"Art After Conceptual Art tracks the various legacies of conceptualist practice over the past three decades.

The 1970 IDCA marked a turning point in design thinking. The confere ..."

"Although the format of the rehearsal is used across a number of disciplines―film and theater as well as fine arts―it has been scarcely considered in historical and contemporary art discourses. With this in mind, Putting Rehearsals to the Test investigates the role and function of the rehearsal as a methodology, modus operandi, medium, site of representation, and reflection on processes of artistic production. As the contributions in thi ..."
"Featuring contributions by artists and theorists such as Kader Attia, Diedrich Diederichsen, Tom Holert, Isabell Lorey and Brian Kuan Wood, Marion von Osten: Once We Were Artists offers a critical mapping of the work of Marion von Osten (born 1963). Von Osten and her work sit between several disciplinary boundaries. Based in Berlin and Vienna, Von Osten is an artist as much as a curator, an organizer-facilitator as much as a theorist an ..."
"Having quickly tired of life as an editor and extra in the Austrian film industry, in 1967 Waltraud Hollinger changed her name to Valie Export and plunged into the violent and often blood-soaked world of Viennese performance art and the extremist "Actions" of Hermann Nitsch, Günter Brus, Otto Mühl and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. Like them, Export subjected her body to pain, but where their work was inevitably drawn towards a religious idea of ..."

"As Katerina Gregos states in her essay “On the Pitfalls of History: Four Films by Lene Berg,” “The work of Lene Berg probes questions about the difference between truth and falsehood, between reality and fantasy, between veracity and mendacity. Berg crafts short, witty, incisive, and often humorous filmic stories, using lo-fi means such as drawing, photocopies, collage, and her own as well as found footage, to interrogate the question o ..."
"Working primarily in video and sequenced slide installations, London-based artist Hilary Loyd (born 1964) portrays the modern city as a place of voyeurism, fetishism and sexual ambivalence. Here, she focuses on waiters, skaters and club-goers, as well as on buildings, plants and flowers."
"Berlin-based artist Manfred Pernice makes installations using building materials like plywood in conjunction with found objects and photocopied imagery, evoking architectural detail and construction elements. Produced in conjunction with a major exhibition at the Neue Museum in Nuremberg, this definitive publication documents the artist's work to date via essays and a comprehensive illustrated biography."
"Reflecting on the decline of modernist utopianism, this volume surveys those artists who have explored and embraced its decay: Yona Friedman, Giuseppe Gabellone, Cyprien Gaillard, Isa Genzken, Dan Graham, Gordon Matta-Clark, Florian Pumhösl, Jeroen de Rijke & Willem de Rooij, Robert Smithson, Rob Voerman and Stephen Willats."

"Hélio Oiticica (1937--1980) occupies a central position in the Latin American avant-garde of the postwar era. Associated with the Rio de Janeiro-based neo-concretist movement at the beginning of his career, Oiticica moved from object production to the creation of chromatically opulent and sensually engulfing large-scale installations or wearable garments. Building on the id ..."
"This full-color catalogue presents a broad overview of Katharina Sieverding's technically processed and manipulated photographic close-ups. They are reproduced here as full-bleeds--faces close to the lens, eyes staring directly into the camera with proposed implication. Sierverding creates what has been described as a "phantasmagoric series of characters . . . relentless, confrontational and frightening but also seductive and vulnerable ..."
