Grunts, hoots, whimpers, barks and screams","description":"Ryan Gander is one of the most versatile artists of his generation. This accompanying publication for his largest institutional solo exhibition in Europe to date presents works from the past twenty years. They arise from associative thought processes that imbue the everyday and ordinary with new, subtle meaning. His multifaceted practice, which spans sculpture, film, writing, graphic design, installation, performance and more, encourages viewers to develop their own associations and to see the world around them with new eyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRyan Gander (*1976, Chester, UK) studied at Manchester Metropolitan University, the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam, and the Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht.

In recent years, the artist has gained international recognition. She is known for her vibrant acrylic paintings of mass-produced objects, mostly created from her own staged photographs. Brightly painted, inflatable toys or doll heads initially appear hyperrealistic, but upon closer inspection dissolve into painterly abstraction. Sun Yitian thus explores the tension between banality and pathos, consumer culture and individual expressiveness. The volume offers a comprehensive insight into her work and includes numerous illustrations, a conversation between the artist and Udo Kittelmann, and an essay by Chus Martínez.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSun Yitian (*1991 Zhejiang) lives and works in Beijing. She studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and is currently pursuing her doctorate at Tsinghua University.

Exhibition design – or scenography – has thus now become an artistic medium in itself. This study illustrates this development clearly and thoroughly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe introductory essay traces the historical contributions of designers and architects such as Lily Reich, Franco Albini, Lina Bo Bardi, Carlo Scarpa, and others who revolutionized their discipline. Subsequently, experimenting with presentation, framing, plinths, and picture rails became an independent artistic act.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetailed interviews with thirteen international representatives from art and design – including Philippe Parreno, Rosa Barba, Berger\u0026amp;Berger, and Monster Chetwynd – demonstrate the importance of scenography in contemporary culture. They show how our understanding of art has changed and encourage us to look at art history with different eyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMathilde Roman is an art historian (PhD Paris 1 Sorbonne) and art critic living in Nice.

These are paintings of allegorical force, constructed from tessellating panels of wood, felt, and aluminum. In them, spray paint meets competing grid structures and the glaring flash of street signs. Just as the shattered shards of Cubism at the beginning of the 20th century reflected anxieties about industrial change and the impending doom of World War I, Scully's Towers, with their manic fractures, capture the crises of the present a century later. In their disorder and disjunction, they are Towers of Babel – 25 years after 9\/11 and the collapse of the World Trade Center just blocks from the artist's studio. They pose the question of whether our society can ever be reconstructed or whether joy is to be found precisely in the tumult.\n\nSean Scully (b. 1945, Dublin) is one of the most important contemporary artists. The work of the Irish-born artist, who grew up in London and moved to New York in 1975, is characterized by an intensive engagement with Abstract Expressionism, Action Painting, and Minimalism – intellectually accompanied by numerous writings and lectures. Scully lives and works in New York, Aix-en-Provence, and Bavaria.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54343341277448,"sku":"9783775763493","price":44.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775763493.jpg?v=1774085352"},{"product_id":"9783775763813","title":"Franz Marc: The Search for a Better World","description":"Franz Marc's work fascinates with its vibrant colors and deep connection to nature, particularly evident in his depictions of animals.
