About this book

The catalogue raisonné on Marcello Morandini (Mantova, 1940) represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date publication ever to be produced on his works of art. Edited by Marco Meneguzzo and subdivided into separate yet complementary sections, the catalogue gives a clear and in-depth description of Morandini's art from 1964 to the present day and is the result of the meticulous job carried out by the Marcello Morandini Foundation to catalogue, archive and authenticate his works. Comprising over 500 pages, the volume begins with a review by the editor and an essay by Serge Lemoine, a French historian who has followed Morandini's artistic career from the start. The second section contains a critical anthology of texts written for the artist's numerous exhibitions and which document his artistic research. Over the years, Morandini has explored different kinds of themes and studies on the movement of space (torsion, tension, expansion, superimposition), translating them into the world of geometry by using a bi-dimensional and tri-dimensional language and applying mathematical certainty to developing the work, in accordance with the inescapable conceptual premise whereby everything that surrounds us can be considered 'liveable'.

Thomas Ruff

herausgegeben von Matthias Winzen

"This catalog has been published in conjunction with the exhibition Thomas Ruff, K20 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf 12.09.2020-7.2.2021"--Colophon. "Thomas Ruff is one of the most important contemporary German photographers living today. Studying under Bernd and Hilla Becher, Ruff experimented with large-format printing. This comprehensive book focuses on his photographic series from the past twenty years. These series are based on found photographs from a variety of sources. The source materials range from early nineteenth century photography to machinemade photographs of distant planets, from post-war press photos to propaganda images from the People's Republic of China, and from Internet pornography to computer generated photograms. In each series, Ruff explores the historical and technical conditions of photography by examining these highly varied pictorial worlds. At the same time, he takes into consideration the afterlife of the images in archives, databases, and on the Internet, thus formulating highly complex perspectives on the photographic medium and the world that has already been photographed"--Publisher's website.

Joseph Cornell/Marcel Duchamp --in resonance

[introduction, Anne D'Harnoncourt

"This book chronicles the friendship and working relationship between Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and Joseph Cornell (1903-1972), two of the twentieth century's most innovative and influential artists. Joseph Cornell/Marcel Duchamp...in resonance publishes for the first time the Duchamp Dossier (c. 1942-53) - a hitherto publicly unknown collection compiled by Cornell and discovered in the artist's estate following his death in 1972. The small objects, typed and handwritten notes, and ephemera found within the Duchamp Dossier provide an absorbing record of the interchange between these two artists, which included Cornell's assisting Duchamp on the assembly of his edition de ou par Marcel Duchamp ou Rrose Selavy (commonly referred to as the Boite-en-valise)." "Both artists were intrigued by the connection between art and the found object, and they shared a fascination with replicated images and the processes of reproduction. They had parallel interests in optical devices, ephemeral mediums (such as glass, dust, and paper), filmmaking, and graphic design. The book focuses in depth on Duchamp's box editions and Cornell's often neglected "explorations," arranged files of printed matter, notes, and ephemera related to individuals or specific themes."--BOOK JACKET.

Katharina Sieverding entwickelte für das Museum Schloss Moyland eine Ausstellung, die sich aus verschiedenen multimedialen Projektionen und fotografischen Arbeiten von 1968 bis 2013 zu einer umfassenden Installation zusammensetzt. Die Krönung der Ausstellung bildet die Arbeit 'DIE SONNE UM MITTERNACHT SCHAUEN', für die Katharina Sieverding von Mai 2010 bis Juni 2013 kontinuierlich etwa 100.000 visuelle Informationsdaten der NASA herunterlud und zu einem dynamischen Bild der Sonnenoberfläche künstlerisch verdichtete. Eine leuchtend blaue Kugel – mit unaufhörlichen Lichtwechseln in Kratern und über Gebirgen auf der Oberfläche und umgeben von einer hell flammenden Aura – durchschwebt körperhaft den Raum.0Exhibition: Museum Schloss Moyland, Bedburg-Hau, Germany (28.7.-24.11.2013).
