Bøger udgivet af Parkett Verlag

In this issue the idea of the object is exploded in the works of two artists with strikingly different yet subtly similar approaches to the legacies of Minimalism and Conceptualism. Since the 1960s, Lawrence Weiner has questioned artistic authority and originality eschewing images for an art "made" entirely of language. Winner of the prestigious Turner Prize in 1994, Rachel Whiteread relies on the imaginative associations of her audience, constructing a world where objects are described in terms of absences. Also in this issue, Vince Leo on Robert Frank; INSERT by Nan Goldin. Contributors include Simon Watney, Trevor Fairbrother, Lane Relya, Daniela Salvioni, Brook Adams, Neville Wakefield and more.

Playful investigations into sculpture and culture collide and combine. For Austrian Franz West, the psychology charged objectis a crucible in which matter changes shape. In the work of American Charles Ray, the recognizable things of the world--his own body, a toy fire truck, or a plain table-top--are never as simple as they first appear. Insert by Swiss video artist Pipilotti Rist. With texts by Jean Baudrillard, Peter Schjedahl, Robert Storr, Klaus Kertess, Christopher Knight and more.

"The work of Mario Merz leaves the impression of a compulsive urge toward transcendence. On the one hand, he is himself a kind of Second Coming, considerably less glorious than was anticipated, bringing confirmation of another postponement in the offing, a third and fourth and fifth Coming. On the other hand, he is the last futurist left standing in the wake of a future that has exhausted itself in an orgy of big bangs." --Jeanne Silverthorne

"Gilbert & George consider themselves warriors "fighting for a total expression." They want to invoke all our experiences, intellectual and physical, even the most dramatic, the most banal, the most shunned by social custom. Their daily struggle for artistic creative action becomes a metaphor of the unceasing desperate activity of man." --Mario Codognato

For the past three decades Parkett has worked hand in hand with the most compelling artists and authors of our time in order to bring them to a wider public. With the special summer issue 100/101, the publishers have decided to bring the publication of the printed art magazine to a close. Parkett volumes and editions will remain fully documented online and available via its book distributors. New, expanded Parkett exhibitions in various museums are in preparation as well, and will further explore the publication's singular approach as a 33 year time capsule and archive of contemporary art. This final issue will retrace the energies and ideas that inspired and underpinned Parkett and the special editions and works created by some 260 collaborating artists during the past 33 years. Collaborating artists will include Nairy Baghramian, Nicolas Party, Jordan Wolfson, Maurizio Cattelan, Marlene Dumas, Katharina Fritsch, Katharina Grosse, Marilyn Minter, Jean-Luc Mylayne, and Pipilotti Rist, among others. In interviews, conversations, and essays, Parkett Vol. 100/101 will highlight the major changes and events that have shaped this expansive epoch. It will be an occasion to take a clear-sighted look at the past, the present, and the future.

Parkett 91 features collaborations with Yto Barrada, Nicole Eisenman, Liu Xiaodong and Monika Sosnowska. In photography and video, Yto Barrada interrogates borders, both geographic and economic. Here her work is discussed by Nuria Enguita Mayo and Urs Stahel, and in a conversation with Eyal Weizman. Nicole Eisenman paints portraits of her community of artists and writers; Jess Arndt and Litia Perta take their turn portraying Eisenman, while Erica Kaufman, Matt Longabucco and Ariana Reines contribute poetic responses. Monika Sosnowska examines the promises and failures of modernist architecture. Here, Francesco Bonami, Brian Dillon and Joanna Mytkowska consider her projects. Liu Xiaodong depicts marginalized groups in a realist style. Hou Hanru and Charles Merewether offer their views on the artist, who also engages in a dialogue with Philip Tinari.

Parkett 90 presents direct collaborations with important international artists, each of whose oeuvre is explored in several essays by leading writers and critics. Each artist also creates a special signed and numbered artwork exclusive to Parkett. In addition to this central collaboration element, Parkett includes various articles on contemporary art within a series of playful guiding rubrics such as "Cumulus," "Insert" or "Les Infos du Paradis." The long list of artists that have collaborated with Parkett features Laurie Anderson, Richard Artschwager, Georg Baselitz, Matthew Barney, Louise Bourgeois, Francesco Clemente, Peter Fischli/David Weiss, Gilbert & George, Rebecca Horn, Ilya Kabakov, Jeff Koons, Brice Marden, Bruce Nauman, Meret Oppenheim, Raymond Pettibon, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol and many more.

