""The publication at hand is the second volume of interviews recapitulating the conversations I have been able to hold with artists in the course of my work as a director and curator," writes the Kunsthalle Vienna's illustrious Gerald Matt in his foreword to this galvanizing collection. "It reflects and confirms my conviction that interviews within the 'art system' present a particularly suitable form of creating an equal platform of exc ..."
"Inspired by recent critical/philosophical work re-addressing Kant's notion of "radical evil" (e.g. Richard J. Bernstein's "Radical Evil: A Philosophical Interrogation"), "Exorcism/Aesthetic Terrorism" is a primal scream against deterioration, repression, disaster, and a culture that smothers its demons with whatever definition of normalcy currently prevails. The participants in this collection exorcise the era's monsters in a discharge ..."

"Some remarks on Louise Bourgeois BY POUL ERIK T0JNER - Do you travel to
relive your past?- this was Kahnen's question, which could also be formulated
thus: - Do you travel to rediscover your past? And Marco's reply was: - The
foreign places are like a negative mirror. The traveller recognizes the little that is
his, and discovers the much that he has not possessed and will not be given. Italo
Calvino, Invisible Cities "Every time I ..."
"Louise Bourgeois first travelled to Russia in 1932, at the age of 21, having just received her Baccalaureate in philosophy from the University of Paris. Her second journey occured in the spring of 1934, and included a visit to the Moscow Theater Festival, to see the work of the Russian Constructivists, and to observe May Day celebrations in Red Square. Nearly 70 years later, Bourgeois returned to Russia on the occasion of her retrospect ..."
"Born into a left-wing, politically-active Jewish family in Chicago in 1939, Judy Cohen grew up in household in which human rights and values were issues of principle, and the empowerment of the individual was an imperative rather than an aspiration. This environment, and the untimely death of her father, helped to shape the artist known today as Judy Chicago. A prodigious talent, she was enrolled in art classes at the Chicago Institute ..."

"Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) invented a new kind of language for sculpture--a language that was essentially psychoanalytic, uniquely capable of expressing oedipal struggle, ominous forces of repression, sexual symbolism and material uncanniness. Famed for some of the twentieth century's most enduring works, such as "The Destruction of the Father" (1974), "Arch of Hysteria" (1993) and "Maman" (1999), Bourgeois also disseminated her influ ..."
"Focusing on a signature phase of Louise Bourgeois's oeuvre, this volume includes in-depth examinations of a selection of the sculptor's Cells series while also studying the innovative series in its entirety. Like the majority of Bourgeois's pieces, her series of Cells are at once enigmatic and extremely personal. Constructed during the last two decades of the artist's life, these complex and sophisticated works are daring and provocativ ..."

"Louise Bourgeois' drawings for the La Fabrica Matador series of Artist Portfolios, originally produced in 1999, are executed on music notation paper using red, blue and black ballpoint pens. In a short statement written for the portfolio, Bourgeois writes: "At first there is terrific tension. Then slowly line, shape, space and color, like notes on a score, begin to form a rhythm.""
"The fear of being born into the world an unwanted girl; the fear of becoming a pawn in the lives of her parents; the fear of failing as a wife, mother and artist: Over the course of her 70 years as an artist, Louise Bourgeois, born in 1911 in Paris, has always placed the psychology of family at the center of her work. Bourgeois left her homeland in 1938, without a degree, to live in New York with her husband, Robert Goldwater, a curator ..."
