Museums, galleries, foundations, collectors, artists, viewers--how do they all come together? How is that changing? This collection of essays and some photographs from a Cologne working group called European Kunsthalle tackles the fundamental issues facing new initiatives and institutions for contemporary art. It is divided into five topics: The Problem of Location, The Process of Societal Transformation, Cultural Economies, Curatorial Concepts, and, most ambitiously of all, The Way in Which the Art System Operates. Articles and discussion transcripts include "The Crisis of the Audience," "The Cultural Politics of Institutions," "Smuggling: A Curatorial Model," "The Power and Powerlessness of the Private Collector" and Liam Gillick's "Revised Construction of One."

History & Criticism

Walther König, Köln

In the 25 years since she has been active as an artist, Isa Genzken has created a wide-ranging, multi-faceted body of work. From her inhospitable, ruin-like concrete sculptures to the uncannily fragile and wondrously beautiful New Buildings for Berlin (seen at Documenta11), she has acknowledged modernism as both model and loss. With large-format exhibition pictures, essays, and a detailed catalogue raisonna.