Parkett 89 presents features on Los Angeles bricoleur Mark Bradford, hugely acclaimed in recent years for his densely layered torn billboard paintings that record the constant erosion of the urban landscapes from which they are drawn, while also letting Bradford's personal history seep through the excavated surfaces; Oscar Tuazon, an American artist now living in Paris, who improvises structures in pre-existing buildings and in nature, using a combination of pre-fabricated and organic materials, from enormous concrete blocks, steel slabs and cardboard to tree trunks and gallery walls; New York-based painter Charline von Heyl, whose brightly colored, heavily gestural work juggles figuration and abstraction; and Seoul-born, Berlin-based Haegue Yang, who assembles her installations from everyday household devices that relay eerie psychological narratives (sometimes based on various historical figures), and whose recent installation at the New Museum in New York, using her signature venetian blinds, won her much critical attention. Also featured is a conversation with K8 Hardy; and writing for the issue are Kabir Carter, Huey Copeland, Christopher Bedford, Alan Licht, Jessica Morgan and Eileen Myles.

Parkett 78 features the artists Ernesto Neto, Olaf Nicolai and Rebecca Warren. Neto's drooping, opaque lycra installations envelop the viewer in a fog of fabric, a cushion for the gaze, their milky skins leaving children ecstatic and adults in a Fredric Jamesonian "Hyperspace." Olaf Nicolai's concept-driven art, like much of the avant-garde work of the last half-century, remains set on integrating art with daily life. We experience this "blurring" in his randomly arranged pre-fabricated Pantone colors, ornamental stones taken from a 1960s Dresden shopping mall and wall text reading, "A short catalogue of things that you think you want..." Rebecca Warren makes vulgar, lumpy plasticine figures that show the influence of Giacometti and R. Crumb alike. As Neal Brown writes, her figures are, "fingered and improperly squeezed into something that is compulsively-chaotic-masturbatory-fat-ugly-disfigured-repressed-incontinent-excretory-bestial-bulimic..." The issue also features Erwin Wurm, Andro Wekua and Vito Acconci, with texts by Yuko Hasegawa, Paulo Herkenhoff, Charles Esche, Vincent Pécoil, Catherine Lampert, Marjorie Perloff and Kate Fowle, among others.

Parkett 88 contains special features on four contemporary artists: painter, designer and performance artist Kerstin Brätsch (born 1976), with essays by Massimiliano Gioni, Fionn Meade and Beatrix Ruf; artist and film-maker Paul Chan (born 1973), with essays by Carrie Lambert Beatty, Alan Gilbert and Boris Groys; the pioneer of appropriationism Elaine Sturtevant (born 1930), with essays by Roger Cook, Paul McCarthy and Stéphanie Moisdon; and the photographer and sculptor Andro Wekua (born 1977), with essays by Daniel Baumann, Douglas Fogle and Claire Gilman. Also in the issue are an essay by Juri Steiner and conversations between art historians Herbert Lachmeyer and Jacqueline Burckhardt, and poet Marcella Durand and painter Suzan Frecon.

For issue 86, on the occasion of Parkett's 25th anniversary, the magazine's patron saint, John Baldessari has provided a special anniversary collaboration, buttressed with an interview and critical assessments. Josiah McElheny's proliferative glass works and Philippe Parreno's appropriations, interventions and films are also featured here, in spreads, interviews and critical assessments, as is the work of Carol Bove, who appears in conversation here with Parkett senior editor Bettina Funcke.

Parkett 85 celebrates the revered nonagenarian Austrian painter Maria Lassnig with new writing by Manuela Ammer, Robert Storr and Ludmila Vachtova; the Brazilian painter of carnival-inspired tropical plants and patterns, Beatriz Milhazes, with texts by Tanya Barson, Arto Lindsay and Barry Schwabsky; the strangely compelling French photographer of birds and bird habitats, Jean-Luc Mylayne, with writing by Josef Helfenstein and Fionn Meade; and the rising New York painter, Josh Smith, with texts by Christophe Cherix, Anne Pontegnie and Ira Wool. Also in this issue: Gabriel Kuri and Damian Ortega in conversation; Mark Godfrey on Sharon Lockhart; texts by Mark Von Schlegell, Andrew Weiner, Rainer Michael Mason and Rachel Price. Insert is by Matthias Uhr and spine is by Josh Smith.

Presenting unique and in-depth collaborations and editions with leading contemporary artists, Parkett has been the foremost international journal on contemporary art for nearly two decades. Issue No. 63 features collaborations with Tracey Emin, William Kentridge and Gregor Schneider, three artists whose highly personal works affect viewers in an evocative manner, yet through strikingly different means. Emin bares her soul from the inside out, in her confessional multimedia photographs, drawings, videos and installations. Kentridge's highly-charged films, drawings, sculptures and theatrical productions analyze the history of his native South Africa and the implications and legacy of apartheid. And finally, Schneider's inside-out abodes turn the seemingly cozy and reassuring context of "home" into a haunting maze of opened and closed rooms, claustrophobic corridors and tunnels, and impenetrable windows and doors. Each of these artists draws us into their private worlds, diminishing the boundaries between artist and audience.

