Working in photography, film, sculpture, performance and
installation, Los Angeles-based artist Elad Lassry (born 1977) has
established himself as one of the most original artists of his
generation, with works that are at once visually seductive and
conceptually challenging. This book documents Lassry's solo
exhibition at the Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea in Milan, Italy.
With an essay by Aram Moshayedi (Curator at the Hammer Museum in
Los Angeles) and a conversation between the artist and Jorg Heiser
(co-editor of "Frieze "magazine), it provides an in-depth critical
examination of Lassry's work from the beginning of his career to
the present.
Nature or culture? Nature and culture? The Swedish artist Henrik
Hakansson walks a tightrope between these two poles. He brings them
together, allows them to intermingle, collide with each other, and
yet remain distinct. His latest work represents a kind of
culmination of this process. This book follows and extends an
exhibition at KODE Art Museum and Composer Homes in Bergen in
Norway, where a tree has been dried out and dissected into 101
parts, to be put on display like a forest of sculptures. The
natural entity becomes a work of art as a shared, fragmented
environment. The publication captures a special atmosphere of
meditative calm and vibrant diversity of meaning, and connects the
Bergen piece to a selection of earlier works.
In conjunction with the 100-year anniversary of the Deutscher
Kunstverlag, students at the Berlin University of the Arts took
part in a competition. The aim was to examine the future of books
as a print medium. The fascinating works selected-including video
works, installations, and book-objects-were presented in an
exhibition at municipal galleries. The catalogue documents the
results, presents the artists and their works, and shows pictures
of the exhibition. The presentation is supplemented by a foreword
by the director of the publishing house, Katja Richter, welcoming
remarks by the jury member Joerg Heiser, and an essay by Ilka
Backmeister-Collacott that emphasizes the importance of the print
medium in the age of technology in a declaration of love to the
printed book.
