Andrea Fraser Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

The second title in the Clarion series spotlights the artist Nikita Gale, whose work applies the lens of material culture to examine the role authority plays in political, social, and economic systems With a priority to immerse the audience in sound, light, and motion, Nikita Gale’s END OF SUBJECT subverts understandings of viewership and prompts spectators to question their subjecthood amongst the installation and each other. Unrestricted by mediums, Gale engages with the architecture of her environment, stimulating all senses through site-specific installation and muses on the boundaries of performance art. She employs abolitionist ideology and institutional critique to simultaneously rupture and rebuild facets of the art institution. With an introductory note by Ebony L. Haynes and a suite of poems by Harmony Holiday, this publication considers historical hierarchies of visibility. A contribution by the esteemed artist Andrea Fraser offers reflections on the various interventions at play during a gathering held in the exhibition.

Louise Lawler subjects the concept of art to critical analysis by re-photographing her own drawings, paintings, and sculptures and incorporating aspects of their immediate surroundings into these "copies." Viewed with a certain detachment, her demystified reproductions also reveal the contextual and situational connotations of her artworks, which recede to a certain extent into the background. Lawler also applies these methods to the work of other artists, photographing their art pieces, particularly as they are mounted in private collections. These contextualizing photographs retain fragments of their surroundings, thus clarifying how the presentation and interpretation of artwork is never free of value judgment or environmental influence. This publication offers the first retrospective overview of the artistic accomplishments of Louise Lawler over the past 20 years. Included are a number of very recent works, some of them created especially for this book.