Presenting unique and in-depth collaborations and editions with leading international artists, Parkett is one of the leading publications on contemporary art. Parkett No. 62 features Tacita Dean, Thomas Demand and John Wesley, three artists from different generations and backgrounds who deal with themes of representation and reception, artificiality and naturalness, fact and fiction, history and perception, and the stylized and the factual in painting, photography and film.

20 years of unparalleled exploration and discussion of important international contemporary artists continue in Parkett No. 74, which features collaborations by Bernard Frize, Katharina Grosse and Richard Serra. Frize's most recent paintings are created by teams of performers following intricate scores for the intertwining and knotting of ribbons of color, to dazzling effect. Grosse has also quietly been furthering the sort of formalism thought to have been exhausted by Abstract Expressionist and Color Field painting in the 1960s and 1970s: she takes to exhibition spaces with spray guns and goggles, jetting paint directly onto interior architectural elements to install kaleidoscopic dreamscapes of color-fueled intuition. Serra has recently put in a long-term installation at the Guggenheim Bilbao, and made an enigmatic work in stone on a remote Icelandic island. The issue includes texts on Serra by Hal Foster, Kate Nesin, Theodora Vischer and Kenneth Baker, and similarly bountiful files on Frize and Grosse, with work from writers including Jordan Kantor, Gregory Volk, Paul Mattick, and Hans Ulrich Obrist. Among the issue's freestanding pieces, Lytle Shaw writes on Jockum Nordström; Louise Neri on Trisha Brown and Lawrence Rinder on the San Francisco based "Mission School." Carsten Nicolai provides the spine design.

Presenting unique and in-depth collaborations and editions with leading international artists, Parkett No. 60 features Chuck Close, Diana Thater and Luc Tuymans, three artists from very different backgrounds. Contributing writers include Francine Prose and Richard Shiff on Close; Sara Arrhenius, Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe and Regina Hasslinger on Thater; and Laura Hoptman, Gerardo Mosquera and Hans Rudolf Reust on Tuymans. This issue also contains essays on David Bunn, Jeremy Deller and Paul Etienne Lincoln, as well as a conversation between Chuck Close and Elizabeth Peyton and an interview with Close by Bice Curiger.

For 20 years, Parkett has presented unparalleled explorations and discussions of important international contemporary artists by esteemed writers and critics. These investigations continue in issue No. 73, which features collaborations by Paul McCarthy, Ellen Gallagher and Anri Sala. McCarthy's probing 1970s performances led us through a portal of LA-based experimental art-making, and brought us face-to-face with our most animalistic urges and repulsions. Get behind McCarthy's post-pop masquerade and try to unpack the origins of his skewed and spewed sensibility. Also featured are Gallagher's meditative, collaged canvases. With her tiny toy eyeballs, hilarious Mammy-styled lips and Plasticine Afros the artist confronts sobering race relations in her work. Sala, an Albanian-born artist, has risen to international fame by making enigmatic, introspective videos, films and photographs that pulsate with perpetual déjà vu. His images fulfill a documentary function--whether that of his mother as a young woman giving an interview for the Communist Party, or two friends on a beach using a flashlight to get ghost crabs to scramble past ankle goalposts in the sand in oder to "score." Also in Parkett No. 73: artists Jason Dodge, Wangechi Mutu, Tania Bruguera, Lucy McKenzie, Matthew Brannon, and Carsten Nicolai. Writers include Thyrza Nichols Goodeve, Michelle Cliff, Ben Okri, Lane Relyea, Tim Martin, Jeremy Sigler, Mark Godfrey, Jan Verwoert, Lynne Cooke, Isolde Brielmaier, RoseLee Goldberg, Algela Rosenberg, Dominic von den Boogerd, Debra Singer, Natasa Petresin and Fabrice Stroun.

