Rudolf Steiner and Contemporary Art

By: Markus Brüderlin,Ulrike Groos

Ever since the Rudolf Steiner's panel drawings were first exhibited in a contemporary art context in the summer of 1992 at the Galerie Monika Sprüth in Cologne, they went on tour as the transmitter of an 'anthroposophy for the future' through the best known museums in the world. In addition to his paintings, drawings and sculptures, these panel pictures are clearly located at the junction between art and science, programmatically pointing to the key interrelationship between mankind and the cosmos. It was always Steiner's extraordinary way of seeing objects and non-objects that led to sustainable reform projects in such fields as agriculture, education and medicine. This book examines for the first time Anthroposophist thought as reflected in contemporary art and to what extent its integral concepts and aesthetic ideas are realized in the visual arts. This exhibition 'homage' to Rudolf Steiner features artworks by Joseph Beuys, Anish Kapoor, Tony Cragg, Olafur Eliasson among many others. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Rudolf Steiner and Contemporary Art at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, May - October 2010, and Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, February - May 2011. English text.

Japan and the West

The Filled Void

By: Stephen Addiss,Carl Andre,Markus Brüderlin,Annelie Lütgens

Das Phänomen der Reduktion und des Minimalismus bilden neben der Abkehr von der ausschließlich gegenständlichen Gestaltungsweise - der Abstraktion - ein Haupt-merkmal der Ästhetik der Avantgarde und der westlichen Moderne. In der japanischen Kultur kennt man seit mehreren hundert Jahren die Leere und Einfachheit als das zentrale Gestaltungs-prinzip im Rahmen der spirituell begründeten Zen-Philosophie. Diese ästhetische Analogie macht eine Ge-genüberstellung des westlichen Minimalismus und der östlichen Leere besonders interessant. Sie fragt nach den Unterschieden und Verwandtschaften, den Ideenhintergründen und Wahrnehmungsweisen. Objekte des traditionellen japanischen Kunst-handwerks und Instrumente des Teeweges werden ausgesuchten Werken der minimalistischen Kunst des Westens gegenübergestellt: Barnett Newmans "Gate" von 1954 begegnet einem japanischen Rollbild aus dem 18. Jahr-hundert. Giacomettis Figur "Eli Lothar" einer Buddhastatue aus dem 17. Jahrhundert. Dieses Buch ist zu jenen Standardwerken zu zählen, die den Blick auf grundlegende Fragen von künstlerischer Produktion und Rezeption innerhalb der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts richten und auf diese Weise wichtige internationale Einflüsse aufzeigen. Auswahl aus der Künstlerliste: Carl Andre, Julius Bissier, John Cage, Lucio Fonatna, Alberto Giacometti, Roni Horn, Don-ald Judd, On Kawara, Paul Klee, Agnes Martin, Reiner Ruthenbeck, Robert Ryman, Yoshi-horo Suda, Cy Twombly

Painting Pictures

Painting and Media in the Digital Age

By: Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg

For some years now, painting has been the subject of renewed interest in the art world, taking prime place in such international exhibitions as Pittura Immedia, Troublespot Painting, Painting at the Edge of the World, and Urgent Painting. In this same field of exploration and debate, Painting Pictures considers the possibilities of painting in the age of photographic and digital media. Let those calls for the death of painting after photography ring hollow--Painting Pictures shows how painting reinvents itself in the face of photography, television, advertising, cinema and the computer. Featured is work by dozens of artists who bring painting into the digital age from a variety of approaches, including Jeff Koons, Fiona Rae, Richard Patterson, Matthew Ritchie, Takashi Murakami, Franz Ackermann, Lisa Ruyter, Sarah Morris, Monique Prieto, Brain Calvin, Inka Essenhigh and Fred Tomaselli. These artists often make use of new media for their paintings by appropriating digital pictures or by using the computer as sketchbook. Conversely, new-media artists often cite picture stories and painting gestures in their photographs and videos--and so, within these pages, the reader will also find work by Wolfgang Tillmans, Sarah Jones, Bill Viola, Massimo Vitali, Andreas Gursky, Jeff Wall, Doug Aitken and others.

Die Kunst der Entschleunigung

Bewegung und Ruhe in der Kunst von Caspar David Friedrich bis Ai Weiwei

By: Markus Brüderlin

The Art of Deceleration distills a theme that touches a nerve with society. Since the 19th century, the tempo of life has continuously increased up to "rushing stand still" (Paul Virilio). The longing for relaxation and contemplation grows at the same time. The exhibition project in the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg focuses on the contrapuntal phenomenon of motion and rest in art from the Romantic to classic modernism and the present day. From the beginning, the fascination for unleashed motion was accompanied by the search for an aesthetic of slowness. The Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg examines this dialectic in a comprehensive exhibition featuring circa 150 works by 80 artists. Artists of the exhibition: Josef Albers - Giacomo Balla - Joseph Beuys - Alexander Calder - Hussein Chalayan - Francesco Clemente - Giorgio de Chirico - Robert Delaunay - Marcel Duchamp - Caspar David Friedrich - Franz Gertsch - Douglas Gordon - Andreas Gursky - Jeppe Hein - Anselm Kiefer - Frantisek Kupka - El Lissitzky - Aristide Maillol - Kasimir Malewitsch - Christian Marclay - Kris Martin - Aernout Mik - Lazlo Moholy-Nagy - Giorgio Morandi - Bruce Nauman - Roman Opalka - Julian Opie - George Osodi - Nam June Paik - Julius Popp - Odilon Redon - Gerhard Richter - Auguste Rodin - Mark Rothko - Thomas Ruff - Jonathan Schipper - Jean Tinguely - William Turner - James Turrell - Cy Twombly - Lee Ufan - Fabienne Verdier - Bill Viola - Andy Warhol - Ai Weiwei - Zhou Xiaohu - and others.

