"Olaf Breuning: Drawings offers a comprehensive catalog of the drawings of Swiss-born, New York–based artist Olaf Breuning (born 1970) made over the past 20 years. Described by Roberta Smith as “the joking sculptor,” Breuning is known for his videos, sculptures, installations and photo-collages which explore kitsch, cliché and popular culture in deliberately eclectic processes and forms. The artist has collaborated with the Public Art Fu ..."

"Interdisciplinary artist Olaf Breuning depicts the world we live in with a keen sense of irony. Born in Switzerland and now based in New York, Olaf Breuning works in a variety of media including photography, video, installation, drawing, and painting. Testing the limits of humor and contemporary aesthetics, Breuning s photo-collages, sculptures, paintings, and comics are simultaneously funny and provocative, absurd and eerie, tragic and ..."
"The Goetz Collection is one of the best assemblages of contemporary art in Europe, each piece having been chosen by Ingvild Goetz herself. In this fourth installment of the Goetz's Imagination Becomes Reality series, featured artists include Olaf Breuning, Barnaby Furnas, Wade Guyton, Kelley Walker, Thomas Helbig, Mark Leckey, Ivan Morley, Markus Selg and Thaddeus Strode."
"From Dada to Fluxus through Sensation to today, humor is at the heart of much of the most-beloved--and least comfortable--art out there. Humor's ambivalence, its ability to shift between the utopian and the destructive, and its refusal of absolute values, distinguish many of those twentieth century movements that continue to exert an influence. This catalogue of work from more than 30 artists, including Bruce Nauman and Jake & Dinos Cha ..."
"Throughout the 1980s and 90s, visionary Geneva gallerist Pierre Huber seems to have had a crystal ball for what's destined to last in contemporary art. And when he's gazed into it in amassing his private collection, he's seen photography, contemporary Chinese art, abstract painting, and other art forms. This catalogue, published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Musae cantonal des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne, gives others a glimpse of wh ..."

"On a journey from England to New York, aboard of the Queen Mary II cruiser, Olaf Breuning made 73 drawings, laced with the references to popular culture and consumerism found in his multimedia installations, photography and videos. These themes are concentrated in Breuning's drawings, which are also characterized by a spirit of humor and subversion."
"Swiss artist Olaf Breuning's videos revel hilariously in adolescent antics and pop culture. In a recent work, Wayne's World types don masks, eat dog food, and throw m&m's at pets, and in another segment, a gang invades Amish country, strips a passerby, pulls a mask over his head, and chases him into the woods. Like Mike Kelley before him, Breuning seeks not just to erase the line between our media-saturated world of film and television ..."
"Films, television, advertising, video clips, and computer games--all are fair game and useful material for Swiss artist Olaf Breuning. In his photographs, videos, and installations, Breuning engages with the reality of the vast array of media that surround us incessantly, day in and day out, appropriating narratives, images, and characters to create unforgettable and eerily familiar hybrids. Through unlikely medleys that juxtapose such ..."
"The publication-- the first book dedicated exclusively to Breuning's paintings-- presents two dozen pictures as well documentation of the production process in the form of wooden stamps and sculptures."

"Most viewers will associate the Swiss artist Olaf Breuning with high-production-value film and photography projects, not low-tech, pointedly handmade work like these sketches. But on a recent trip from England to New York on board the ship The Queen Mary II, he sat down and made 73 direct, powerful and funny drawings. They combine memory with daydream, humor and subversion, and they concentrate the references to media, popular culture, ..."
"Announcing the second edition of this classic monograph--back in stock! Since the early 1990s, Sean Landers' oeuvre has proven to be one of the most fascinating and repeatedly irritating in contemporary art. (Over the years, he has become known as the artist who--with confessional and stream-of-consciousness texts and videos--presents himself as a failure in his art, his life and his relationships.) The polar opposites of tormented self ..."
"The sixth and final volume of the Imagination Becomes Reality series, featuring works from the renowned Goetz Collection in Munich, includes a selection of works by 50 of the most interesting and relevant artists of our day, all of whom expand on the discourse of painting without ever being limited to one medium. Ingvild Goetz remarks: "Many artists expand the medium of painting in sculpture, photography and video; that is, they 'paint' ..."
"Sigmund Freud's text on the Wolf Man is constructed in terms of translation. Between the seduction and the dream, we can see the passivity which is first translated as being beaten by the father, and then translated as the wish to be sexually satisfied by his father. In this regard, what Freud calls genitality functions as the giver of significations. Lacan establishes the causality of the signifier upon the signified in order to arrang ..."
"For 20 years, Parkett presented unparalleled explorations and discussions of important international contemporary artists by esteemed writers and critics. These investigations continue in issue #70, which features collaborations by Swiss-American visual artist and composer Christian Marclay, Polish painter Wilhelm Sasnal, and British video artist and photographer Gillian Wearing. Each of these artists has carved out a unique manner of w ..."
