{"product_id":"64553-plastic-world","title":"Plastic World","description":"Plastic is everywhere. It permeates the present, is cheap, globally available and omnipresent in everyday life. As a symptom and symbol of mass culture, plastics have also exerted a great fascination on art production since the 1950s due to their creative possibilities. But in this short history of the \"Plastic Age\", the versatile material transformed from the epitome of progress, utopian spirit and the democratization of consumption into a threat. With over 100 objects, assemblages, installations and video works by around 50 international artists, Plastic World shows a broad panorama of artistic engagement with plastic. The spectrum ranges from the euphoria of pop culture in the 1960s to the futuristic influence of the Space Age and the trash works of Nouveau Réalisme, all the way to eco-critical positions; it encompasses architectural utopias as well as sculptural experiments with plastic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSELECTION OF ARTISTS: Monira Al Qadiri, Archigram, Arman, Lynda Benglis, César, Christo, Öyvind Fahlström, Haus-Rucker-Co, Eva Hesse, Hans Hollein, Craig Kauffman, Kiki Kogelnik, Gino Marotta, James Rosenquist, Pascale Marthine Tayou and Pınar Yoldaş","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755246919944,"sku":"9783775754675","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775754675_9269cb19-b227-4da6-b818-f1fea3bf19d0.jpg?v=1744289412","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/64553-plastic-world","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
