"Family photographs are a universally familiar genre, and an intimate one, which makes this collection an accessible entry point for its deceptively simple but deeply complex social and representational issues. In turning their cameras on their own households,17 artists including Miguel Calder*n, Ari Markopoulos, Chris Verene and Gillian Wearing consider the family as a dynamic social institution, and confirm, if there was any doubt, tha ..."

"su-per-no-va: n., pl. A rare celestial phenomenon involving the explosion of most of the material in a star, resulting in an extremely bright, short-lived object that emits vast amounts of energy. Given the massive shift in the West's cultural sensibility in the wake of the 9/11 attacks and the current global political situation, the 1990s and its over-the-top, anything-goes art scene suddenly appear much more historical than contempora ..."
"For the past decade, Byron Kim has maintained a steadfast commitment to exploring the potential for content in abstract painting. Kim's work reflects his attraction to the postwar tradition of monochromatic painting, exemplified by Ad Reinhardt's Black Paintings and Brice Marden's fields of color. While Kim incorporates the visual language of color and abstraction, he also addresses cultural and personal issues, positioning himself clos ..."

Leading curators from New York, Milan, and Paris have contributed essays and selected the included artists. Designed by acclaime ..."
"Drawing on (s)cul(p)tural paradigms as diverse as paper-doll books, Mad magazine fold-ins and exploded schematic diagrams, the artists in The Paper Sculpture Book offer a hands-on, self-contained art show. Artworks meant to be cut out by the reader and assembled using very basic materials such as tape and rubber bands have been designed by 29 established and emerging contemporary artists, including The Art Guys, Minerva Cuevas, Seong Ch ..."
"Janine Antoni photographs a pair of hands joined in a Möbius strip of long, polished fingernails; John Baldessari commingles images of politics and handguns and primary-colored spheres; John Coplans offers his feet as self-portrait; Gregory Crewdson tells the cinematic, mysterious tale of a random street in some suburbia somewhere; Thomas Demand constructs the illusion of a soundproof room; Rineke Dijkstra portrays herself as a bather a ..."

"The concept of time has been discussed by philosophers throughout the ages. What is its nature? How does one depict it? Artists, especially, have struggled with representing the ephemeral thing that is time--from On Kawara's never-ending series of dated one-day paintings, to Janine Antoni's infinitely massive and barely gnawed-at hunks of chocolate and lard, to Hiroshi Sugimoto's long-exposure photographs of movie theaters, to Iiigo Man ..."
"Art at the Edge of the Law examines the fine line that artists have often trod between the legal and the legally ambiguous. Frequently the transgression is conceptual rather than directly confrontational, as in Richard Prince's copyright infringements or Gregory Green's pirate station, though no less powerful for that (Barton Lidice Benes's assemblages involving his own HIV-infected blood, for example). Among the artists included are Ja ..."
"Walk Ways examines the ways in which a diverse group of artists has explored the theme of walking as an action and a metaphor. From Eleanor Antin, Janine Antoni, Janet Cardiff, and Hamish Fulton to Martin Kersels, Nancy Spero, Richard Wentworth, and others, the artists in Walk Ways consider walking as a purposeful or meandering activity that unites bodily and mental freedom, and "the walk" as a means of commenting on human agency, polit ..."
"Janine Antoni has played a leading role in performance and installation art during the past decade. She had placed her own body at the center of her work, exploring how the body is both absent and present, visible and invisible. Part of Antoni's groundbreaking method has been to use her body both as an art object and as a functioning tool, as canvas, palette and paintbrush--she ''draws'' with a twitch of her eyelashes, ''paints'' with h ..."