For 20 years, Parkett has presented unparalleled explorations and discussions of important international contemporary artists by esteemed writers and critics. These investigations continue in issue No. 72, which features collaborations by Urs Fischer, Richard Prince, Monica Bonvicini, and in a special twentieth anniversary section, Alex Katz. In Issue No. 72: come into Swiss-sculptor Urs Fischer's house of mirrors, among his oversized raindrops, chairs, and cigarette cartons, and ponder his spatially jarring world. Also, go on a guided tour up Richard Prince's driveway, past a parked 1973 Dodge Barracuda, where you'll get a close peek at his anti-monument of countercultural ephemera--a partially renovated, partially ramshackle house-work "painstakingly crafted to be almost impossible to find." Read about Italian-born artist Monica Bonvicini who refuses to be confined by the architecture of her surroundings, but offers in her radical gestures, her own menu of obstacles. Also in this issue, adjust your eyes to Alex Katz's flirtatiously awkward visions of reality until the details in his paintings emerge as indelible markings of timeless style. Pour into Katz's cool poetic pictures as if into a perfect fitting suit. Authors include, Beatrix Ruf, Benjamin Weissman, Brenda Richardson, Vincent Prôcoil, Alison Gingeras, Dike Blair, Juliane Rebentisch, Jorg Heiser, Lars Lerup, Anselm Franke, Ena Swansea, Bruce Hainley, Boris Groys, Daniel Kurjakovic, Douglas Fogle, Marc Gloede, Stephanie Smith and Hans Rudolf Reust.

Parkett No. 59 presents collaborations with Maurizio Cattelan, Yayoi Kusama and Kara Walker, as well as essays by Francesco Bonami on Cattelan; Midori Matsui on Kusama; and Hamza Walker and Elizabeth Janus on Walker, among others. Also featured are articles on Anna Gaskell and Annette Messager.

Presenting unique and in-depth collaborations with leading international artists, Parkett No. 58 features the work of Sylvie Fleury, Jason Rhoades and James Rosenquist--three artists who work with everyday matter to produce lively and expressive paintings and installations. Contributing writers include Adrian Dannatt, Jutta Koether and Beatrix Ruff on Fleury; Russell Ferguson, Roberto Ohrt and a conversation between Christian Scheidemann & Eve Meyer-Hermann on Rhoades; and Constance Glenn, Pontus Hulten, Michael Lobel, John Russell and Zdenek Felix on Rosenquist with a conversation between Jeff Koons and Rosenquist. The issue also contains essays on Hans Peter Kuhn, Jane & Louise Wilson and an interview with Chris Ofili by Paul Miller.

Presenting unique and in-depth collaborations and editions with leading international artists, Parkett #57 features the work of Doug Aitken, Nan Goldin, and Thomas Hirschhorn, three artists who conceive of private and personal landscapes and challenge our notions of the real and the imaginary. Contributing writers include Francesco Bonami, Christina van Assche, and James Roberts on Aitken; Arthur Danto, Deborah Eisenberg, Dana Friis-Hansen, Elisabeth Lebovici, and Lisa Liebmann on Goldin; and Robert Fleck, Alison Gingeras, Markus Steinweg, and Philippe Vergne on Hirschhorn. In addition, this issue contains essays on Donald Baechler, Louise Lawler, and John Miller. Parkett #58, featuring collaboration artists Sylvie Fleury, Jason Rhoades, and James Rosenquist, will be published in early Summer 2000.

For 20 years, Parkett presented unparalleled explorations and discussions of important international contemporary artists by esteemed writers and critics. These investigations continue in issue No. 70, which features collaborations by Swiss-American visual artist and composer Christian Marclay, Polish painter Wilhelm Sasnal, and British video artist and photographer Gillian Wearing. Each of these artists has carved out a unique manner of working with the mediums of sculpture, painting, and photography, respectively. As well, each artist extends the use of film and video to reflect political, social, or popular culture. Authors include Ingrid Schaffner, Philip Sherburne, and Philippe Vergne on Marclay; Meghan Dailey, Gregor Jansen and Adam Szymczyk on Sasnal; and Gordon Burn and Dan Cameron on Gillian Wearing, with a conversation between Cay Sophie Rabinowitz and Wearing. Also in this issue: Greg Hilty on Rebecca Warren, Dominic van den Boogerd on Aernout Mik, Catherine Wood on Mark Leckey, Carolee Thea on Joan Jonas, and an insert by Nic Hess. To celebrate Parkett's 20th Anniversary, this year's three issues (No. 70, 71, 72) will feature special contributions by both artists and writers on the current state of materiality in contemporary art. Scholarly writers look back to how earlier generations of artists employed materials and how this differs from so many contemporary artists' material engagements today. Collaborating artists of the past two decades contribute anecdotes, drawings, and photographs commemorating their experiences with Parkett. Best of all is the inclusion of an additional fourth collaborating artist who will participate in a discussion about his or her relationship to materiality and will create a new Parkett edition: with Franz West in issue No. 70, Pipilotti Rist No. 71 and Alex Katz in issue No. 72. For Parkett No. 71, the featured collaborating artists will be Swiss installation and video artist Olaf Breuning; British conceptualist Keith Tyson; and American painter Richard Phillips.