Living in Art : from Romantic Interior Painting to the Home Design of the Future

By: Markus Brüderlin,Annelie Lütgens

Featuring installations, photographs, videos, and paintings, reconstructed historical interiors, modern design objects, experimental and legendary pieces of furniture, this book is an historical survey of 250 years of domestic history. The fascinating interaction between interior painting and interior design ranging from Romanticism to design concepts for the home of the future is explored in this comprehensive publication. Interieur/Exterieur charts individual chapters in the history of a constant convergence of art and design that ultimately led to a reciprocal permeation: while artists are producing objects and environments, designers are avowing themselves of artistic methods. This publiaction features paintings, sculptures, installations, reconstructions of interiors, furniture, photographs, and videos as well as digital animations by seventy-eight renowned artists, designers, and architects, such as Caspar David Friedrich, Henry van de Velde, Edvard Munch, Henri Matisse, Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Zaha Hadid, and Ronan, in addition to Erwan Bouroullec, Tobias Rehberger, and Andrea Zittel. This publication thus unites two aspects of modernity in the discourse on living and life in an exceedingly rich compendium: the interior as an inner view and the setting for artistic reflection as well as the interior in living concepts between art and design in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Alberto Giacometti

The Origin of Space

By: Alberto Giacometti

Space does not exist," the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) wrote in 1949. "It has to be created... Every sculpture made on the assumption that space exists is wrong, there is only the illusion of space." This fascinating statement serves as a conceptual underpinning for Hatje Cantz's new appraisal of the artist's mature work. Giacometti's emaciated sculptures have long been seen as symbols of a newly anxious, frail humanity. But more recently, attention has come to focus on the relevance of his work for contemporary considerations of space and time. Alberto Giacometti: The Origin of Space supplies a comprehensive overview of the later works of this lastingly influential artist, presenting 200 color images of sculptures, paintings and drawings.

Neo Rauch

Neue Rollen : Paintings 1993-2006

By: Gottfried Boehm,Holger Broeker

In a lakeside scene, a man leans on a graphic of an arrow as if it were a rake handle in the garden; tentacles rise from the shoreline and rectangular speech bubbles hang empty in the yellow sky. In a Dali-esque interior, the corner of a comforter drips off a bed. This major new overview of the work of the Leipzig painter Neo Rauch makes, once again, the case that he is one of the most important artists of his generation. He remains committed to putting brush on canvas in an age when digital media are gaining ground, and among a crowd of similarly dedicated colleagues, he stands out at the forefront. While his work of the 1980s was influenced by Expressionism, his more recent portfolio revels in a new take on Socialist Realism, clearly shaped by the experience of growing up in the former East Germany. Rauch riffs on the once-mandated styles of his youth and on Western abstraction from the second half of the twentieth century, all in coloration and figuration that directly allude to the Socialist past. Between cartoon styling and historic technique, he has found a distinctive style, palette, and concept. These dreamlike sequences feel both timeless and deeply rooted: Rauch gathers figures from the past in surreal landscapes and interiors to tell enigmatic stories about the present.

Rudolf Steiner

Alchemy of the Everyday

By: Rudolf Steiner,Mateo Kries,Alexander von Vegesack

Steiner is regarded as one of the most influential reformers of the twentieth century. He created extraordinary furniture designs and initiated a building style that seems to prefigure contemporary architecture. At the same time, he advocated a holistic view of humanity which shows its influence in many areas of our lives today, and he inspired artists such as Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky and Joseph Beuys. This book is the first presentation of Steiner's work in its full breadth. Numerous scholarly essays discuss the origins, context and influence of Steiner's work, complemented by over 500 illustrations, inlcuding both new and historical photographs, architectural plans, notebook sketches and artworks. This material is supplemented by comparisons with current design trends, from works by Olafur Eliasson and design objects by Konstantin Grcic to the architecture of Herzog & de Meuron. With texts by Philip Ursprung, Paul Virilio, Mateo Kries, Walter Kugler, Markus Bruderlin, Wolfgang Pehnt, Julia Althaus, Wolfgang Zumdick and others.

Paul Graham

Empty Heaven : Photographs from Japan, 1989-1995

By: Paul Graham

This is a collection of photographs examining contemporary Japanese society. The photographer, Paul Graham, identifies a collective amnesia in Japan which, 50 years after the end of World War II, obscures the memory of total defeat and unconditional surrender. Simultaneously, the book recognizes the cloud of benevolence masking the true source of political power.
