In the Archive of Longing
Reads modernism and theory through Susan Sontag's archiveThis adventurous critical inquiry into Sontag's archive illuminates the intimate link between modernism and theory while also providing a fascinating reintroduction to these two movements and concepts. Mena Mitrano explores three core ideas in this study: the confusion of terms between modernism and theory; the concept of an 'unwritten theory' suggested by Sontag's subterranean engagement with the foremost theorists of our time (Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze, Lacan, Jameson and others) in the rawness of her journals and notebooks; and Sontag's identity as a non-traditional philosopher, through the extraordinary discipleship to Walter Benj...
Come as You Are
"Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s is the largest and most ambitious contemporary art exhibition ever to be mounted by the Montclair Art Museum. The exhibition and book spotlight a pivotal moment in the recent history of art. Chronicling the "long" 1990s between 1989 and 2001-from the fall of the Berlin Wall to 9/11-"Come As You Are" examines how the art of this period both reflected and helped shape the dramatic societal events of the era, when the combined forces of new technologies and globalization gave rise to the accelerated international art world that we know today"--

Marcel Duchamp
Mit The Great Hidden Inspirer, dem vierten Band der Poiesis-Reihe, widmet sich der renommierte Duchamp-Forscher Michael R. Taylor der Rolle Marcel Duchamps als heimlichem Drahtzieher in entscheidenden Momenten der Kunstgeschichte. In dem titelgebenden Aufsatz deckt Taylor auf, dass es Duchamp war, der dem Surrealismus in seinem New Yorker Exil zwischen 1942 und 1947 aus der Krise half und der Bewegung eine neue Richtung gab. Anlässlich des 100-jährigen Jubiläums von Duchamps wohl provokantestem Geniestreich Fountain erscheint ein weiterer Essay von Taylor in diesem Band. »Blind Man's Bluff« beschreibt die Hintergründe des Ereignisses, bei dem ein Pissoir die Kunstwelt erschütterte. Die damaligen Versuche, dieses provokante Objekt einzuordnen, zeugen von den Schwierigkeiten seiner Kritiker zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts, sich von tradierten ästhetischen Vorstellungen zu lösen. MARCEL DUCHAMP, eigentlich Henri-Robert-Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968), zählt zu den Wegbereitern des Dadaismus und Surrealismus. Seine Ansichten stellen den gängigen Kunstbegriff radikal in Frage und führten das Readymade in die Kunstwelt ein.
Nan Goldin
Starting in the early 1970s, this comprehensive catalogue of Nan Goldin's midcareer retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art covers the party years in Boston and New York night clubs, the wide-spread drug abuse, and the burgeoning AIDS crisis. Goldin's powerful color photographs recount a highly personal version of the last two decades, chronicling her sometimes desperate combat against death and loss, her search for intimacy, and her embrace of new friendships in Europe and Asia.
Artists, Critics, Context
"Artists, Critics, Context is an anthology of readings on American art and culture that begins in the 1940s with Abstract Expressionism and the Cold War and ends in the 1990s with the ubiquity of video installations and the broad cultural changes arising from technological developments in telecommunications and biotechnology."--Preface pg. ix.
