"Die Kunst des Kanadiers Rodney Graham mag leichtfüßig daherkommen, tatsächlich verbirgt sich dahinter eine außerordentliche inhaltliche und mediale Vielschichtigkeit. So finden sich in seinen Fotografien, Objekten, Malereien, Filmen, Texten und Musikstücken Verweise zur Philosophie und Literatur, zur Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte, die von Erasmus von Rotterdam über Edgar Allan Poe bis zu Sigmund Freud, Richard Wagner und Curt Cobain reich ..."
"In our accelerated era of "faster," "better," "farther," "higher," this comprehensive catalogue of the media art of the world-renowned Goetz Collection in Munich offers not only a survey of much of the most important film and video work to have been made over the last 15 years, but also a vision of how our habit of seeing and experiencing the world--in perpetual fast forward mode--has come out of our own cultural acceleration.

With a firm place in institutional and private collections, with an ever-burgeoning range of practitioners, media art can safely be considered a part of the contemporary canon. And hence Fast Forward, a hefty, thorough reference guide, a virtual catalogue raisonné of the medium, from works found in the Goetz Collection. Over 180 film and video works by almos ..."

"As a young artist living in New York, Andrea Zittel started to design furniture that satisfied her needs and desires and saved space. In search for organization systems in all areas of life, she acts as a researcher, test person, inventor and fabricator efficiently rolled up into one, producing objects, dwelling units and clothing. Zittel founded A-Z Administrative Services in 1992 as a laboratory, shop, conceptual organization, apartme ..."

"Gebundenes BuchDie Inszenierung von weiblichen Rollenbildern ist das zentrale Thema im Werk von Cindy Sherman. Dabei bezieht sich die amerikanische Künstlerin auf Stereotypen des kollektiven Bildgedächtnisses in unserer medial geprägten Welt. In diesem perfekten Rollenspiel mit Kostümen, Masken und Prothesen, bei dem ihre eigene Identität nahezu komplett verschwindet, hinterfragt Sherman (geb. 1954) auf dem sehr schmalen Grat zwischen I ..."
"A visual artist, stage designer and director, Hans Op de Beeck (born 1969) never allows any one genre to define his work. This comprehensive overview of the artist's oeuvre includes video installations of the 1990s, sculptures, works on paper and site-specific environments. Special focus is placed on his still lifes and interiors."
"This volume considers the work of Mike Kelley alongside the collaborations of Peter Fischli and David Weiss. Kelley's works are firmly anchored in an ironic, detached attitude towards his Irish Catholic upbringing; he makes use of the pictorial language of specific subcultures and the aesthetics of 'low culture,' to probe such concerns as the representation of childhood and the social construction of sexual behavior and cultural identif ..."
"Talking Pictures is the third, central component of a five-part cycle titled Imagination Becomes Reality, produced by the renowned Goetz Collection. Here the focus shifts to contemporary narrative images, less actual "talking pictures", films or videos, than other visual media--paintings, for instance--engaged in an exchange with the viewer. When painting used comprehensible set symbols, compositions, atmospheres or motifs, the work was ..."
"Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? feminist art historian Linda Nochlin famously asked in 1988. It's a rhetorical question that fortunately needn't be asked in the 90s, a decade that produced at least as much great art by women as by artists of any other gender. Primarily devoted to the positions of these young European and American women art makers, The Benefit of Art displays sketches and paintings, photographic works, videos ..."
"The immersive soundscape installations and intimate environments of the Canadian artist duo Janet Cardiff (born 1957) and Georges Bures Miller (born 1960) present an ongoing series of chapters in the life of the ghost in the machine. Their works describe tales of tag-sale menace and shared loneliness through aural means, wholly reconceiving the gallery experience. A pioneering collector of new media art, Ingvild Goetz has assembled a si ..."

"Lucy McKenzie works in her native Glasgow, but also shows regularly in London, where she lured the artist Paulina Olowska from Poland for a collaborative performance called Hold the Color. The film of their performance, Oblique Composition, was later shown at the Tate Modern. In both, the artists enact what the Tate calls, "the caricatured roles of 'working women'," with McKenzie playing an artist and Olowska an architect. As McKenzie b ..."
