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.

The ecstatic face of a disco dancer in Berlin; a rural panorama in
Derry, where a country road has been made into a Pollock-like
canvas of red, white and blue; an ashtray, framed by a lacy spray
of blood in a Barcelona toilet. Paul Graham uses and abuses classic
genres of photography - the portrait, the landscape, the still life
- to map a cultural topography. His jewel-like colours and
unsettling compositions reveal how social relations and political
trauma are inscribed in the everyday. This book brings together for
the first time all of Graham's successive series, from his journey
along the A1 in Britain to intimate studies of Japan. Graham's work
has been celebrated in exhibitions around the world, including The
Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Tate Britain, London. Art
historian Andrew Wilson has written extensively on contemporary
European art and is the author of Gustav Metzger: Damaged Nature,
Auto-Destructive Art. He charts the development of Graham's most
significant series as defined by the journeys the artist has taken,
weaving relations between an emerging aesthetic and the specifics
of time and place. In the Interview, Paul Graham speaks with
British artist Gillian Wearing, internationally renowned for her
photographs and videos that explore the imaginary worlds of
ordinary people. Focusing on a triptych from the New Europe series
is the celebrated American writer Carol Squiers, Senior Editor at
American Photo magazine and editor of The Critical Image: Essays on
Contemporary Photography. In juxtaposition with this work, Graham
has chosen texts by Japanese authors Kazuo Ishiguro and Haruki
Murakami. A series of notes by the artist and an interview with
Lewis Baltz provide further insight.
