Mona Hatoum (born 1952) has established herself as a truly transnational artist: born in Beirut, and working in Berlin and London, her multimedia work explores the dangers inherent to the borderlines between nation and body. This multi-authored and richly illustrated publication reveals all of the different facets of the artist’s career, from her overtly political performances of the 1980s to her later installations, photographs, sculptures and videos that examine the human body as a metaphor for oppression in a broader sense. Hatoum’s unusual blend of Surrealism and Minimalism both seduces and repels: her endoscopic videos of her organs, blood-red lights, the crackling electricity of wired furniture and glowing globes, a variety of cages and the murderous possibilities of kitchen utensils present us with an alienating intimacy that questions our relationship to our bodies and to the world.

The term “Arte Povera” was introduced by the influential critic and curator Germano Celant in 1967, to describe a new art that expressed the economic and cultural turbulence of the late 1960s in Italy. This art became identified with the use of “poor” materials such as soil, glass, wood and wax, but in fact its products ranged from paintings and sculptures to photographs and performances. Artists such as Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Pino Pascali, and Michelangelo Pistoletti were the stars of this new movement, and their innovations have made for a lasting legacy among subsequent generations exploring raw materials, the possibilities of the gallery space and everyday detritus. The Sammlung Goetz possesses one of the most comprehensive collections of Arte Povera, presented in this publication for the first time alongside archival photographs and documents.

History & Criticism

The sixth and final volume of the Imagination Becomes Reality series, featuring works from the renowned Goetz Collection in Munich, includes a selection of works by 50 of the most interesting and relevant artists of our day, all of whom expand on the discourse of painting without ever being limited to one medium. Ingvild Goetz remarks: "Many artists expand the medium of painting in sculpture, photography and video; that is, they 'paint' on different surfaces, whereas conversely, painters often first generate their pictures on computers to then ultimately transfer them to canvas." This volume collects key works by Franz Ackermann, Olaf Breuning, James Casebere, Peter Doig, Inka Essenhigh, Barnaby Furnas, Wade Guyton/Kelley Walker, Eberhard Havekost, Lothar Hempel, William Kentridge, Mark Leckey, Loretta Lux, Raymond Pettibon, Lari Pittman, Michael Raedecker, Wilhelm Sasnal, Dana Schutz, Markus Selg, Cindy Sherman, Laurie Simmons, Hiroshi Sugito, Tal R and Jeff Wall, among others.

A thorough discussion of the 'exhibition' as a mediumThis book serves as a platform for issues on contemporary applied art with the aim of stimulating critical discourse within the fieldThe profession of exhibition making and curatorial practices has over the course of the last twenty years undergone a seminal change, something which in turn has challenged the notion of what an exhibition can be, not least in terms of communication and design. Large scale group exhibitions, like documenta in Kassel, seem to have involved discussions on exhibition making and curatorial models at the heart of their organizational body. Another common aspect of these large-scale events is that they employ new venues for showing and presenting works, be it museums that normally don't show contemporary art or craft, abandoned factories or various public spaces.Craft 2014, the annual group exhibition of the Norwegian Association for Arts and Crafts, created much lively debate concerning spatial design, as the walls and floor in the exhibition spaces were covered in tags by local graffiti artists. Was the perception of the individual works impaired due to the "smeared" exhibition walls, or has it not only elevated the exhibition but also made it more contemporary and more fun?
