Vito Acconci
Vito Acconci. American artist Vito Acconci is recognized for his daring and revolutionary contribution to the course of late twentieth century art. A key pioneer of performance and video art in the late 1960s, Acconci has continued to surprise his audience by working in new and unexpected media, blurring disciplines from sculpture to installation to architecture. All of his work involves an investigation into the boundary between the body and public space, often with an implied social message. Initially a poet, Acconci turned to visual arts in 1969, gaining the attention of art audiences with such early performances as his notorious Seedbed (1972), when the artist masturbated beneath a ramp covering the gallery floor, his fantasies about the viewers he could hear but not see amplified in the gallery above. The artist reached a turning point in 1974 when he decided no longer to place his own body within his artworks. He continued investigating his chosen social themes with sculptures and installations, such as Instant House (1980), in which the viewer can create a private space in the midst of a public exhibition. Since the mid 1980s Acconci's work has turned towards experimental design and architectural projects, among them his Storefront Renovation for the Storefront for Art and Architecture, New York (1993). Acconci has been included in many seminal group exhibitions of postwar art history, among them 'Information' (The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1970), and Documentas 5 and 7 (1972 and 1982). The work of Acconci Studio was also featured at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2001). Art critic Frazer Ward chronicles the key moments in Acconci's thirty-year career, selecting emblematic works which illustrate the different media in which the artist has worked. In the interview artist discusses with theorist Mark C Taylor his concern for the human body as a social, spatial and linguistic entity. In the Focus, architectural theorist Jennifer Bloomer analyzes one of the artist's recent architectural works, World in Your Bones (1998). For his Artist's Choice, the artist has selected Alain Robbe-Grillet's screenplay for Alain Resnais' film Last Year at Marienbad (1961). Noted also for his poetry and theoretical essays, the selection of Artist's Writings spans his early experimental poetry from the late 1960s to a cultural analysis of public art and architecture in the 1980s and 1990s.

JONAS WOOD
Résumé : In little more than a decade, Jonas Wood has established himself as one of the most talented and original painters of his generation. Exploring a variety of subjects that include friends, family members, sport celebrities, landscapes, domestic interiors, plants, his own work as well as that of other artists, Wood has developed a representational style where overlapping textures and disorienting compressions of space contribute to create images that transmit a universal sense of familiarity, even when they are deeply private. Defined by an awareness of the predominant role of photography in contemporary culture, yet deeply indebted to the history of painting and the possibilities still therein, a meaningful engagement and exploration with the present emerges. Wood's work challenges the notion of visual authenticity through a process of combining elements from different sources to create an image that is uniquely his. His works constitute a reflection of our present time while paying tobute to the great artists that have influenced Wood's practice, from modern masters Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, to California cantor David Hockney, and the celebrated duo of ceramists Michael Frimkess and Magdalena Suarez Frimkess In the Interview Mark Grotjahn and the artist discuss their backgrounds and how they were able to turn their passion into a profession while getting acquainted with the dynamics of the art world Helen Molesworth's Survey is a profound and comprehensive analysis of the historical context in which Wood's practice developed, and how the various elements that compose the fabric of his life inform his paintings. Ian Alteveer focuses on Wood's proclivity for representing interiors and how these resonate with the rest of his work and history of art in general. The comprehensive and previously unpublished selection of images in Studio Visit offers a rare insight into the artist's working environment, his process and sources of inspiration. Finally, Artist's Writings include excerpts from conversations with Corrina Peipon, Katy Donoghue and Jeong Yun Hyeong.ÉPUISÉVOIR PRODUIT39,95 € -
