This lavish picture-book surveys Seth Price's (born 1973) 2009-13 series of Knot Paintings, in which Price unites his signature vacuum-forming technique--an industrial plastic packaging process-- with a refined group of painterly techniques that include acrylic and oil, spray paint, screen printing, poured resins and patterned fabrics. Museum Brandhorst director Achim Hochdörfer has written: "Each Knot Painting introduces a fresh set of concerns: drawing and print techniques are integrated, slits are made in the surface, new ways of applying paint are tested. Painting becomes a node in a network of media-related and societal references." Price developed the book's concept and materials in close collaboration with designer Joseph Logan, yielding an artist's book in which the layout moves from extreme close-up to full views of these rich surfaces, while plastics and metal in the book's binding reflect the materiality of the works.
In der ersten umfassenden Publikation zu seinem vielfältigen Œuvre zeichnet der Künstler ein schonungsloses Porträt des heutigen medienbestimmten Lebens in der westlichen Welt. Ein Schlüsselthema seines Schaffens kreist um das Selbst, das unter dem Druck der Technik steht, und findet seinen expressiven Ausdruck immer wieder in der Beschäftigung mit der „Haut“ von Oberflächen, Verpackungen und Ummantelungen: eine fotografische Studie von menschlicher Haut, entstanden anhand von Google verwendeter kartografischer Verfahren; eine vakuumgeformte Reliefarbeit, die ein Körperteil in Kunststoff festhält; eine großformatige Wandskulptur vom Negativraum zwischen zwei Menschen in vertrauter Interaktion, für die eine aus dem Internet stammende JPG-Datei stark vergrößert wurde.
From one of the most influential artists of his generation comes a provocative, moving novella about what it means to be a creative person under today's digital regime. In the course of a gripping, headlong narrative, Price's unnamed protagonist moves in and out of contemporary non-spaces on a confounding and enigmatic quest, all the while meditating on art in the broadest sense: not simply painting and sculpture but also film, architecture, literature, and poetry. From boutique hotels and highway bridges to PC terminals and off-ramps; from Kanye West and Jeff Koons to George Bush and Patricia Highsmith; from the playground to the internet to the mirror, Price's hybrid of fiction, essay, and memoir gets to the central questions not only of art, but of how we live now
