and video artist Olaf Breunning; British conceptualist
Keith Tyson; and American painter Richard Phillips.

Since the mid-1960s, Franz West (born 1947) has been finding new
ways to balance his art on the line between beauty and ugliness. At
the age of 14, West--living in bombed-out, post-Nazi
Vienna--attended an event organized by the Viennese Actionists, at
which Hermann Nitsch smashed a lamb cadaver against the wall of a
basement room in a tenement building: "it was incredibly shocking
and really depressing," West said. His own art over the past four
decades has eschewed such nihilism: his "Adaptives," which he has
described as "neuroses made material" (with a nod to Darwin as
well), are sculptural objects for viewers to engage physically,
using them as ungainly temporary prostheses, appliances,
accessories, and instructional tools. "White Elephant" documents
these, as well as West's important works of furniture and collage,
and his marvelously awkward sculptures, which seem lumpily homely
and unbalanced, or gangly and hopeful as a blemished teen.
