David Shrigley Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

What is art, where do I find it, and once I'm in front of it, what am I supposed to think about it? Kate Bryan is a self-confessed art addict who has worked with art for over twenty years. But before she studied art history at university, she'd been into a gallery just twice in her life and had no idea she was entering an elitist world. Now, she's on a mission to help everybody come to art. Like playing or listening to music, or cooking and eating great food, reading or watching films, making art or looking at other people's deserves to be an enriching part of all our lives. So here, in HOW TO ART, is a nifty way to take art on your own terms. From where it is to what it is, to tips on how to actually enjoy really famous artworks like the Mona Lisa, to how to own art and make art at home, through to vital advice for making a career as an artist and even how to make your dog more cultural, How to Art gives art to everyone, and makes it fun. Laced throughout with original artworks by the very down-to-earth artist David Shrigley.

"Get Your Sh*t Together is the first book that exclusively features recent artwork in color by beloved British artist David Shrigley. This volume celebrates Shrigley's absurd, deadpan sensibility through both his signature drawing style and accompanying text. Organized by chapters with titles such as Stupid, Nonsense, Dirt, Fear, Paranoia, Love, and Self Delusion, this collection is sure to delight die-hard Shrigley fans and new ones alike. This is the largest-format book to date on Shrigley's prolific work, and features design details such as a ribbon marker with one of his mordant sayings printed on it, as well as hand-written, humorous essays throughout" --Amazon

The definitive collection of the work of cult artist David Shrigley.

A profound, unsettling and very funny new book from the cult artist, David Shrigley.

'Ich bin ein ekelhafter Mensch mit Sinn für Humor' David Shrigley Tiefe Weisheit und schallendes Gelächter: David Shrigley ist einer der originellsten zeitgenössischen Künstler. Wir zeigen seine besten Bilder und Texte. Seine Bilder sind bizarr, abgründig, albern, tieftraurig, voller Schalk. Und sie sind vor allem eines: unverwechselbar. David Shrigley, ein Held des schwarzen Humors und ein Star der Indie-Szene, hat eine Botschaft, auch wenn diese oft mit einem hintergründigen Grinsen daherkommt. Jedes seiner scheinbar nur hingekritzelten Bilder birgt eine überraschende und erhellende Perspektive - es ist, als würde man in einen Abgrund blicken und dabei schallend lachen. Launenhaft und unberechenbar setzt er ein Universum aus kleinen Bausteinen zusammen und führt uns die Absurdität menschlicher Existenz vor Augen. Mit speziell für diese Ausgabe in deutscher Sprache konzipierten Arbeiten.

This book was created during a residency at IASPIS, Stockholm, April - May 2009.
